قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، ثَنَا الْوَازِعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ قَالَ:

بَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ فِي غَزْوَةِ بَدْرٍ إِذْ تَبَسَّمَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، تَبَسَّمْتَ وَأَنْتَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ ؟! قَالَ ﷺ: إِنَّ مِيكَائِيلَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ مَرَّ بِي وَهُوَ رَاجِعٌ مِنْ طَلَبِ الْقَوْمِ، وَعَلَى جَنَاحِهِ غُبَارٌ: فَضَحِكَ إِلَيَّ، فَتَبَسَّمْتُ إِلَيْهِ

✧ While the Prophet ﷺ was praying Asr during the Battle of Badr, he smiled during the prayer. When he completed the prayer, they said, 'O Messenger of Allah, you smiled while you were in prayer?!' He ﷺ said, 'Indeed, Mikail (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me while returning from pursuing the people, and there was dust on his wing. He smiled at me, so I smiled back at him.'
