(94) بَابُ ذِكْرِ الدَّلِيلِ عَلَى أَنَّ الِالْتِفَاتَ الْمَنْهِيَّ عَنْهُ فِي الصَّلَاةِChapter 94: Evidence regarding the prohibited turning in prayer
Hadith 486
نا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، نا شُعَيْبٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ اللَّيْثِ ، عَنِ اللَّيْثِ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : اشْتَكَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَصَلَّيْنَا وَرَاءَهُ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ يُكَبِّرُ ، فَيَسْمَعُ النَّاسُ تَكْبِيرَهُ ، قَالَ : فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا ، فَرَآنَا قِيَامًا ، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَعَدْنَا ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِنْ كِدْتُمْ آنِفًا تَفْعَلُونَ فِعْلَ فَارِسَ وَالرُّومِ ، يَقُومُونَ عَلَى مُلُوكِهِمْ وَهُمْ قَعُودٌ ، فَلا تَفْعَلُوا ، ائْتَمُّوا بِأَئِمَّتِكُمْ ، إِنْ صَلَّى الإِمَامُ قَائِمًا ، فَصَلُّوا قِيَامًا ، وَإِنْ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا ، فَصَلُّوا قُعُودًا " . وَفِي خَبَرِ سَهْلِ بْنِ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ فِي بَعْثِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَسَ بْنَ أَبِي مَرْثَدٍ لِيَحْرُسَهُمْ ، قَالَ : فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى الشِّعْبِ ، حَتَّى إِذَا قَضَى صَلاتَهُ فَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لِي : أَبْشِرُوا فَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ فَارِسُكُمْ
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) became ill, so we prayed behind him (standing) while he (peace be upon him) was leading the prayer sitting. And Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was saying the takbeer and conveying your (peace be upon him) takbeer to the people. He says that the Prophet (peace be upon him) looked towards us and saw us standing (praying), so he (peace be upon him) gestured to us (to sit), so we sat down. Then when he finished the prayer with salam, he said: "You have just done as the Persians and Romans do. They stand before their kings while they (the kings) are sitting. Therefore, do not do this (in the future). Follow your imams. If the imam leads the prayer standing, then you should pray standing, and if he leads sitting, then you should also pray sitting."
And the hadith of Sayyiduna Sahl bin Hanzaliyah (may Allah be pleased with him), in which it is mentioned that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Anas bin Abi Marthad (may Allah be pleased with him) to guard (the mountain pass), he says that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) kept turning towards the pass during the prayers until, when he completed his prayer, he finished with salam and said to me: "Rejoice, your (guard) horseman has arrived."
