الْمَسْعُودِيُّ ، عَنْ
أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ
سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ بَيْنَ نَاسٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ شَيْءٌ ، فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُصْلِحَ بَيْنَهُمْ ، فَحَضَرَتْ الصَّلَاةُ ، فَجَاءَ بِلَالٌ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ ، قَدْ حَضَرَتْ الصَّلَاةُ ، وَلَيْسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَاهُنَا ، فَأُؤَذِّنُ وَأُقِيمُ فَتَتَقَدَّمَ وَتُصَلِّيَ ؟ قَالَ : مَا شِئْتَ فَافْعَلْ فَتَقَدَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَاسْتَفْتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَصَفَّحَ النَّاسُ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ ، فَذَهَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَتَنَحَّى ، فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَيْ مَكَانَكَ ، فَتَأَخَّرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَصَلَّى ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ ، قَالَ : " يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ ، مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَثْبُتَ ؟ " قَالَ : مَا كَانَ لِابْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَنْ يَتَقَدَّمَ أَمَامَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " فَأَنْتُمْ لِمَ صَفَّحْتُمْ ؟ " , قَالُوا : لِنُعْلِمَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ , قَالَ :
" إِنَّ التَّصْفِيحَ لِلنِّسَاءِ ، وَالتَّسْبِيحَ لِلرِّجَالِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was some discord among certain Ansari people, for the reconciliation of whom the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went. When the time for prayer came, Hazrat Bilal came to Sayyiduna Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "O Abu Bakr! The time for prayer has come, but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is not present here. Should I give the adhan and say the iqamah, and you step forward to lead the prayer?" After Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) finished the prayer, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O Abu Bakr! What prevented you from staying in your place?" He replied, "How could the son of Abu Quhafa dare to step ahead of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the people, "Why did you clap your hands?" They replied, "So that we could inform Abu Bakr." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Clapping is for women, and saying 'Subhan Allah' is for men."
