وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ، وَابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنِ الْأَصْبَغِ بْنِ نُبَاتَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُمْ

أَنَّ مُعَاذًا ؓ صَلَّى بِقَوْمِهِ الْفَجْرَ فَقَرَأَ بِسُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ، وَخَلْفَهُ رَجُلٌ أَعْرَابِيٌّ مَعَهُ نَاضِحٌ لَهُ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ صَلَّى الْأَعْرَابِيُّ وَتَرَكَ مُعَاذًا ؓ فَأَخْبَرُوا بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: خِفْتُ عَلَى نَاضِحِي، وَلِي عِيَالٌ [أَكْتَسِبُ] عَلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: « صَلِّ بِهِمْ صَلَاةَ أَضْعَفِهِمْ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الصَّغِيرَ وَالْكَبِيرَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ، [لَا تَكُنْ فَتَّانًا

✧ Mu'adh ؓ led his people in the dawn prayer and recited Surat al-Baqarah, and behind him was a Bedouin man who had a water-carrying camel of his. When it was the second rak'ah, the Bedouin prayed and left Mu'adh ؓ. So they informed the Prophet ﷺ about him, and he said: "I feared for my camel, and I have dependents whom I earn for." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Pray with them the prayer of the weakest of them, for among them are the young, the elderly, and the one with a need. Do not be a tempter."
