مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ
قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ
شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ :
" اجْتَمِعُوا أُصَلِّي بِكُمْ صَلَاةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا , قَالَ : هَلْ فِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ ؟ قَالُوا : لَا , إِلَّا ابْنُ أُخْتٍ لَنَا , قَالَ : ابْنُ أُخْتِ الْقَوْمِ مِنْهُمْ , فَدَعَا بِجَفْنَةٍ فِيهَا مَاءٌ ، فَتَوَضَّأَ وَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا ، وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ، وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَظَهْرَ قَدَمَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِهِمْ ، فَكَبَّرَ بِهِمْ ثِنْتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ تَكْبِيرَةً ، يُكَبِّرُ إِذَا سَجَدَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ ، وَقَرَأَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ ، وَأَسْمَعَ مَنْ يَلِيهِ " .
Hazrat Abu Malik Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) once gathered his companions and said, "Come, I will show you how the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray." Hazrat Abu Malik was from among the Ash'ariyyin. He had a large bowl of water brought, and first washed both hands three times, then rinsed his mouth and put water in his nose, washed his face three times, and washed his arms three times. Then he wiped his head and ears, and washed his feet. He led the Zuhr prayer, in which he recited Surah Al-Fatiha, and said takbeer a total of 22 times.
