حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْهَرَوِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ : انْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لِيُصْلِحَ بَيْنَ بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ : وَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ ، فَقَالَ بِلَالٌ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ : أَأُؤَذِّنُ فَتُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، فَأَقَامَ بِلَالٌ ، فَتَقَدَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ ، وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَجَعَلُوا يُصَفِّقُونَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ ، وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لَا يَكَادُ يَلْتَفِتُ إِذَا كَانَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ ، فَلَمَّا صَفَّقُوا الْتَفَتَ ، فَرَأَى رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَتَأَخَّرَ ، فَأَوْمَأَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِيَدِهِ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ فَأَبَى ، فَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَصَلَّى ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ : مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ ؟ قَالَ : مَا كَانَ لِابْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَنْ يَؤُمَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ ، فَقَالَ : مَا بَالُ التَّصْفِيقِ ؟ إِنَّمَا التَّصْفِيقُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ لِلنِّسَاءِ ، فَإِذَا كَانَ لِأَحَدِكُمْ حَاجَةٌ فَلْيُسَبِّحْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went to make peace among the Ansar tribe of Banu Amr bin Awf. Meanwhile the time of prayer came, so Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) asked Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him): "Shall I call the adhan, so that you lead the people in prayer?" He replied: "Yes." So Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) called the iqamah, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) went forward and began leading the people in prayer. In the meantime the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived, and the people began clapping to draw the attention of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) usually did not turn around during the prayer, but when the people clapped a great deal, he turned, and on seeing the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) he began to step back. At this the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured to him with his blessed hand that he should continue leading the prayer, but he declined. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went forward and led the prayer. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) had completed the prayer, he asked Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him): "What prevented you from leading the prayer?" He replied: "It is not fitting for the son of Abu Quhafah to lead the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in prayer." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to the people and said: "What is this matter of clapping? Clapping in prayer is only for women; so when one of you has some need during the prayer, let him say 'Subhan Allah' (Glory be to Allah)."
