حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَشْعَثُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ عَنِ الْمِنْهَالِ بْنِ خَلِيفَةَ عَنِ الأَزْرَقِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ
صَلَّى بِنَا إِمَامٌ لَنَا يُكْنَى أَبَا رِمْثَةَ، فَقَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ هَذِهِ الصَّلاَةَ، أَوْ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ الصَّلاَةِ، مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ. قَالَ: وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ يَقُومَانِ فِي الصَّفِّ الْمُقَدَّمِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ قَدْ شَهِدَ التَّكْبِيرَةَ الأُولَى مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ، فَصَلَّى نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ، حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا بَيَاضَ خَدَّيْهِ، ثُمَّ انْفَتَلَ كَانْفِتَالِ أَبِي رِمْثَةَ، يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ. فَقَامَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي أَدْرَكَ مَعَهُ التَّكْبِيرَةَ الأُولَى مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ يَشْفَعُ، فَوَثَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ، فَأَخَذَ بِمَنْكِبِهِ فَهَزَّهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: اجْلِسْ، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَهْلِكْ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ صَلَوَاتِهِمْ فَصْلٌ. فَرَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَصَرَهُ، فَقَالَ: «أَصَابَ اللَّهُ بِكَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ».

An imam of ours whose kunyah was Abu Rimthah led us in prayer. He said, “I prayed this prayer—or one like it—with the Prophet ﷺ.” He said: Abu Bakr and Umar would stand in the front row to his right. A man had been present for the opening takbir of the prayer. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ prayed, then gave the salutation to his right and his left until we could see the whiteness of his cheeks. He then turned away as Abu Rimthah had turned—meaning himself. The man who had caught the opening takbir of the prayer with him then stood to pray another two rakahs. Umar sprang toward him, seized him by the shoulder, shook him, and said, “Sit down! The People of the Book were ruined only because there was no separation between their prayers.” The Prophet ﷺ raised his gaze and said, “Allah has caused you to be right, O son of al-Khattab.”
