وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبَصْرِيُّ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ - عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ؓ قَالَ:
« إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا انْتَهَى [إِلَى] عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ؓ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ أَرَادَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنْ يَتَأَخَّرَ، فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَنْ مَكَانَكَ»، فَصَلَّى وَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِصَلَاةِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ؓ
