Hadith of Sahl bin Sa'd al-Sa'idi, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7545 — some discord had arisen among the tribe
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ ، كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُمْ مُنَازَعَةٌ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لِبَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ : اذْهَبُوا بِنَا لِنُصْلِحَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَخَرَجَ وَخَرَجَ مَعَهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ، فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ ، فَقَامَ بِلَالٌ فَأَذَّنَ ، ثُمَّ دَنَا مِنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، فَقَالَ : أَلَا أُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ فَتُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ حِينَمَا حُبِسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ؟ فَقَالَ : بَلَى ، فَأَقَامَ ، فَتَقَدَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، فَكَبَّرَ بِالنَّاسِ ، فَطَلَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنْ مُؤَخَّرِ الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَجَعَلَ يَجُولُ عَلَى الصُّفُوفِ جَوْلًا عَامِدًا نَحْوَ الْقِبْلَةِ ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ صَفَّقُوا بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ ، فَمَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى أَوَّلِ صَفٍّ ، فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرُوا التَّصْفِيقَ الْتَفَتَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَكَرَّ رَاجِعًا ، فَرَدَّهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ ، وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ ، ثُمَّ كَرَّ كَرَّةً غَيْرَ مُكَذَّبَةٍ حَتَّى وَلِجَ فِي الصَّفِّ ، فَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ ، فَقَالَ : أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، مَنْ نَابَهُ شَيْءٌ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلْيَقُلْ : سُبْحَانَ اللهِ ، فَإِنَّ التَّسْبِيحَ لِلرِّجَالِ ، وَإِنَّ التَّصْفِيحَ لِلنِّسَاءِ ، يَعْنِي : التَّصْفِيقَ ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، فَقَالَ : مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَثْبُتَ حِينَ أَمَرْتُكَ ؟ قَالَ : مَا كَانَ يَنْبَغِي لِابْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَنْ يَؤُمَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) that some discord had arisen among the tribe of Banu Amr bin Awf, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to some of his Companions: "Come with us, so that we may make peace between them." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) went, and his Companions were with him. Meanwhile the time of prayer came, and Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and gave the call to prayer (adhan). Then he came close to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Shall I not say the iqamah so that you may lead the people in prayer, since the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has not yet arrived? He said: "Yes (certainly)." So he said the iqamah, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stepped forward and said the opening takbir to lead the people in prayer. Just then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appeared from the back of the mosque and began to make his way through the rows towards the qiblah. When the Muslims saw him (peace and blessings be upon him), they clapped to draw the attention of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) kept going forward until he reached the first row. When the people clapped a great deal, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) turned, and there was the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So he began to step back, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) indicated to him to stay in his place facing the qiblah. He raised his hands and praised Allah, then stepped back until he joined the row. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went forward and led the people in prayer. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished the prayer, he turned his blessed face towards the people and said: "O people! If something happens to you during the prayer, you should say 'Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah),' for saying Subhan Allah is for men and clapping is for women." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked: "What prevented you from staying in your place when I indicated to you?" He said: It was not fitting for the son of Abu Quhafah to lead the prayer in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
