Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2088 — An imam whose kunyah was Sayyiduna Abu
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الرَّمَادِيُّ قَالَ : نَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ قَالَ : نَا الْمِنْهَالُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ ، عَنِ الْأَزْرَقِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ : صَلَّى لَنَا إِمَامٌ يُكْنَى أَبَا رِمْثَةَ فِي مُصَلَّانَا الْعَصْرَ ، وَمَعَنَا رَجُلٌ شَهِدَ تَكْبِيرَةَ الْأُولَى ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أَبُو رِمْثَةَ قَامَ الرَّجُلُ يَشْفَعُ ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو رِمْثَةَ ، فَقَالَ : صَلَّيْتُ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ ، أَوْ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ ، مَعَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- ، وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ يُقَدَّمَانِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ ، وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ قَدْ شَهِدَ التَّكْبِيرَةَ الْأُولَى مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ ، فَصَلَّى النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ عَنْ يَمِينٍ وَيَسَارٍ ، حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ وَضَحَ خَدَّيْهِ ، ثُمَّ انْفَتَلَ كَانْفِتَالِ أَبِي رِمْثَةَ ، يَعْنِي : نَفْسَهُ ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقَوْمَ ، فَقَامَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي أَدْرَكَ مَعَهُ التَّكْبِيرَةَ الْأُولَى يَشْفَعُ ، فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ ، فَأَخَذَ بِمَنْكِبِهِ ، فَلَهَزَهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : اجْلِسْ ، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُهْلِكْ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِصَلَاتِهِمْ فَصْلٌ ، فَرَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- بَصَرَهُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ : أَصَابَ اللهُ بِكَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ . لَا يُرْوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ أَبِي رِمْثَةَ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ الْمِنْهَالُ I " .
Al-Azraq bin Qays (may Allah have mercy on him) said: An imam whose kunyah was Sayyiduna Abu Rimthah (may Allah be pleased with him) led us in the Asr prayer in our place of prayer, and with us was a man who had joined at the opening takbir. When Sayyiduna Abu Rimthah (may Allah be pleased with him) finished (the prayer with the salam), that man stood up to pray (supererogatory prayer). Sayyiduna Abu Rimthah (may Allah be pleased with him) looked at him and said: "I prayed this prayer, or a prayer like it, with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to be given places at the front in the prayer. There too was a man who had joined at the opening takbir of the prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the prayer, then gave the salam to the right and the left until I saw the whiteness of his (peace and blessings be upon him) cheeks; then he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned (towards the congregation) just as Abu Rimthah (meaning he pointed to himself) had turned, and faced the people. Then the man who had joined him (peace and blessings be upon him) at the opening takbir stood up to pray supererogatory prayer, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) went up to him, took him by the shoulder and shook him, then said: 'Sit down! For the People of the Book were destroyed only because there was no separation (distinction) between their prayers.' At this the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his blessed gaze towards him and said: 'O Ibn al-Khattab, Allah has made you say what is right.'"
This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Rimthah (may Allah be pleased with him) only with this chain, and al-Minhal bin Khalifah (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it.
