Bayhaqi 5307 — Leading the prayer by order of the ruler

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أنبأ حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: كَانَ قِتَالٌ بَيْنَ بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَاهُمْ لِيُصْلِحَ بَيْنَهُمْ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ، فَقَالَ لِبِلَالٍ: " إِذَا حَضَرَتْ صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ وَلَمْ آتِكَ فَمُرْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ، فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْ صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ أَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ ثُمَّ أَقَامَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَتَقَدَّمَ. وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ: " إِذَا نَابَكُمْ شَيْءٌ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيُسَبِّحِ الرِّجَالُ، وَلْتُصَفِّقِ النِّسَاءُ ". قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: قَوْلُهُ لِبِلَالٍ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ زِيَادَةٌ حَفِظَهَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، وَالزِّيَادَةُ فِي مِثْلِهِ مَقْبُولَةٌ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) says: There was fighting among Banu Amr bin Awf. The news reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he (peace and blessings be upon him) came to them after Zuhr to make peace between them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him): "If the time of Asr comes and I have not come back to you, tell Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) to lead the prayer." When the time of Asr came, Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) called the adhan, then the iqamah, then told Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and he went forward. At the end of this hadith it says: "When something happens in the prayer, the men are to say 'Subhan Allah' (Allah is free of all imperfection), and the women are to clap."
His words to Bilal in this hadith are an addition that Hammad bin Zayd preserved, and an addition in such a case is accepted. And Allah knows best.
