أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ حَدِيثِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ أَنَّ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ
أَنَّهُ غَزَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غَزْوَةَ تَبُوكَ، قَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ: فَأَقْبَلْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى نَجِدَ النَّاسَ قَدْ قَدَّمُوا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ، فَصَلَّى لَهُمْ، فَأَدْرَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِحْدَى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ، فَصَلَّى مَعَ النَّاسِ الرَّكْعَةَ الْأَخِيرَةَ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُتِمُّ صَلَاتَهُ، فَأَفْزَعَ ذَلِكَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَأَكْثَرُوا التَّسْبِيحَ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ صَلَاتَهُ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " أَحْسَنْتُمْ " - أَوْ قَالَ: " أَصَبْتُمْ " - يَغْبِطُهُمْ أَنْ صَلَّوُا الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا

✧ He went on a military expedition with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the expedition of Tabuk. Al-Mughirah said: I came with him until we found that the people had put 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf forward, and he led them in prayer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ caught up with one of the two rak'ahs, so he prayed the final rak'ah with the people. When 'Abd al-Rahman gave the salutation, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to complete his prayer. That alarmed the Muslims, and they greatly glorified Allah. When the Prophet ﷺ finished his prayer, he turned to them and said: "You have done well" or "You have been correct," commending them for praying the prayer at its time.
