أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَامِدِ بْنُ بِلَالٍ، ثنا أَبُو الْأَزْهَرِ قَالَ: ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، ثنا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى فِي مَرَضِهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ وَخَلْفَهُ قِيَامٌ، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنِ اجْلِسُوا، فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ: " إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ، فَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ فَارْفَعُوا، وَإِذَا صَلَّى جَالِسًا فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا " رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ.
The Mother of the Believers Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that during the days of his illness the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed sitting, and the Companions prayed behind him standing, so he gestured to them to sit. When he had finished the prayer, he said: "The imam is appointed only to be followed. When he bows, you bow; when he raises his head from bowing, you raise your heads; and when he leads the prayer sitting, you pray sitting."
عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ حَمَّادٌ: عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ: " فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِيَدِهِ أَنِ اجْلِسُوا " أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ نُجَيْدٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، أنبأ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، ثنا حَمَّادٌ، فَذَكَرَهُ رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ، وَرَوَيَاهُ فِي حَدِيثِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ فِي هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ قَالَ: " فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا فَرَآنَا قِيَامًا فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْنَا ".

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو نَصْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ثنا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ثنا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: اشْتَكَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَلَّيْنَا وَرَاءَهُ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يُكَبِّرُ يُسْمِعُ النَّاسَ تَكْبِيرَهُ قَالَ: فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا فَرَآنَا قِيَامًا، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْنَا " وَذَكَرَ بَاقِي الْحَدِيثِ.
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was ill, we prayed behind him while he was sitting. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was saying the takbir after him, behind him, in order to convey his takbir to the people. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards us, and on seeing us standing, he gestured to us to sit.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، وَعَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَزْهَرَ، وَالْمِسْوَرَ بْنَ مَخْرَمَةَ أَرْسَلُوهُ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ وَأَنَّهُمْ رَدُّوهُ إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَى عَنْهَا ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُهُ يُصَلِّيهِمَا، أَمَّا حِينَ صَلَّاهُمَا فَإِنَّهُ صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ وَعِنْدِي نِسْوَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي حَرَامٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ⦗٣٧١⦘ فَصَلَّاهُمَا فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ الْجَارِيَةُ فَقُلْتُ: قَوْمِي لِجَنْبِهِ فَقُولِي لَهُ: تَقُولُ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَسْمَعُكَ تَنْهَى عَنْ هَاتَيْنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَرَاكَ تُصَلِّيهِمَا فَإِنْ أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ فَاسْتَأْخِرِي عَنْهُ، قَالَتْ: فَفَعَلْتِ الْجَارِيَةُ، فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ فَاسْتَأْخَرَتْ عَنْهُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ: " يَا بِنْتَ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ سَأَلْتِ عَنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ، إِنَّهُ أَتَانَا أُنَاسٌ مِنْ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ بِالْإِسْلَامِ مِنْ قَوْمِهِمْ فَشَغَلُونِي عَنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ فَهُمَا هَاتَانِ " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ، عَنْ حَرْمَلَةَ كِلَاهُمَا، عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ.
It is narrated from Kurayb, the freed slave of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), that Abdullah bin Abbas, Abd al-Rahman bin Azhar and al-Miswar bin Makhramah (may Allah be pleased with them) sent him to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), the honoured wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and she said: Then he mentioned the complete hadith about the two rak'ahs after Asr, and said: They sent me on to Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her). So Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbidding these two rak'ahs after the Asr prayer, but I also saw him (peace and blessings be upon him) praying these two rak'ahs. He (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed Asr and came to me, and at that time some women of Banu Haram from the Ansar were sitting with me. He (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed these two rak'ahs, so I sent a girl to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and told her to stand at his side (peace and blessings be upon him), and I said: Tell him that Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) is saying: O Messenger of Allah! I heard you forbidding these two rak'ahs, and now I see you praying them? If he (peace and blessings be upon him) gestures, then step back. The girl did so, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his hand, so she moved away from him (peace and blessings be upon him). When he (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer, he said: "O daughter of Abu Umayyah! You asked about praying two rak'ahs after the Asr prayer. That is because people of the tribe of Abd al-Qays came to me; they told me about the Islam of their people, and they kept me busy from the two rak'ahs after Zuhr. These two rak'ahs are those."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ دَاوُدَ الْعَلَوِيُّ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْأَزْهَرِ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ثنا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُشِيرُ فِي صَلَاةٍ بِيَدِهِ ".
Nafi' narrates from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to gesture with his hand during the prayer.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي دَاوُدَ، ثنا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، وَخُشَيْشُ بْنُ أَصْرَمَ، قَالُوا: أنبأ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أنبأ مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " كَانَ يُشِيرُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ ".

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ الْمُنْذِرِ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: أَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَإِذَا النَّاسُ قِيَامٌ يُصَلُّونَ وَإِذَا هِيَ قَائِمَةٌ، قَالَتْ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا لِلنَّاسِ؟ فَأَشَارَتْ بِيَدِهَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، وَقَالَتْ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ: آيَةٌ؟ فَأَشَارَتْ أَنْ نَعَمْ " وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، وَأَخْرَجَهُ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ هِشَامٍ.
Sayyidah Asma' bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: When the sun was eclipsed, I came to the Mother of the Believers Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), the honoured wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The people were praying, and she too was standing (in prayer). I said: "What is the matter with the people?" She pointed with her hand towards the sky and said 'Subhan Allah' (Glory be to Allah). I asked: "Is it a sign?" She indicated with a gesture: "Yes."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي دَاوُدَ وَهُوَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي دَاوُدَ السِّجِسْتَانِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ الْأَخْنَسِ، عَنْ أَبِي غَطَفَانَ الْمُرِّيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " التَّسْبِيحُ لِلرِّجَالِ وَالتَّصْفِيقُ لِلنِّسْوَانِ، وَمَنْ أَشَارَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ إِشَارَةً تُفْهَمُ عَنْهُ فَلْيُعِدْهَا " قَالَ عَلِيٌّ: قَالَ لَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي دَاوُدَ: أَبُو غَطَفَانَ: هَذَا رَجُلٌ مَجْهُولٌ وَآخِرُ الْحَدِيثِ زِيَادَةٌ ⦗٣٧٢⦘ فِي الْحَدِيثِ فَلَعَلَّهُ مِنْ قَوْلِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، وَالصَّحِيحُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُشِيرُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ رَوَاهُ أَنَسٌ وَجَابِرٌ وَغَيْرُهُمَا، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ: وَرَوَاهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَعَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "For men in the prayer is saying 'Subhan Allah' (Glory be to Allah), and for women is clapping. Whoever makes a gesture in the prayer that conveys a meaning, the one who gestured should repeat the prayer."
Abu Ghatafan is an unknown (majhul) man, and the end of the hadith is an addition to the hadith; perhaps it is from the words of Ibn Ishaq.
