وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ، ثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ؓ
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي لِلنَّاسِ هَا هُنَا، فَكَانَ أُنَاسٌ يَضَعُونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ، وَيَرْفَعُونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لِمَ تَأْثَمُونَ وَتُأَثِّمُونَ ؟ صَلَّيْتُ لَكُمْ صَلَاةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَا أَخْرِمُ عَنْهَا

✧ He used to lead the people in prayer here, and some people would place their heads before he placed his head, and raise their heads before he raised his head. When he finished, he turned to them and said: 'O people, why do you sin and cause others to sin? I prayed for you the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I did not deviate from it.'
