حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ ، عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ : " بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى جَمَلٍ ، فَأَنَاخَهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، ثُمَّ عَقَلَهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ : أَيُّكُمْ مُحَمَّدٌ ؟ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُتَّكِئٌ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْهِمْ ، قَالَ : فَقَالُوا : هَذَا الرَّجُلُ الْأَبْيَضُ الْمُتَّكِئُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ : يَا ابْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : قَدْ أَجَبْتُكَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، إِنِّي سَائِلُكَ وَمُشَدِّدٌ عَلَيْكَ فِي الْمَسْأَلَةِ ، فَلَا تَجِدَنَّ عَلَيَّ فِي نَفْسِكَ ، فَقَالَ : سَلْ مَا بَدَا لَكَ ، قَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ : نَشَدْتُكَ بِرَبِّكَ وَرَبِّ مَنْ قَبْلَكَ ، آللَّهُ أَرْسَلَكَ إِلَى النَّاسِ كُلِّهِمْ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَأَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ ، آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ فِي الْيَوْمِ وَاللَّيْلَةِ ؟ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَأَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ ، آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تَصُومَ هَذَا الشَّهْرَ مِنَ السَّنَةِ ؟ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَأَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ ، آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةَ مِنْ أَغْنِيَائِنَا ، فَتَقْسِمَهَا عَلَى فُقَرَائِنَا ؟ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ : آمَنْتُ بِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ ، وَأَنَا رَسُولُ مَنْ وَرَائِي مِنْ قَوْمِي " ، وَأَنَا ضِمَامُ بْنُ ثَعْلَبَةَ أَخُو بَنِي سَعْدِ بْنِ بَكْرٍ .
´It was narrated from Sharik bin ‘Abdullah bin Abu Namir that he heard Anas bin Malik say:` “While we were sitting in the mosque, a man entered riding a camel; he made it kneel in the mosque, then he hobbled it and said to them: ‘Which of you is Muhammad?’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was reclining among them, so they said: ‘This fair- skinned man who is reclining.’ The man said to him: ‘O son of ‘Abdul- Muttalib!’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘I am listening to you.’ The man said: O Muhammad! I am asking you and will be stern in asking, so do not bear any ill-feelings towards me.’ He said: ‘Ask whatever you think.’ The man said: ‘I adjure you by your Lord and the Lord of those who came before you, has Allah sent you to all of mankind?’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘By Allah, yes.; He said: ‘I adjure you by Allah, has Allah commanded you to pray the five prayers each day and night?’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘By Allah, yes.’ He said: ‘I adjure you by Allah, has Allah commanded you to fast this month of each year?’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘By Allah, yes.’ He said: ‘I adjure you by Allah, has Allah commanded you to take this charity from our rich and distribute it among our poor?’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘By Allah, yes.’ The man said: ‘I believe in what you have brought, and I am the envoy of my people who are behind me. I am Dimam bin Tha’labah, the brother of Banu Sa’d bin Bakr.’”

Explanation & Benefits

Benefits and Issues:
➊ In the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the mosque was simple and unpaved. Therefore, the coming of camels and the like was not prohibited. It is possible that a place was designated for seating camels. On this basis, nowadays a specific area can be allocated next to the mosque for bicycles, scooters, cars, etc.
➋ A distinguished seat can be reserved in a gathering for an honorable personality, so that newcomers do not have difficulty in recognizing them.
➌ If, while asking a question, proper etiquette and respect are not observed, the scholar should not take offense.
➍ The narration of a single narrator (khabar wahid) is acceptable, provided that the narrator is trustworthy (thiqqah).
➎ Traveling to a scholar and investigating issues with him is commendable.
➏ If a hadith is known with a lower chain of transmission (nazil sanad), then striving to obtain it with a higher chain (ali sanad) is a good thing.
➐ Recitation to the shaykh (qira’ah ‘ala al-shaykh) is also a correct method of acquiring knowledge.
➑ When a community selects an individual as their representative, then their proceedings should be trusted, unless a clear mistake is committed by him.

➊ Benefits and Issues
From the blessed hadith, it is understood that five prayers are obligatory in a day. It is also evident that whoever safeguards the five prayers, Allah Ta’ala will grant him entry into Paradise. The Sunnah prayers before and after the obligatory prayers are not themselves obligatory, but there are glad tidings of immense reward for performing them, as narrated from Sayyidah Umm Habibah radi Allahu anha that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:
«ما من عبد مسلم يصلي لله كل يوم ثنتي عشرة ركعة تطوعا غير فريضة إلا بنى الله له بيتا فى الجنة او إلا بني له بيت فى الجنة» [صحیح مسلم]
“Whoever among the Muslims prays twelve units (rak‘at) of voluntary prayer for the sake of Allah every day, Allah Ta’ala will build for him a house in Paradise.”
According to the narration of Tirmidhi, the details of these twelve units are as follows: two before Fajr, four before Dhuhr and two after it, two after Maghrib, and two after ‘Isha. In our society, this voluntary prayer is referred to as the emphasized Sunnah (sunan mu’akkadah). The scholars of hadith have also deduced from this hadith that the Witr prayer is not obligatory, rather it is a voluntary prayer, and insha’Allah this deduction is correct. Further discussion on this will be presented under the topic of the Witr prayer. «والله اعلم بالصواب»
