أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ الْفَقِيهُ إِمْلَاءً، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، ثنا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، ثنا مَالِكُ بْنُ الْحُوَيْرِثِ قَالَ: أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ شَبَبَةٌ مُتَقَارِبُونَ فَأَقَمْنَا عِنْدَهُ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَحِيمًا رَقِيقًا فَلَمَّا ظَنَّ أَنَّا قَدِ اشْتَهَيْنَا أَهْلِينَا وَاشْتَقْنَا سَأَلَنَا عَمَّا تَرَكْنَا بَعْدُ فَأَخْبَرَنَاهُ فَقَالَ: " ارْجِعُوا إِلَى أَهَالِيكُمْ فَأَقِيمُوا فِيهِمْ، وَعَلِّمُوهُمْ وَمُرُوهُمْ " وَذَكَرَ أَشْيَاءَ أَحْفَظُهَا وَأَشْيَاءَ لَا أَحْفَظُهَا، " وَصَلُّوا كَمَا رَأَيْتُمُونِي أُصَلِّي، فَإِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَلْيُؤَذِّنْ لَكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ، وَلْيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَكْبَرُكُمْ ". رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى، وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَرَ كِلَاهُمَا عَنِ الثَّقَفِيِّ.
Sayyiduna Malik bin al-Huwayrith (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) as young men of similar age, and we stayed with him (peace and blessings be upon him) for twenty nights. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was very merciful and gentle-hearted. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) sensed that we were longing to go to our families, he asked us about those we had left behind, and we told him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Return to your families and stay among them, teach them and command them." And he (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned some things, some of which I remembered and some of which I forgot. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "'Sallu kama ra'aytumuni usalli' (Pray as you have seen me pray). When the time of prayer comes, one of you should give the adhan, and the eldest of you should lead the congregation."
