Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 3602 — Surah al-An'am

وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبَانَ ، ثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، ثَنَا أَبُو مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْخُزَاعِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الشَّجَرَةِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا جَلَسَ النَّاسُ مِنْ حَوْلِهِ صَلَّى صَلَاةً خَفِيفَةً تَامَّةَ الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ ، فَسَجَدَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَأَطَالَ السُّجُودَ ، حَتَّى أَوْمَأَ بَعْضُنَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ أَنِ اسْكُتُوا فَإِنَّهُ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ لَهُ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَطَلْتَ السُّجُودَ حَتَّى أَوْمَأَ بَعْضُنَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ أَنَّهُ نَزَلَ عَلَيْكَ . قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا ، وَلَكِنَّهَا كَانَتْ صَلَاةَ رَغْبَةٍ وَرَهْبَةٍ ، سَأَلْتُ اللهَ تَعَالَى ثَلَاثًا فَأَعْطَانِي اثْنَتَيْنِ وَمَنَعَنِي وَاحِدَةً ، سَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُسْحِتَكُمْ بِعَذَابٍ عَذَّبَ بِهِ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَأَعْطَانِيهَا ، وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُسَلِّطَ عَلَى عَامَّتِكُمْ عَدُوًّا يَسْتَبِيحُهَا فَأَعْطَانِيهَا ، وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَلْبِسَكُمْ شِيَعًا وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَكُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ فَمَنَعَنِيهَا " قَالَ : قُلْتُ لَهُ أَبُوكَ ، سَمِعْتَهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَدَدَ أَصَابِعِهِ هَذِهِ عَشْرًا .
3602 \ 2 - وَقَالَ الْبَزَّارُ : حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ ثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، نَحْوَهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Khalid al-Khuza'i (may Allah be pleased with him) (who was one of the Companions of the Tree) that it was the practice of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that when people were present around him, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would offer a short prayer, yet complete in its bowing and prostration. Once he (peace and blessings be upon him) prolonged a prostration in prayer so much that we began signalling to one another to keep silent, as perhaps revelation was descending upon him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer, someone said: O Messenger of Allah! You prolonged the prostration so much that we thought revelation might be descending upon you. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It was not so; rather, this was a prayer of longing and fear (that is, hope and dread). I asked Allah Almighty for three things; He granted me two and withheld one. I asked Allah that He would not destroy you root and branch with a punishment with which He destroyed those before you, and Allah accepted this supplication of mine; and I asked that He would not set over your whole community any external enemy who would violate your sanctities, and Allah granted this too; and I pleaded that He would not 'confound you into sects and make you taste the violence of one another' [Surah al-An'am: 65], that is, that He would not divide you into different factions and entangle you with one another, nor make you taste the severity of one another's fighting, but Allah withheld this from me (that is, He did not accept this supplication)." The narrator Abu Malik says: I asked Nafi': Did your father hear it from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) himself? He said: Yes, and, indicating with these fingers of his, he mentioned that his father heard it from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ten times.
Imam al-Bazzar also transmitted a similar narration with his chain through Ali bin al-Mundhir from Ibn Fudayl.
