أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّافِعِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَمْرَو بْنَ دِينَارٍ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ: كَانَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ يُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعِشَاءَ أَوِ الْعَتَمَةَ، ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فَيُصَلِّيهَا بِقَوْمِهِ فِي بَنِي سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: فَأَخَّرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعِشَاءَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ، قَالَ: فَصَلَّى مُعَاذٌ مَعَهُ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَأَمَّ قَوْمَهُ، فَقَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ فَتَنَحَّى رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ فَصَلَّى وَحْدَهُ، فَقَالُوا لَهُ: أَنَافَقْتَ؟ قَالَ: لَا، وَلَكِنْ آتِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَتَاهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّكَ أَخَّرْتَ الْعِشَاءَ، وَإِنَّ مُعَاذًا صَلَّى مَعَكَ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَأَمَّنَا، فَافْتَتَحَ بِسُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ تَأَخَّرْتُ فَصَلَّيْتُ، وَإِنَّمَا نَحْنُ أَصْحَابُ مَوَاضِعَ نَعْمَلُ بِأَيْدِينَا، فَأَقْبَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى مُعَاذٍ، فَقَالَ: "أَفَتَّانٌ أَنْتَ يَا مُعَاذُ؟ أَفَتَّانٌ أَنْتَ؟ اقْرَأْ بِسُورَةِ كَذَا، وَبِسُورَةِ كَذَا" .
Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) used to perform the (obligatory) 'Isha prayer with the Prophet ﷺ, then he would lead his people, Banu Salamah, in the same prayer. Jabir bin Abdullah says that the Prophet ﷺ delayed the 'Isha prayer one night, Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) prayed with him, then returned and led his people in prayer, and began reciting Surah Al-Baqarah. A man separated himself from behind him and prayed alone. The people said to him: Have you become a hypocrite? The man said: No, but I will go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He came to you and said: O Messenger of Allah! You led the prayer late, and Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) prayed with you, then returned and led us in prayer and began with Surah Al-Baqarah. When I saw this, I separated and prayed alone, because we are farmers and work with our hands. The Prophet ﷺ turned to Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "O Mu'adh! Are you a cause of trial? Are you a cause of trial? Recite such and such surahs."
