[Machine] "We performed Hajj with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , the Farewell Hajj. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the Fajr prayer, then turned around to face the people. Suddenly, he noticed two men behind the crowd who did not pray with the rest of the people. He asked for those two men to be brought to him. They came trembling, their beards wet with sweat. The Prophet ﷺ asked them, 'What prevented you from praying with the people?' They replied, 'O Messenger of Allah, we have already prayed when we were on our journey.' He said, 'Do not do that if any of you prays during his journey and then catches up with the Imam, let him join the prayer with him, for it will be a voluntary prayer for him.' One of them said, 'Ask forgiveness for me, O Messenger of Allah,' and the Prophet ﷺ asked for his forgiveness. Then, the people began to get up to approach the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and I also got up and, at that time, I was the most youthful and energetic among the men. I continued to move through the crowd until I reached the Prophet ﷺ and held his hand, placing it on my face or chest. I have never felt anything more pleasant or cooler than the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . And he was then in the Mosque of Al-Khayf."  

أحمد:١٧٤٧٦حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

حَجَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَجَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ قَالَ فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ أَوِ الْفَجْرِ قَالَ ثُمَّ انْحَرَفَ جَالِسًا وَاسْتَقْبَلَ النَّاسَ بِوَجْهِهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ النَّاسِ لَمْ يُصَلِّيَا مَعَ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ ائْتُونِي بِهَذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ بِهِمَا تَرْعَدُ فَرَائِصُهُمَا فَقَالَ مَا مَنَعَكُمَا أَنْ تُصَلِّيَا مَعَ النَّاسِ؟ قَالَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا قَدْ صَلَّيْنَا فِي الرِّحَالِ قَالَ فَلَا تَفْعَلَا إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فِي رَحْلِهِ ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ فَلْيُصَلِّهَا مَعَهُ فَإِنَّهَا لَهُ نَافِلَةٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ قَالَ وَنَهَضَ النَّاسُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَهَضْتُ مَعَهُمْ وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ أَشَبُّ الرِّجَالِ وَأَجْلَدُهُ قَالَ فَمَا زِلْتُ أَزْحَمُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى وَصَلْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ فَوَضَعْتُهَا إِمَّا عَلَى وَجْهِي أَوْ صَدْرِي قَالَ فَمَا وَجَدْتُ شَيْئًا أَطْيَبَ وَلَا أَبْرَدَ مِنْ يَدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ

[Machine] "I prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the morning in the Mosque of al-Khayf in Mina. When he finished, he faced the people and saw two men in the back of the crowd who did not pray with the people. He said, 'Bring these two men to me.' They were brought to him trembling. He asked them, 'What prevented you from praying with the people?' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we had already prayed in our tents.' He said, 'Do not do so when one of you has prayed in his tent and then catches the congregational prayer. He should pray it with them, for it will be a voluntary prayer for him.'"

صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْغَدَاةَ بِمِنًى فِي مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ اسْتَقْبَلَ النَّاسَ بِوَجْهِهِ فَإِذَا هُو بِرَجُلَيْنِ فِي أُخْرَيَاتِ النَّاسِ لَمْ يُصَلِّيَا مَعَ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ ائْتُونِي بِهَذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ فَأُتِيَ بِهِمَا تَرْعَدُ فَرَائِصُهُمَا فَقَالَ مَا مَنَعَكُمَا أَنْ تُصَلِّيَا مَعَ النَّاسِ قَالَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَد كُنَّا صَلَّيْنَا فِي الرِّحَالِ قَالَ لَا تَفْعَلَا إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فِي رَحْلِهِ وَأَدْرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَ النَّاسِ فَلْيُصَلِّهَا مَعَهُمْ فَإِنَّهَا لَه نَافِلَةٌ
