حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍعَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْكِنْدِيِّ
أَنَّهُ رَكِبَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ ثَلَاثِ خِلَالٍ: قَالَ: فَقَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَسَأَلَهُ عُمَرُ مَا أَقْدَمَكَ ؟ قَالَ: لِأَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ ثَلَاثِ خِلَالٍ: قَالَ: وَمَا هُنَّ ؟ قَالَ: رُبَّمَا كُنْتُ أَنَا وَالْمَرْأَةُ فِي بِنَاءٍ ضَيِّقٍ، فَتَحْضُرُ الصَّلَاةُ، فَإِنْ صَلَّيْتُ أَنَا وَهِيَ كَانَتْ بِحِذَائِي، وَإِنْ صَلَّتْ خَلْفِي خَرَجَتْ مِنَ الْبِنَاءِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: تَسْتُرُ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهَا بِثَوْبٍ، ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي بِحِذَائِكَ إِنْ شِئْتَ. وَعَنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَقَالَ: نَهَانِي عَنْهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ. قَالَ: وَعَنِ الْقَصَصِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ أَرَادُونِي عَلَى الْقَصَصِ فَقَالَ: مَا شِئْتَ، كَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ أَنْ يَمْنَعَهُ، قَالَ: إِنَّمَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى قَوْلِكَ قَالَ: أَخْشَى عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَقُصَّ، فَتَرْتَفِعَ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي نَفْسِكَ، ثُمَّ تَقُصَّ، فَتَرْتَفِعَ حَتَّى يُخَيَّلَ إِلَيْكَ أَنَّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الثُّرَيَّا، فَيَضَعَكَ اللهُ تَحْتَ أَقْدَامِهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِقَدْرِ ذَلِكَ.

✧ He rode to Umar b. al-Khattab to ask him about three matters. He said: He arrived in Madinah, and Umar asked him: What has brought you? He said: To ask you about three matters. He said: What are they? He said: Sometimes I and a woman are in a narrow building, and the prayer time arrives. If I pray and she is beside me, she is next to me, and if she prays behind me, she goes out of the building. Umar said: Place a cloth between you and her as a screen, then she may pray beside you if you wish. And about the two rak'ahs after 'Asr, he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade me from them. He said: And about storytelling, for they wanted me to engage in storytelling. He said: Whatever you wish, as if he disliked preventing him. He said: I only wanted to follow your instruction. He said: I fear for you that you will tell stories and rise in your own estimation over them, then tell more and rise until you imagine that you are above them like the Pleiades, and Allah will place you beneath their feet on the Day of Resurrection in proportion to that.
