ahmad:12615Ḥusayn b. Muḥammad > Khalaf > Ḥafṣ > Anas b. Mālik

[Machine] He said, "Let us go to Sham to meet Abdul Malik, and we are forty men from the Ansar, to impose on us." So when he returned and we were at the Fajj Al-Naqah, he prayed Dhuhr with us two Rak'ahs, then he gave Salam and entered his tent. The people stood up and offered two more Rak'ahs in addition to his two Rak'ahs. He said, "May Allah brighten their faces. By Allah, the Sunnah never goes astray and the permission is never accepted. I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Indeed, there are people who delve deep into the religion as the arrow goes through the prey.'"  

أحمد:١٢٦١٥حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفٌ عَنْ حَفْصٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ انْطُلِقَ بِنَا إِلَى الشَّامِ إِلَى عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ وَنَحْنُ أَرْبَعُونَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لِيَفْرِضَ لَنَا فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ وَكُنَّا بِفَجِّ النَّاقَةِ صَلَّى بِنَا الظُّهْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَدَخَلَ فُسْطَاطَهُ وَقَامَ الْقَوْمُ يُضِيفُونَ إِلَى رَكْعَتَيْهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ أُخْرَيَيْنِ قَالَ فَقَالَ قَبَّحَ اللهُ الْوُجُوهَ فَوَاللهِ مَا أَصَابَتِ السُّنَّةَ وَلَا قَبِلَتِ الرُّخْصَةَ فَأَشْهَدُ لَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أَقْوَامًايَتَعَمَّقُونَ فِي الدِّينِ يَمْرُقُونَ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ
