Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 2345

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُخَالِفُ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ : مَا يَحْمِلُكُ عَلَى هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ : إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يُصَلِّي صَلَاةً مَتَى تُوَافِقُهَا أُصَلِّي مَعَكَ، وَمَتَى تُخَالِفُهَا أُصَلِّي وَأَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى أَهْلِي .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
It is reported about Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he used to act contrary to Umar bin Abd al-Aziz. Umar bin Abd al-Aziz said to him: What makes you do this? He said: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), how he used to pray. So when you pray in accordance with (the practice of) the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I pray behind you, and when you pray contrary to the way of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I pray (by myself) and go back to my home.
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
