حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، الْمَعْنَى وَاحِدٌ ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ لَهُ أَوْ لِصَاحِبٍ لَهُ : " إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ ، فَأَذِّنَا ثُمَّ أَقِيمَا ثُمَّ لِيَؤُمَّكُمَا أَكْبَرُكُمَا سِنًّا " ، وَفِي حَدِيثِ مَسْلَمَةَ، قَالَ : وَكُنَّا يَوْمَئِذٍ مُتَقَارِبَيْنِ فِي الْعِلْمِ ، وقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ : قَالَ خَالِدٌ : قُلْتُ لِأَبِي قِلَابَةَ : فَأَيْنَ الْقُرْآنُ ؟ قَالَ : إِنَّهُمَا كَانَا مُتَقَارِبَيْنِ .
Malik bin al-Huwairith said that the Prophet ﷺ told him or some of his companions: When the time of prayer comes, call the Adhan, then call the iqamah, then the one who is oldest of you should act as your imam. The version narrated by Maslamah goes: He said: On that day we were almost equal in knowledge. The version narrated by Ismail says: Khalid said: I said to Abu Qilabah: where is the Quran (i. e. why did the Prophet ﷺ not say: The one who knows the Quran most should act as imam)? He replied: Both of them were equal in the knowledge of the Quran.
Hadith 1018
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قِلَابَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُهَلَّبِ ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ ، قَالَ : سَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ثَلَاثِ رَكَعَاتٍ مِنَ الْعَصْرِ ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ ، قَالَ : عَنْ مَسْلَمَةَ الْحُجَرَ ، فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ : الْخِرْبَاقُ ، كَانَ طَوِيلَ الْيَدَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : أَقُصِرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ فَخَرَجَ مُغْضَبًا يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " أَصَدَقَ ؟ " قَالُوا : نَعَمْ ، فَصَلَّى تِلْكَ الرَّكْعَةَ ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْهَا ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ .
Imran bin Husain said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave the salutation at the end of three rakahs in the afternoon prayer, then went into the apartment (according to the version of maslamah). A man called al-Khirbaq who had long arms got up and said ; has the prayer been shortened, Messenger of Allah ? He came out angrily trailing his cloak and said: Is he telling the truth ? they said; Yes. He then prayed that rakah, then gave the salutation, then made two prostrations, then gave the salutation.
