Bayhaqi 3329 — What to say when something happens in one's prayer

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، فِي آخَرِينَ، قَالُوا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ مَالِكٌ، (ح) وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَهَبَ إِلَى بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ لِيُصْلِحَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَحَانَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَجَاءَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ، فَقَالَ: أَتُصَلِّي لِلنَّاسِ فَأُقِيمَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ قَالَ: فَصَلَّى أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ: فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالنَّاسُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَتَخَلَّصَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ فِي الصَّفِّ، فَصَفَّقَ النَّاسُ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لَا يَلْتَفِتُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرَ النَّاسُ التَّصْفِيقَ الْتَفَتَ فَرَأَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنِ امْكُثْ مَكَانَكَ، ⦗٣٤٩⦘ فَرَفَعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يَدَيْهِ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ عَلَى مَا أَمَرَهُ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ اسْتَأْخَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى اسْتَوَى فِي الصَّفِّ وَتَقَدَّمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَلَّى، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَقَالَ: " يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَثْبُتَ إِذْ أَمَرْتُكَ؟ " قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: مَا كَانَ لِابْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَا لِيَ رَأَيْتُكُمْ أَكْثَرْتُمُ التَّصْفِيقَ؟ مَنْ نَابَهُ شَيْءٌ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلْيُسَبِّحْ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا سَبَّحَ الْتُفِتَ إِلَيْهِ، وَإِنَّمَا التَّصْفِيقُ لِلنِّسَاءِ " لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَحْيَى رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَحْيَى وَرَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd al-Sa'idi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went to Banu Amr bin Awf to make peace between them (and he was delayed), and the time of prayer came. The mu'adhdhin (Bilal, may Allah be pleased with him) came to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Will you lead the people in prayer, so that I may call the iqamah?" He said: "Yes." So he (may Allah be pleased with him) began leading the prayer. Meanwhile the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived while the people were praying. He (peace and blessings be upon him) made his way through the rows and came and stood in the first row, and the people began clapping. But Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) would not look around in prayer. When the people clapped a great deal, he turned and saw that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was standing behind. He (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him): "Continue leading the prayer in your place." He raised both his hands and praised Allah that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had commanded him to continue leading. Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) moved back and joined the first row, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went forward and he (peace and blessings be upon him) led the prayer. When he had finished the prayer, he said: "O Abu Bakr, why did you not remain in your place when I had commanded you?" Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "How could the son of Abu Quhafah dare to lead the prayer in front of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why did you clap so much in the prayer? If something happens to anyone in his prayer, let him say 'Subhan Allah' (Glory be to Allah); when he says it, attention will be paid to him. Clapping is only for women."
