(وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا) قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ فَصَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَهُ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَجَرَّنِي فَجَعَلَنِي حِذَاءَهُ فَلَمَّا أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِ خَنَسْتُ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ لِي: ((مَا شَأْنِي أَجْعَلُكَ حِذَاءِي فَتَخْنِسُ؟)) فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَوَ يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ حِذَاءَكَ وَأَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَ اللَّهُ، قَالَ: فَأَعْجَبْتُهُ، فَدَعَا اللَّهَ لِي أَنْ يَزِيدَنِي عِلْمًا وَفَهْمًا، قَالَ: ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَامَ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُهُ يَنْفُخُ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ بِلَالٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! الصَّلَاةَ، فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى، مَا أَعَادَ وُضُوءًا
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, he says: I came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, in the last part of the night and began to pray standing behind him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, took my hand and pulled me to stand on his right side. Then, when the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, became engaged in his prayer, I moved back a little. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, completed the prayer, and when he finished, he said to me: What is the matter? I was making you stand on my right side, and you were moving back? I said: O Messenger of Allah! Is it befitting for anyone to stand equal to you in prayer, while you are the Messenger of Allah, to whom Allah has granted (so much)? When I said this, I amazed the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, so he prayed for me that Allah increase me in knowledge and understanding. Then I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that he slept, until I heard the sound of his snoring. Then Sayyiduna Bilal, may Allah be pleased with him, came and said: O Messenger of Allah! The prayer. So the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, stood up and prayed without performing ablution again.
