حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْمُرَادِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ،
أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَبْدٍ الْقَارِيَّ، وَكَانَ فِي عَهْدِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْأَرْقَمِ عَلَى بَيْتِ الْمَالِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ خَرَجَ لَيْلَةً فِي رَمَضَانَ فَخَرَجَ مَعَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدٍ الْقَارِيُّ، فَطَافَ بِالْمَسْجِدِ وَأَهْلُ الْمَسْجِدِ أَوْزَاعٌ مُتَفَرِّقُونَ، يُصَلِّي الرَّجُلُ لِنَفْسِهِ، وَيُصَلِّي الرَّجُلُ فَيُصَلِّي بِصَلَاتِهِ الرَّهْطُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَظُنُّ لَوْ جَمَعْنَا هَؤُلَاءِ عَلَى قَارِئٍ وَاحِدٍ لَكَانَ أَمْثَلَ، ثُمَّ عَزَمَ عُمَرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، وَأَمَرَ أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ أَنْ يَقُومَ لَهُمْ فِي رَمَضَانَ، فَخَرَجَ عُمَرُ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَالنَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلَاةِ قَارِئِهِمْ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: نِعْمَ الْبِدْعَةُ هِيَ، وَالَّتِي تَنَامُونَ عَنْهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الَّتِي تَقُومُونَ - يُرِيدُ آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ - فَكَانَ النَّاسُ يَقُومُونَ أَوَّلَهُ، وَكَانُوا يَلْعَنُونَ الْكَفَرَةَ فِي النِّصْفِ: اللَّهُمَّ قَاتِلِ الْكَفَرَةَ الَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَنْ سَبِيلِكَ وَيُكَذِّبُونَ رُسُلَكَ، وَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِوَعْدِكَ، وَخَالِفْ بَيْنَ كَلِمَتِهِمْ، وَأَلْقِ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الرُّعْبَ، وَأَلْقِ عَلَيْهِمْ رِجْزَكَ وَعَذَابَكَ، إِلَهَ الْحَقِّ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، وَيَدْعُو لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ بِمَا اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ، ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ: وَكَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ لَعْنَةِ الْكَفَرَةِ، وَصَلَاتِهِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ، وَاسْتِغْفَارِهِ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ، وَمَسْأَلَتِهِ: اللَّهُمَّ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ، وَلَكَ نُصَلِّي وَنَسْجُدُ، وَإِلَيْكَ نَسْعَى وَنَحْفِدُ، وَنَرْجُو رَحْمَتَكَ رَبَّنَا، وَنَخَافُ عَذَابَكَ الْجِدَّ، إِنَّ عَذَابَكَ لِمَنْ عَادَيْتَ مُلْحِقٌ، ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ وَيَهْوِي سَاجِدًا

✧ Abd al-Rahman b. Abd al-Qari, who was in charge of the treasury with Abdullah b. al-Arqam during the time of Umar b. al-Khattab, reported that Umar went out one night in Ramadan accompanied by Abd al-Rahman b. Abd al-Qari. He toured the mosque, and the people in the mosque were scattered in separate groups: a man praying alone, and a man praying with a small group following his prayer. Umar said: By Allah, I think if we gathered these people behind one reciter, it would be better. Then Umar resolved to do that and ordered Ubayy b. Ka'b to lead them in prayer during Ramadan. Umar came out to them while the people were praying behind their reciter, and he said: This is an excellent innovation, and the one you sleep through is better than the one you stand for—meaning the last part of the night. The people used to stand in the first part of the night, and they used to curse the disbelievers in the middle: O Allah, fight the disbelievers who obstruct Your path, deny Your messengers, and do not believe in Your promise. Divide their unity, cast terror into their hearts, and send upon them Your punishment and torment, O God of Truth. Then he would send blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ and supplicate for the Muslims with whatever good he could, then he would seek forgiveness for the believers. He said: When he finished cursing the disbelievers, sending blessings upon the Prophet, seeking forgiveness for the believing men and women, and making his requests, he would say: O Allah, You alone we worship, and to You we pray and prostrate, and to You we strive and hasten. We hope for Your mercy, our Lord, and fear Your severe punishment. Indeed, Your punishment will overtake those whom You oppose. Then he would say the takbir and go down into prostration.
