(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو عَامِرٍ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، حَدَّثَنَا
زُهَيْرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ ، عَنْ
سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى مَا يُكَفِّرُ اللَّهُ بِهِ الْخَطَايَا ، وَيَزِيدُ بِهِ فِي الْحَسَنَاتِ ؟ " قَالُوا : بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " إِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ عَلَى الْمَكَارِهِ ، وَكَثْرَةُ الْخُطَا إِلَى هَذِهِ الْمَسَاجِدِ ، وَانْتِظَارُ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ ، مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُتَطَهِّرًا ، فَيُصَلِّي مَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ الصَّلَاةَ ، ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ فِي الْمَجْلِسِ يَنْتَظِرُ الصَّلَاةَ الْأُخْرَى ، إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ ، اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْهُ ، فَإِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَاعْدِلُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ ، وَأَقِيمُوهَا ، وَسُدُّوا الْفُرَجَ ، فَإِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ظَهْرِي ، فَإِذَا قَالَ إِمَامُكُمْ : اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، فَقُولُوا : اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا ، وَإِذَا قَالَ : سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ، فَقُولُوا : اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ ، وَإِنَّ خَيْرَ الصُّفُوفِ صُفُوفِ الرِّجَالِ الْمُقَدَّمُ ، وَشَرُّهَا الْمُؤَخَّرُ ، وَخَيْرُ صُفُوفِ النِّسَاءِ الْمُؤَخَّرُ ، وَشَرُّهَا الْمُقَدَّمُ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ إِذَا سَجَدَ الرِّجَالُ فَاغْضُضْنَ أَبْصَارَكُنَّ لَا تَرَيْنَ عَوْرَاتِ الرِّجَالِ مِنْ ضِيقِ الْأُزُرِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shall I not tell you something by which Allah forgives sins and increases good deeds? The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: Why not, O Messenger of Allah! He said: Completing ablution despite difficulty, taking many steps towards the mosques, and waiting for one prayer after another. Whoever among you leaves his house after performing ablution and offers prayer with the Muslims, then sits in the mosque waiting for the next prayer, the angels pray for him: O Allah! Forgive him, O Allah! Have mercy on him. When you stand for prayer, straighten the rows and fill the gaps, for I see you from behind as well. And when your imam says Allahu Akbar, you also say Allahu Akbar; when he bows, you also bow; when he says Sami Allahu liman Hamidah, you say Allahumma Rabbana lakal hamd. And the best row among the men's rows is the first, and the least is the last; and among the women's rows, the best is the last and the least is the first. O group of women! When the men prostrate, lower your gaze and do not look at the private parts of men through the openings of the lower garments.
