بَابُ مَنْ رَكَعَ دُونَ الصَّفِّ ثُمَّ مَشَى إِلَيْهِ
Chapter on one who bowed before reaching the row and then walked to it
Hadith 2672
عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ جَاءَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَاكِعٌ فَرَكَعَ دُونَ الصَّفِّ ثُمَّ مَشَى إِلَى الصَّفِّ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((مَنْ هَٰذَا الَّذِي رَكَعَ ثُمَّ مَشَى إِلَى الصَّفِّ؟)) فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرَةَ: أَنَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((زَادَكَ اللَّهُ حِرْصًا وَلَا تَعُدْ))
When Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the state of bowing (ruku‘). He (Abu Bakrah) started the prayer and performed ruku‘ behind the row, and then walked forward to join the row. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Who was the person who started ruku‘ first and then walked to join the row? 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.
Hadith 2673
(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.
