Hadith 391
391 صحيح حديث مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ قَوْمِي فَأَقَمْنَا عِنْدَهُ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً، وَكَانَ رَحِيمًا رَفِيقًا، فَلَمَّا رَأَى شَوْقَنَا إِلَى أَهَالِينَا، قَالَ: ارْجِعُوا فَكُونُوا فِيهِمْ، وَعَلِّمُوهُمْ، وَصَلُّوا؛ فَإِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَلْيُؤَذِّنْ لكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ، وَلْيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَكْبَرُكُمْ
Sayyiduna Malik bin Huwairith (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) along with some men from my tribe (Banu Layth), and I stayed in his noble company for twenty nights. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was very kind and friendly. When he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sensed our longing to return home, he said, "Now you may go. Go and teach your people religion, and (while traveling) continue to perform prayers. When the time for prayer comes, let one of you give the call to prayer (adhan), and let the eldest among you lead the prayer."
