(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ
مَنْصُورٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
مُجَاهِدًا يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ
أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ ، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ : كَتَبَ بِهِ إِلَيَّ ، وَقَرَأْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ ، وَسَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ ، وَلَكِنِّي حَفِظْتُهُ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ فِي مَصَافِّ الْعَدُوِّ بِعُسْفَانَ ، وَعَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ خَالِدُ ابْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الظُّهْرَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ : إِنَّ لَهُمْ صَلَاةً بَعْدَ هَذِهِ هِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ أَبْنَائِهِمْ وَأَمْوَالِهِمْ ، قال : " فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعَصْرَ ، فَصَفَّهُمْ صَفَّيْنِ خَلْفَهُ ، قَالَ : فَرَكَعَ بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَمِيعًا ، فَلَمَّا رَفَعُوا رُءُوسَهُمْ سَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ ، وَقَامَ الْآخَرُونَ ، فَلَمَّا رَفَعُوا رُءُوسَهُمْ سَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ ، لِرُكُوعِهِمْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ تَأَخَّرَ الصَّفُّ الْمُقَدَّمُ ، وَتَقَدَّمَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ ، فَقَامَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ فِي مَقَامِ صَاحِبِهِ ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَمِيعًا ، فَلَمَّا رَفَعُوا رُءُوسَهُمْ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ ، سَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ ، وَقَامَ الْآخَرُونَ ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyash Zarqi (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) at the place of Usfan when the polytheists appeared coming from the front. Their leader was Khalid bin Walid. They were positioned between us and the Qiblah. During this time, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) began to lead us in the Zuhr prayer. Seeing this, the polytheists said, "In the state they are in, if we wanted, we could attack them." Then they themselves said, "Another prayer time is about to come which is dearer to them than their children and even their own lives." At this moment, during the interval between Zuhr and Asr, Sayyiduna Jibreel descended with these verses: "And when you are among them..." . So when the time for Asr prayer came, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered the companions and they took up their weapons. Then we formed two rows behind the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) bowed in ruku and we also bowed. When he raised his head from ruku, we also raised our heads. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), along with those in the first row, performed sajdah, while those in the second row stood and kept watch. When they had completed their sajdah and stood up, those behind sat and performed sajdah. Then both rows switched their places and came to each other's positions. In the second rak'ah, all performed ruku together and raised their heads together. After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), along with the row behind him, performed sajdah, while those at the back stood and kept watch. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sat, the second row also sat and performed sajdah. After this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said salam and completed the prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) led such a prayer twice: once at Usfan and once in an area of Banu Sulaym.
