أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ نُصَيْرٍ الْخُلْدِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَزَّازُ ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ ثنا أَشْعَثُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ ثنا الْمِنْهَالُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ عَنِ الْأَزْرَقِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ
صَلَّى بِنَا إِمَامٌ لَنَا يُكْنَى أَبَا رِمْثَةَ، قَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ أَوْ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ. قَالَ: وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ يَقُومَانِ فِي الصَّفِّ الْمُتَقَدِّمِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ قَدْ شَهِدَ التَّكْبِيرَةَ الْأُولَى مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ، فَصَلَّى نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا بَيَاضَ خَدِّهِ، ثُمَّ انْفَتَلَ كَانْفِتَالِ أَبِي رِمْثَةَ، يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ. فَقَامَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي أَدْرَكَ مَعَهُ التَّكْبِيرَةَ الْأُولَى مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ يَشْفَعُ، فَوَثَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ، فَأَخَذَ بِمَنْكِبِهِ فَهَزَّهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: اجْلِسْ، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَهْلِكْ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ صَلَاتِهِمْ فَصْلٌ. فَرَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَصَرَهُ فَقَالَ: «أَصَابَ اللَّهُ بِكَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ»

- Aḥmad b. ʿAlī al-Khazzāz

An imam of ours, whose kunyah was Abu Rimthah, led us in prayer. He said: I performed this prayer—or one like it—with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: Abu Bakr and Umar would stand in the front row to his right. A man had caught the opening takbir of the prayer. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ prayed, then gave salam to his right and his left until we could see the whiteness of his cheek. He then turned around as Abu Rimthah turned—meaning himself. The man who had caught the opening takbir of the prayer with him then stood to add another prayer. Umar sprang toward him, took him by the shoulder, shook him, and said: Sit down, for the People of the Book were only ruined because there was no separation between their prayers. The Prophet ﷺ raised his gaze and said: "Allah has guided you to what is right, O son of al-Khattab."
Notes
This is an authentic hadith according to Muslim's criterion, though neither of them included it. Ibn Main considered al-Minhal weak, Ashath has some weakness, and the hadith is objectionable.
«هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» المنهال ضعفه ابن معين وأشعث فيه لين والحديث منكر
