وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا عَطَّافُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ قَالَ:
كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ، فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلَانِ: أَنْصَارِيٌّ، وَثَقَفِيٌّ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ الثَّقَفِيُّ: أَخْبِرْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَمَّا جِئْتُ أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْهُ، قَالَ ﷺ: « جِئْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ »، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، قَالَ ﷺ: « ثُمَّ إِذَا قُمْتَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَاقْرَأْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، ثُمَّ إِذَا رَكَعْتَ فَأَمْكِنْ يَدَيْكَ مِنْ رُكْبَتَيْكَ، وَافْرُقْ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِكَ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ رَاكِعًا، ثُمَّ إِذَا سَجَدْتَ فَمَكِّنْ وَجْهَكَ مِنَ السُّجُودِ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ سَاجِدًا، وَصَلِّ مِنْ أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ وَآخِرِهِ ». قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتُكَ إِنْ صَلَّيْتُ اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: فَإِنَّكَ إِذًا أَنْتَ

✧ I was sitting with the Messenger of God ﷺ in the mosque of al-Khayf, and two men came to him: an Ansari and a Thaqafi. Then he mentioned the hadith. He said: The Thaqafi said: Tell me, O Messenger of God, about what I have come to ask you. He ﷺ said: 'You have come to ask me about the prayer.' Then he mentioned the hadith. He ﷺ said: 'Then when you stand for prayer, recite what is easy of the Quran. Then when you bow, place your hands firmly on your knees and spread your fingers until you are at rest bowing. Then when you prostrate, place your face firmly in prostration until you are at rest prostrating. And pray at the beginning of the night and at its end.' He said: What do you think if I pray the entire night? He ﷺ said: 'Then indeed you will...'
