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.'

  • الزيلعى

    وسكت الدارقطني عنه والوازع بن نافع ضعيف جدا

    machine translationAl-Dāraquṭnī remained silent about it, and al-Wāziʿ b. Nāfiʿ is very weak (ḍaʿīf jiddan).

    in المطالب العالية, p. 608
  • ابن عدي

    عامة ما يرويه وازع عن شيوخه بالأسانيد التي يرويها غير محفوظة

    machine translationMost of what Wāziʿ narrates from his teachers with the chains of transmission he narrates is not preserved (ghayr maḥfūẓ).

    in المطالب العالية, p. 608
  • M. ibn Ḥibbān al-Bustī

    ورواه ابن حبان في كتاب الضعفاء وأعله بالوازع وقال إنه كثير الوهم فيبطل الاحتجاج به

    machine translationIbn Ḥibbān narrated it in the Book of the Weak Narrators (al-Ḍuʿafāʾ) and found it defective because of al-Wāziʿ, and said that he commits many errors (kathīr al-wahm), so relying on him as evidence is invalid.
