63- بَابُ مَنْ شَكَا إِمَامَهُ إِذَا طَوَّلَ:

English narration

Narrated by محارب بن دثار السدوسي

Once a man was driving two Nadihas (camels used for agricultural purposes) and night had fallen. He found Mu`adh praying so he made his camel kneel and joined Mu`adh in the prayer. The latter recited Surat 'Al-Baqara" or Surat "An-Nisa", (so) the man left the prayer and went away. When he came to know that Mu`adh had criticized him, he went to the Prophet, and complained against Mu`adh. The Prophet said thrice, "O Mu`adh ! Are you putting the people to trial?" It would have been better if you had recited "Sabbih Isma Rabbika-l-A`la (87)", Wash-shamsi wa duhaha (91)", or "Wal-laili idha yaghsha (92)", for the old, the weak and the needy pray behind you." Jabir said that Mu`adh recited Sura Al-Baqara in the `Isha' prayer.

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَارِبُ بْنُ دِثَارٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ ، قَالَ : أَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ بِنَاضِحَيْنِ وَقَدْ جَنَحَ اللَّيْلُ ، فَوَافَقَ مُعَاذًا يُصَلِّي ، فَتَرَكَ نَاضِحَهُ وَأَقْبَلَ إِلَى مُعَاذٍ فَقَرَأَ بِسُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ أَوْ النِّسَاءِ ، فَانْطَلَقَ الرَّجُلُ وَبَلَغَهُ أَنَّ مُعَاذًا نَالَ مِنْهُ ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ مُعَاذًا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

يَا مُعَاذُ ، أَفَتَّانٌ أَنْتَ أَوْ أَفَاتِنٌ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ ، فَلَوْلَا صَلَّيْتَ بِسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى فَإِنَّهُ يُصَلِّي وَرَاءَكَ الْكَبِيرُ وَالضَّعِيفُ وَذُو الْحَاجَةِ أَحْسِبُ هَذَا فِي الْحَدِيثِ

" ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد اللَّهِ : وَتَابَعَهُ سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَسْرُوقٍ ، وَمِسْعَرٌ ، وَالشَّيْبَانِيُّ ، قَالَ : عَمْرٌو ، وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مِقْسَمٍ ، وَأَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَرَأَ مُعَاذٌ فِي الْعِشَاءِ بِالْبَقَرَةِ ، وَتَابَعَهُ الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ مُحَارِبٍ .
