أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ قَالَ
أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ شَبَبَةٌ مُتَقَارِبُونَ فَأَقَمْنَا عِنْدَهُ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً فَظَنَّ أَنَّا قَدِ اشْتَقْنَا إِلَى أَهْلِينَا سَأَلَنَا عَمَّنْ تَرَكْنَا فِي أَهْلِنَا فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَحِيمًا رَفِيقًا فَقَالَ «ارْجِعُوا إِلَى أَهْلِيكُمْ فَعَلِّمُوهُمْ وَمُرُوهُمْ وَصَلُّوا كَمَا رَأَيْتُمُونِي أُصَلِّي فَإِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَلْيُؤَذِّنْ أَحَدُكُمْ وَلْيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَكْبَرُكُمْ»

✧ We came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while we were young men of similar age. We stayed with him for twenty nights. He thought that we missed our families, so he asked us about those we left behind. We told him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was merciful and gentle, so he said, 'Return to your families, teach them, instruct them, and pray as you have seen me pray. When the time for prayer comes, let one of you give the adhan and let the older of you lead you in prayer.'
