(وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرَةَ جَاءَ وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَاكِعٌ فَسَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَوْتَ نَعْلِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ وَهُوَ يَحْضُرُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُدْرِكَ الرَّكْعَةَ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((مَنِ السَّاعِي؟)) قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرَةَ: أَنَا، قَالَ: ((زَادَكَ اللَّهُ حِرْصًا وَلَا تَعُدْ))
(Second Chain) When Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reached the mosque, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the state of bowing (ruku‘). He hurried or walked quickly to catch the ruku‘, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard the sound of his shoes. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished, he asked: Who was the one running? Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It was me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah increase your eagerness, but do not do this again.
