Bayhaqi 5254 — Praying behind two imams, one after the other

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا سَعْدَانُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، وَهُوَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: وَقَعَ بَيْنَ الْأَوْسِ وَالْخَزْرَجِ كَلَامٌ فَتَنَاوَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا، وَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُخْبِرَ، فَأَتَاهُمْ فَاحْتُبِسَ، فَأَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ وَاحْتُبِسَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا احْتُبِسَ أَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ فَتَقَدَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَؤُمُّ النَّاسَ، وَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ مُحْتَبَسِهِ ذَاكَ قَالَ: فَتَخَلَّلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى الصَّفِّ الَّذِي يَلِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ، فَصَفَّقَ النَّاسُ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لَا يَلْتَفِتُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ التَّصْفِيقَ الْتَفَتَ فَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَنِ اثْبُتْ مَكَانَكَ "، فَرَفَعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَنَكَصَ الْقَهْقَرَى وَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ: " مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَثْبُتَ؟ " قَالَ: مَا كَانَ اللهُ لِيَرَى ابْنَ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَالُكُمْ حِينَ نَابَكُمْ شَيْءٌ فِي صَلَاتِكُمْ صَفَّقْتُمْ؟ إِنَّمَا هَذَا لِلنِّسَاءِ، مَنْ نَابَهُ شَيْءٌ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلْيَقُلْ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ ". أَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ، وَمُسْلِمٌ مِنْ أَوْجُهٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ. وَالْحَدِيثُ فِي تَكْبِيرِهِ ثُمَّ خُرُوجِهِ لِلْغُسْلِ وَرُجُوعِهِ، وَإِتْمَامِ مَنْ كَبَّرَ قَبْلَ رُجُوعِهِ قَدْ مَضَتْ فِي مَسْأَلَةِ الْجُنُبِ.
Abu Hazim narrates from Sahl bin Sa'd al-Sa'idi (may Allah be pleased with him) that a dispute arose between the Aws and the Khazraj, and they used harsh words against one another. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was approached and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed. He (peace and blessings be upon him) went to them and was held up. Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the adhan, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained held up. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) remained held up, the iqamah for the prayer was given and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stepped forward to lead. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came back from there. The narrator says: He made his way through the people until he reached the row next to Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). The people clapped, and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) would not turn his attention to anything in his prayer. When he heard the sound of clapping, he turned, and there was the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured: "Stay in your place." Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) raised his head towards the sky and stepped back on his heels. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stepped forward and led them in prayer. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) completed the prayer, he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What prevented you from staying in your place?" He replied: "It was not fitting for the son of Abu Quhafah to be in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When something happens to you in the prayer, you clap; this is for women. When something happens to someone in the prayer, let him say: 'Subhan Allah' (Glory be to Allah)."
