حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ:
شَكَا أَهْلُ الْكُوفَةِ سَعْدًا إِلَى عُمَرَ، فَقَالُوا: إِنَّهُ لَا يُحْسِنُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ، فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ: " أَمَّا أَنَا، فَإِنِّي كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي بِهِمْ صَلَاةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، صَلَاتَيِ الْعِشَاءِ لَا أَخْرِمُ مِنْهَا، أَرْكُدُ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ، وَأَحْذِفُ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: ذَاكَ الظَّنُّ بِكَ يَا أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ. وَبَعَثَ رِجَالًا يَسْأَلُونَ عَنْهُ بِالْكُوفَةِ، فَكَانُوا لَا يَأْتُونَ مَسْجِدًا مِنْ مَسَاجِدِ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ إِلَّا قَالُوا خَيْرًا أَوْ أَثْنَوْا خَيْرًا، حَتَّى أَتَى مَسْجِدًا مِنْ مَسَاجِدِ بَنِي عَبْسٍ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو سَعْدَةَ: أَمَا إِذْ نَشَدْتُمُونَا بِاللهِ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يَعْدِلُ فِي الْقَضِيَّةِ، وَلَا يَقْسِمُ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ، وَلَا يَسِيرُ بِالسَّرِيَّةِ، فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ كَاذِبًا فَأَعْمِ بَصَرَهُ، وَأَطِلْ عُمْرَهُ، وَعَرِّضْهُ لِلْفِتَنِ. قَالَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ: فَأَنَا رَأَيْتُهُ بَعْدُ يَتَعَرَّضُ لِلْإِمَاءِ فِي السِّكَكِ، فَإِذَا سُئِلَ: كَيْفَ أَنْتَ ؟ يَقُولُ: كَبِيرٌ فَقِيرٌ مَفْتُونٌ، أَصَابَتْنِي دَعْوَةُ سَعْدٍ.

✧ The people of Kufa complained about Sa'd to Umar, saying: 'He does not pray well.' Sa'd said: 'As for me, I used to lead them in the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the two evening prayers, without omitting anything from them. I would be deliberate in the first two and shorten the last two.' Umar said: 'That is what is expected of you, O Abu Ishaq.' He sent men to inquire about him in Kufa. They did not come to any mosque among the mosques of the people of Kufa but that the people spoke well of him and praised him, until they came to a mosque among the mosques of Banu Abs. There a man called Abu Sa'dah said: 'Since you have adjured us by Allah, he did not act justly in judgment, nor divide equally, nor conduct expeditions properly.' Sa'd said: 'O Allah, if he is lying, then blind his sight, prolong his life, and expose him to trials.' Abd al-Malik said: I later saw him accosting slave women in the streets. When he was asked, 'How are you?' he would say: 'Old, poor, and afflicted. The supplication of Sa'd has overtaken me.'
