أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ الْفَقِيهُ ثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ ثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ الْبَجَلِيُّ ثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ قَالَ
شَهِدْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَلَمَّا أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ تَقَدَّمْتُ فَقُمْتُ فِي الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ فَخَرَجَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَشَقَّ الصُّفُوفَ ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ وَخَرَجَ مَعَهُ رَجُلٌ أَدَمٌ خَفِيفُ اللِّحْيَةِ فَنَظَرَ فِي وُجُوهِ الْقَوْمِ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي دَفَعَنِي وَقَامَ مَكَانِي وَاشْتَدَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ لَا يَسُوءُكَ وَلَا يَحْزُنْكَ أَشُقَّ عَلَيْكَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَقُومُ فِي الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ إِلَّا الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالْأَنْصَارُ» فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا؟ فَقَالُوا أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ

✧ I witnessed Madinah. When the prayer was established, I advanced and stood in the first row. Then Umar b. al-Khattab came out and split the rows, then advanced, and with him came a dark-skinned man with a light beard. He looked at the faces of the people, and when he saw me, he pushed me and stood in my place. That distressed me greatly. When he finished, he turned to me and said: Do not let it grieve you or sadden you. Would it be hard for you that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "None stands in the first row except the Muhajirun and the Ansar"? So I said: Who is this? They said: Ubay b. Ka'b.
