Musnad Abi Ya'la 7517 — Some harsh words were exchanged between
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، سَمِعَهُ مِنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ وَهُوَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « وَقَعَ بَيْنَ الْأَوْسِ وَالْخَزْرَجِ كَلَامٌ ، حَتَّى تَنَاوَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا ، فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأُخْبِرَ ، فَأَتَاهُمْ ، فَأَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ بِالصَّلَاةِ ، فَاحْتَبَسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَلَمَّا أَنِ احْتَبَسَ أَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ ، وَتَقَدَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَؤُمُّ النَّاسَ ، وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنْ مَجِيئِهِ ذَلِكَ فَتَخَلَّلَ النَّاسَ ، حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى الصَّفِّ الَّذِي يَلِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ ، فَصَفَّقَ النَّاسُ ، وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لَا يَلْتَفِتُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ التَّصْفِيقَ الْتَفَتَ فَإِذَا هُوَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « أَنِ اثْبُتْ قَالَ : مَا كَانَ اللهُ لِيَرَى ابْنَ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَقَالَ لِلنَّاسِ : مَا لَكُمْ حِينَ نَابَكُمْ شَيْءٌ فِي صَلَاتِكُمْ صَفَّقْتُمْ ؟ إِنَّمَا هُوَ لِلنِّسَاءِ ، مَنْ نَابَهُ شَيْءٌ فِي صَلَاتِهِ ، فَلْيَقُلْ : سُبْحَانَ اللهِ » » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him): "Some harsh words were exchanged between the tribes of Aws and Khazraj, until it reached the point of laying hands on one another. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of this, he (peace and blessings be upon him) went to them (to make peace between them). Meanwhile Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the call to prayer, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) remained there. When his (peace and blessings be upon him) return was delayed, Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) called the iqamah for the prayer, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stepped forward to lead the people. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived and, passing between the rows, reached the row that was directly behind Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). The people clapped (to alert Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him)). It was the habit of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) not to look around during the prayer, but when the sound of clapping continued, he turned and saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) there. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured to him: 'Stay in your place.' But he said (as he moved back): 'Allah would not have it that the son of Abu Quhafah should stand in front of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) leading the prayer.' Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed the people and said: 'What is the matter with you that when something happened in the prayer you began clapping? Clapping is only for women. Whoever faces something during the prayer should say: "Subhan Allah" (Glory be to Allah).'"
