[Machine] Narrated to us Maymun, meaning Abu Muhammad Al-Marayi Al-Tamimi, said: Narrated to us Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from Yusuf ibn Abdullah ibn Salam, who said: I accompanied Abu Ad-Darda, to learn from him. When death approached him, he said, "Inform the people of my death, so I announced his death to the people. I came and found the house filled with people and no one else. I said, "I have informed the people of your death, and the house is filled with people and no one else." He said, "Take me out." So we took him out. He said, "Sit me down." So we sat him down. He said, "O people, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Whoever performs the ablution and perfects it, then prays two units of prayer, Allah will grant him whatever he asks for, whether swiftly or delayed.'" Abu Ad-Darda said, "O people, beware of looking around during prayer, for there is no prayer for the one who looks around. If you are defeated in voluntary prayer, do not be defeated in obligatory prayer."  

حَدَّثَنَا مَيْمُونٌ يَعْنِي أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَرَائِيَّ التَّمِيمِيَّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ قَالَ صَحِبْتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ أَتَعَلَّمُ مِنْهُ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ آذِنِ النَّاسَ بِمَوْتِي فَآذَنْتُ النَّاسَ بِمَوْتِهِ فَجِئْتُ وَقَدْ مُلِئَ الدَّارُ وَمَا سِوَاهُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ قَدْ آذَنْتُ النَّاسَ بِمَوْتِكَ وَقَدْ مُلِئَ الدَّارُ وَمَا سِوَاهُ قَالَ أَخْرِجُونِي فَأَخْرَجْنَاهُ قَالَ أَجْلِسُونِي قَالَ فَأَجْلَسْنَاهُ قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَسْبَغَ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ يُتِمُّهُمَا أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ مَا سَأَلَ مُعَجِّلًا أَوْ مُؤَخِّرًا قَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالِالْتِفَاتَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا صَلَاةَ لِمُلْتَفِتٍ فَإِنْ غُلِبْتُمْ فِي التَّطَوُّعِ فَلَا تُغْلَبُنَّ فِي الْفَرِيضَةِ
