عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: حَجَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَجَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ، قَالَ: فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ أَوِ الْفَجْرِ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ انْحَرَفَ جَالِسًا أَوِ اسْتَقْبَلَ النَّاسَ بِوَجْهِهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ النَّاسِ لَمْ يُصَلِّيَا مَعَ النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: ((ائْتُونِي بِهَٰذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ))، فَأُتِيَ بِهِمَا تُرْعَدُ فَرَائِصُهُمَا، فَقَالَ: ((مَا مَنَعَكُمَا أَنْ تُصَلِّيَا مَعَ النَّاسِ؟)) قَالَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! إِنَّا كُنَّا قَدْ صَلَّيْنَا فِي الرِّحَالِ، قَالَ: ((فَلَا تَفْعَلَا، إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فِي رَحْلِهِ ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ فَلْيُصَلِّهَا مَعَهُ فَإِنَّهَا لَهُ نَافِلَةً))، قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا: اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! فَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ، قَالَ: وَنَهَضَ النَّاسُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَهَضْتُ مَعَهُمْ وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ أَشَبُّ الرِّجَالِ وَأَجْلَدُهُ، قَالَ: فَمَا زِلْتُ أَزْحَمُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى وَصَلْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ فَوَضَعْتُهَا إِمَّا عَلَى وَجْهِي أَوْ صَدْرِي، قَالَ: فَمَا وَجَدْتُّ شَيْئًا أَطْيَبَ وَلَا أَبْرَدَ مِنْ يَدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ
Sayyiduna Yazid bin Aswad says: We performed the Farewell Hajj with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. He led us in the Fajr prayer, and when he turned towards the people and sat down, he saw that there were two men sitting at the back of the people; they had not prayed with the people. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Bring these two to me. The two men were brought, and the flesh of their shoulders was trembling. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, asked them: What prevented you from praying with the people? They said: O Messenger of Allah! We had already prayed at our homes. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Do not do so in the future, and when any of you has prayed at home and then finds the congregational prayer with the Imam, he should also pray with him; it will become a voluntary prayer for him. One of the two said: O Messenger of Allah! Please seek forgiveness from Allah for me. So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sought forgiveness for him. Then the people rose towards the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and I also rose with them. At that time, I was the best and strongest young man among the people, so I made my way through the people until I reached the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Then I took his hand and placed it on my face or chest. I did not find anything better and cooler than the hand of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. On that day, he was in the Mosque of Khaif (in Mina).
