عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَلَسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ أَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ وَضِعَ فَكَبَّرَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ الْقَهْقَرَى فَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ، ثُمَّ عَادَ حَتَّى فَرَغَ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ: ((يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ! إِنَّمَا فَعَلْتُ هَٰذَا لِتُؤْتَمُّوا بِي وَلِتَعْلَمُوا صَلَاتِي))، فَقِيلَ لِسَهْلٍ: هَلْ كَانَ مِنْ شَأْنِ الْجِذْعِ مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ؟ قَالَ: قَدْ كَانَ مِنْهُ الَّذِي كَانَ
Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d رضي الله عنه narrates: The day the pulpit was made, on that very day the Noble Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ascended it and said Allahu Akbar, then performed ruku’, then descended backwards and performed sajdah, and the people also performed sajdah. Then he صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ascended the pulpit again, then descended, until he completed the prayer, and said: O people! I did this so that you may follow me and learn the way I perform prayer. Someone asked Sayyiduna Sa’d رضي الله عنه: What is the matter of the trunk, as people say certain things about it? He said: Yes, whatever is narrated about it, that indeed happened.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Hammam narrates that Sayyiduna Hudhayfah radi Allahu anhu led the people in prayer in Mada’in while he was standing on a shop. Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud radi Allahu anhu grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him (down). When he finished the prayer, he said: “Do you not know that people were prohibited from such an action?” He replied: “Yes, of course, when you pulled me, I remembered this matter.” (Abu Dawud: 597)
