Hadith 20844

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ ، وَأَبُو النَّضْرِ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ أَكُنْتَ تُجَالِسُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ كَثِيرًا ، " كَانَ لَا يَقُومُ مِنْ مُصَلَّاهُ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي فِيهِ الصُّبْحَ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ ، فَإِذَا طَلَعَتْ الشَّمْسُ قَامَ ، وَكَانَ يُطِيلُ قَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ : كَثِيرَ الصُّمَاتِ ، فَيَتَحَدَّثُونَ ، فَيَأْخُذُونَ فِي أَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، فَيَضْحَكُونَ ، وَيَتَبَسَّمُ " .
Simak says that I asked Hazrat Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) whether he used to attend the gatherings of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He replied, "Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not get up from the place where he offered the Fajr prayer until the sun had risen. When the sun would rise, he would get up. He would remain mostly silent and laugh little. However, in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the companions would talk and mention incidents from the days of ignorance and laugh, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would only smile."
