مِنْ مُسْنَدِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ
From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1355 — he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : « أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ يُكَفِّرُ اللهُ بِهِ الْخَطَايَا وَيَزِيدُ فِي الْحَسَنَاتِ ؟ » قَالُوا : بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ . قَالَ : « إِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ فِي الْمَكَارِهِ ، وَكَثْرَةُ الْخُطَا إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ ، وَانْتِظَارُ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ ، مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُتَطَهِّرًا فَيُصَلِّي مَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ الصَّلَاةَ الْجَامِعَةَ ، ثُمَّ يَقْعُدُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَنْتَظِرُ الصَّلَاةَ الْأُخْرَى ، إِلَّا الْمَلَكُ يَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ ، اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْهُ ، فَإِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَاعْدِلُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ ، وَأَقِيمُوا ، وَسُدُّوا الْفُرَجَ ، فَإِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ خَلْفِي وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِي . فَإِذَا قَالَ إِمَامُكُمُ : اللهُ أَكْبَرُ ، فَقُولُوا : اللهُ أَكْبَرُ . وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا ، وَإِذَا قَالَ : سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ، فَقُولُوا : اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ . وَإِنَّ خَيْرَ الصُّفُوفِ الْمُقَدَّمُ ، وَشَرَّهَا الْمُؤَخَّرُ ، وَخَيْرَ صُفُوفِ النِّسَاءِ الْمُؤَخَّرُ ، وَشَرَّهَا الْمُقَدَّمُ . يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ ، إِذَا سَجَدَ الرِّجَالُ فَاخْفِضْنَ أَبْصَارَكُنَّ لَا تَرَيْنَ عَوْرَاتِ الرِّجَالِ ، مِنْ ضِيقِ الْأُزُرِ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Shall I not tell you of something by which Allah Almighty wipes out sins and increases good deeds?" The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), of course (please tell us)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Performing ablution thoroughly despite difficulty (such as severe cold or hardship), taking many steps to the mosques, and waiting for one prayer after another prayer. There is none of you who goes out of his house in a state of purity, then prays the congregational prayer with the Muslims, and then sits in the mosque waiting for the next prayer, except that the angel keeps supplicating: 'Allahummaghfir lahu, Allahummarhamhu' (O Allah, forgive him; O Allah, have mercy on him). So when you stand for prayer, keep your rows even, straighten them and fill the gaps in between, for I see you behind me, from the side of my back. Then when your imam says 'Allahu akbar' (Allah is the Greatest), you too say 'Allahu akbar'; when he bows, you too bow; and when he says 'Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah' (Allah has heard the one who praised Him), you say 'Allahumma rabbana lakal-hamd' (O Allah, our Lord, to You belongs all praise). And indeed the best rows of the men are the first and the worst are the last, while the best rows of the women are the last and the worst are the first. O company of women! When the men prostrate, keep your gaze lowered, so that you do not see the private parts of the men because of the tightness of their waist-wrappers."
