Hadith of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7224 — Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari led the people
حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ النَّرْسِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ حِطَّانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الرَّقَاشِيِّ أَنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى صَلَّى بِهِمْ صَلَاةً ، فَلَمَّا جَلَسُوا فِي آخِرِ صَلَاتِهِمْ ، قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ : أُقِرَّتِ الصَّلَاةُ بِالْبِرِّ وَالزَّكَاةِ ؟ فَلَمَّا انْفَتَلَ أَبُو مُوسَى أَقْبَلَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ ، فَقَالَ : أَيُّكُمُ الْقَائِلُ كَلِمَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ؟ فَأَرَمَّ الْقَوْمُ مَرَّتَيْنِ قَالَ : فَلَعَلَّكَ يَا حِطَّانُ قُلْتَهَا ؟ قَالَ : مَا قُلْتُهَا ، وَلَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ تَبْكَعَنِي بِهَا ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ : أَنَا قُلْتُهَا ، وَمَا أَرَدْتُ بِهَا إِلَّا الْخَيْرَ . فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى : أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي صَلَاتِكُمْ ؟ إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - خَطَبَنَا فَبَيَّنَ لَنَا سُنَّتَنَا ، وَعَلَّمَنَا صَلَاتَنَا ، فَقَالَ : إِذَا صَلَّيْتُمْ فَأَقِيمُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ ، ثُمَّ لِيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ ، فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ الْإِمَامُ ، فَكَبِّرُوا ، وَإِذَا قَالَ : غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلا الضَّالِّينَ ، فَقُولُوا : آمِينَ يُجِبْكُمُ اللهُ ، فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ وَرَكَعَ ، فَكَبِّرُوا وَارْكَعُوا ، فَإِنَّ الْإِمَامَ يَرْكَعُ قَبْلَكُمْ ، وَيَرْفَعُ قَبْلَكُمْ ، فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « فَتِلْكَ بِتِلْكَ ، فَإِذَا قَالَ : سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ، فَقُولُوا : اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ ، يَسْمَعِ اللهُ لَكُمْ ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ قَالَ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ : سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ، فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ وَسَجَدَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَاسْجُدُوا ، فَإِنَّ الْإِمَامَ يَسْجُدُ قَبْلَكُمْ ، وَيَرْفَعُ قَبْلَكُمْ ، قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « فَتِلْكَ بِتِلْكَ ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ الْقَعْدَةِ فَلْيَكُنْ مِنْ أَوَّلِ قَوْلِ أَحَدِكُمُ : التَّحِيَّاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ لِلهِ ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ » » .
سَبْعُ كَلِمَاتٍ مِنْ تَحِيَّةِ الصَّلَاةِ ، قَالَ سَعِيدٌ : فَلَا أَدْرِي ، أَفِي قَوْلِ أَبِي مُوسَى كَانَ ذَلِكَ ، أَوْ شَيْءٍ كَانَ قَتَادَةُ يَقُولُهُ ، يَعْنِي بِقَوْلِهِ : سَبْعَ كَلِمَاتٍ .

Hittan bin Abdullah al-Raqashi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) led the people in prayer. When they sat for the final sitting (qa'dah) of their prayer, a man among the people spoke out: "Has the prayer been joined with righteousness and zakah?" When Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) completed the prayer, he turned to the people and asked: "Which of you is the one who said such-and-such words?" The people remained silent twice. Then he said: "O Hittan! Perhaps it was you who said these words?" He replied: "I did not say these words, and I was afraid that you would take me to task for them." Then a man among the people admitted: "It was I who said this, and I meant nothing but good by it." At this Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Do you not know what you should say in your prayer? Indeed the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed us, made clear to us our ways (sunnah) and taught us our prayer. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'When you pray, straighten your rows, then let one of you lead you in prayer. When the imam says the takbir, you too say the takbir; and when he says: (Not of those who have earned anger, nor of those who are astray), say 'Amin'; Allah will answer you. And when he says the takbir and bows, you too say the takbir and bow, for the imam bows before you and rises before you.' The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'So this is in exchange for that. And when he says 'Sami' Allahu liman hamidah', say: 'Allahumma rabbana lakal-hamd' (O Allah, our Lord, to You belongs all praise); Allah will hear you. For Allah Almighty has said by the tongue of His Prophet: Allah has heard the one who praises Him. And when he says the takbir and prostrates, you too say the takbir and prostrate, for the imam prostrates before you and rises before you.' The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'So this is in exchange for that. Then, when it is the time of the sitting (qa'dah), let the first words of each of you be: 'Al-tahiyyatu al-salawatu al-tayyibatu lillah, al-salamu 'alayka ayyuha al-nabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, al-salamu 'alayna wa 'ala 'ibadillahi al-salihin, ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, wa anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluh' (All verbal, physical and financial acts of worship are for Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is no true god except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the servant of Allah and His Messenger).' These are the seven phrases of the tashahhud of the prayer." The narrator of the hadith, Sa'id (may Allah have mercy on him), says: I do not know whether the phrase "seven phrases" was part of the statement of Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) or whether Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) was adding it as an explanation of his own.
