حَدَّثَنَا
يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
حَمَّادٌ ، حَدَّثَنِي
عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ
أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ
سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : حَمَّادٌ : ثُمَّ لَقِيتُ أَبَا حَازِمٍ فَحَدَّثَنِي بِهِ ، فَلَمْ أُنْكِرْ مِمَّا حَدَّثَنِي شَيْئًا ، قَالَ : كَانَ قِتَالٌ بَيْنَ بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ ، فَأَتَاهُمْ لِيُصْلِحَ بَيْنَهُمْ ، وَقَالَ لِبِلَالٍ : " إِنْ حَضَرَتْ الصَّلَاةُ وَلَمْ آتِ ، فَمُرْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ " , قَالَ : فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْ الصَّلَاةُ ، أَذَّنَ ، ثُمَّ أَقَامَ ، فَأَمَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَتَقَدَّمَ ، فَلَمَّا تَقَدَّمَ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ صَفَّحَ النَّاسُ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِذَا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ لَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا رَآهُمْ لَا يُمْسِكُونَ الْتَفَتَ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ بِيَدِهِ أَنْ امْضِهْ ، قَالَ : فَرَجَعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْقَهْقَرَى ، قَالَ : وَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّلَاةَ ، قَالَ : " يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ ، مَا مَنَعَكَ إِذْ أَوْمَأْتُ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تَمْضِيَ فِي صَلَاتِكَ ؟ " قَالَ : فَقَالَ : مَا كَانَ لِابْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَنْ يَؤُمَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , ثُمَّ قَالَ :
" إِذَا نَابَكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شَيْءٌ فَلْيُسَبِّحْ الرِّجَالُ ، وَلْيُصَفِّقْ النِّسَاءُ " .
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 Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (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 then the iqamah, and you step forward to lead the prayer?" Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "As you wish." So Hazrat Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the adhan and iqamah, and Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) stepped forward and began the prayer. Meanwhile, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived. The people started clapping, and sensing this, Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) began to step back. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) signaled to him to remain in his place, but Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) moved back, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stepped forward and led the prayer. After finishing 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?" 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."
