Hadith 4298

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا رَبَاحٌ ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ عُقْبَةَ أَخَّرَ الصَّلَاةَ مَرَّةً ، فَقَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَثَوَّبَ بِالصَّلَاةِ ، فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ الْوَلِيدُ : مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ ؟ أَجَاءَكَ مِنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَمْرٌ فِيمَا فَعَلْتَ ، أَمْ ابْتَدَعْتَ ؟ قَالَ : لَمْ يَأْتِنِي أَمْرٌ مِنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، وَلَمْ أَبْتَدِعْ ، وَلَكِنْ " أَبَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَيْنَا وَرَسُولُهُ أَنْ نَنْتَظِرَكَ بِصَلَاتِنَا وَأَنْتَ فِي حَاجَتِكَ " .
Qasim narrates from his father that once Walid bin Uqbah delayed the prayer. Seeing this, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up, gave the iqamah, and led the people in prayer. Walid sent a message to him asking, “Why did you do this? Have you received any order from the Commander of the Faithful regarding this matter, or have you invented something new?” He replied, “Neither have I received any order from the Commander of the Faithful, nor have I invented anything new. But Allah and His Messenger do not want us to wait for you for our prayer while you are busy with your own affairs.”
