Bayhaqi 5857 — Behind whom the Friday prayer may be offered: a ruler

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا ابْنُ عُثْمَانَ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ، أنبأ حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مُلَيْلٍ السَّلِيحِيُّ إِلَى قُضَاعَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ جَالِسًا قَرِيبًا مِنَ الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، فَخَرَجَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ، فَاسْتَوَى عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، فَخَطَبَ ⦗٣١٩⦘ النَّاسَ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُورَةً مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَقْرإِ النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ: صَدَقَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " لَيَقْرَأَنَّ الْقُرْآنَ رِجَالٌ لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ، يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ "، فَسَمِعَهَا ابْنُ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ، فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ لَئِنْ كُنْتَ صَادِقًا وَإِنَّكَ مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكَذُوبٌ إِنَّكَ مِنْهُمْ. قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ: حَمَلَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ أَنَّهُمْ يَجْمَعُونَ مَعَهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ لَهُمْ هَذِهِ الْمَقَالَةَ.
Abdul Aziz bin Abdul Malik narrates from his father, who said: I was sitting with Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) near the pulpit on Friday. Muhammad bin Abi Hudhayfah came out and took his place on the pulpit, addressed the people with a sermon and recited a surah of the Qur'an to them; he was among the best reciters of the Qur'an among the people. Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke the truth, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "People will recite the Qur'an, but it will not go beyond their throats, and they will pass out of the religion just as an arrow passes through the game." Ibn Abi Hudhayfah heard this and said: By Allah, if you are truthful, and as far as I know you are a great liar, then you are surely one of them.
Abdullah bin al-Mubarak (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This hadith is understood to mean that they used to pray the Friday prayer with them and say these words to them.
