حَدِیث عَبدِ اللَّهِ بنِ الاَرقَمِ رَضِیَ اللَّه تَعَالَى عَنه
Hadith of Abdullah ibn al-Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him)
Hadith 16400
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ ، أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ وَكَانَ يَؤُمُّهُمْ وَيُؤَذِّنُ وَيُقِيمُ ، فَأَقَامَ يَوْمًا الصَّلَاةَ ، فَقَالَ : لِيُصَلِّ بِكُمْ رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَى الْخَلَاءِ ، وَأُقِيمَتْ الصَّلَاةُ ، فَلْيَذْهَبْ إِلَى الْخَلَاءِ " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Arqam once went for Hajj. He himself used to lead his companions in prayer, give the adhan, and say the iqamah. One day, when he was about to say the iqamah, he said: "Let one of you step forward and lead the prayer, because I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: If the prayer is established and any of you feels the need to go to the toilet, he should go to the toilet first."
