أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ
انْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصْلِحُ بَيْنَ بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَجَاءَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَجْمَعَ النَّاسَ وَيَؤُمَّهُمْ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَرَقَ الصُّفُوفَ حَتَّى قَامَ فِي الْمُقَدَّمِ وَصَفَّحَ النَّاسُ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ لِيُؤْذِنُوهُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لَا يَلْتَفِتُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرُوا عِلْمَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ نَابَهُمْ شَيْءٌ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ فَالْتَفَتَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَيْ كَمَا أَنْتَ فَرَفَعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَدَهُ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ الْقَهْقَرَى وَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ «مَا مَنَعَكَ إِذَا أَوْمَأْتُ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ» قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَا كَانَ يَنْبَغِي لِابْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَنْ يَؤُمَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلنَّاسِ «مَا بَالُكُمْ صَفَّحْتُمْ إِنَّمَا التَّصْفِيحُ لِلنِّسَاءِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِذَا نَابَكُمْ شَيْءٌ فِي صَلَاتِكُمْ فَسَبَّحُوا»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to reconcile between Banu ʿAmr b. ʿAwf. The prayer time arrived, so the muʾadhdhin came to Abu Bakr and ordered him to gather the people and lead them. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and passed through the rows until he stood in the front. The people clapped to alert Abu Bakr about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Abu Bakr did not turn around during the prayer, but when they did it repeatedly he knew that something had happened to them in their prayer, so he turned around and saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured to him, meaning: stay as you are. Abu Bakr raised his hands and praised Allah and extolled Him because of the Messenger of Allah’s ﷺ instruction. Then he stepped backward, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came forward and prayed. When he finished, he said to Abu Bakr: “What prevented you, when I gestured to you, from praying?” Abu Bakr said: It was not fitting for the son of Abu Quhafah to lead the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then he said to the people: “Why did you clap? Clapping is only for women.” Then he said: “If something happens to you during your prayer, say subhan Allah.”
