Hadith 531

نا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، نا خَلَفُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، نا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ هُوَ ابْنُ سَمُرَةَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يُصَلِّي نَحْوًا مِنْ صَلاتِكُمْ ، وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ يُخَفِّفُ الصَّلاةَ ، كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي صَلاةِ الْفَجْرِ بِالْوَاقِعَةِ وَنَحْوِهَا مِنَ السُّوَرِ " . قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : رَوَى هَذَا الْخَبَرَ مَنْ لَيْسَ الْحَدِيثُ صِنَاعَتُهُ ، فَجَاءَ بِطَامَّةٍ رَوَاهُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ ، فَقَالَ : عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to lead prayers like your prayers, but he would lead a brief and light prayer. He (peace be upon him) used to recite « سورة الواقعة » and similar surahs in the Fajr prayer. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that a person unfamiliar with the science of hadith narrated this hadith, and he made a great mistake; he narrated this report with the chain of Sulaiman Taimi from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) as marfu‘ (attributed to the Prophet), whereas this narration is reported from Sayyiduna Abu Barzah and Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with them both).
