[Machine] Abu Al-Muwajjah narrated to Anban, who narrated from Abdullah, who narrated from Abdullah bin Al-Rahman Al-Mas'oodi, who informed me that Abu Sinan narrated from Ubaidullah bin Abi Raafie, who narrated from Ali bin Abi Talib, that he was asked about the saying of Allah, "Those who are humble in their prayers" [Quran 23:2]. He said: humility in the heart and softening your shoulder for the Muslim person, and not looking around during your prayer.  

ثنا أَبُو الْمُوَجِّهِ أنبأ عَبْدَانُ أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ أنبأ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَسْعُودِيُّ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سِنَانٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللهِ ﷻ {الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ} [المؤمنون 2] قَالَ الْخُشُوعُ فِي الْقَلْبِ وَأَنْ تُلِينَ كَتِفَكَ لِلْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ وَأَنْ لَا تَلْتَفِتَ فِي صَلَاتِكَ  

[Machine] We were taking care of the camels, and it was my turn, so I watered them in the evening. I then saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ standing and speaking to the people. From his words, I understood that no Muslim performs ablution and perfects it, then stands and prays two units of prayer, after which he supplicates to them with his heart and face, except that Paradise becomes obligatory for him. So I said, "How generous this is!" Then someone standing in front of me said, "The one before it is more generous." So I looked, and there was Umar ibn al-Khattab. He said, "Indeed, I saw you come early." I said, "None of you performs ablution and then says, 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger,' except that the eight doors of Paradise are opened for him, and he may enter from whichever of them he wishes."  

كَانَتْ عَلَيْنَا رِعَايَةُ الْإِبِلِ فَحَانَتْ نَوْبَتِي فَرَوَّحْتُهَا بِعَشِيٍّ فَأَدْرَكْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَائِمًا يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ فَأَدْرَكْتُ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ يُقْبِلُ عَلَيْهِمَا بِقَلْبِهِ وَوَجْهِهِ إِلَّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ فَقُلْتُ مَا أَجْوَدَ هَذِهِ فَإِذَا قَائِلٌ بَيْنَ يَدِيَّ يَقُولُ الَّتِي قَبْلَهَا أَجْوَدُ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ قَالَ إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُكَ جِئْتَ آنِفًا قَالَ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ إِلَّا فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةُ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ  

[Machine] We saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while we were raising our hands in prayer and he said, "Stay calm in the prayer."  

رَآنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ رَافِعِي أَيْدِينَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ اسْكُنُوا فِي الصَّلَاةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon us while we were raising our hands in prayer and he said, "Why do I see you raising your hands as if they are the tails of galloping horses? Calm down in your prayer."  

دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ رَافِعِي أَيْدِينَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ مَا لِيَ أَرَاكُمْ رَافِعِي أَيْدِيكُمْ كَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ خَيْلٍ شُمْسٍ اسْكُنُوا فِي الصَّلَاةِ  

[Machine] "He said, 'Recite calmly during prayer, meaning, dwell in it.'"  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَارُّوا فِي الصَّلَاةِ يَعْنِي اسْكُنُوا فِيهَا  

[Machine] Abdullah bin Mas'ud said, "Recite properly during the prayer."  

قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَارُّوا فِي الصَّلَاةِ  

[Machine] The stillness is in it.  

السُّكُونُ فِيهَا  

[Machine] "Those who are humbly submissive in their prayers." [Al-Mu'minun 2] It was said by Kha'ifun 3526, and with its chain from Qatadah regarding his statement, "Those who are humbly submissive in their prayers" [Al-Mu'minun 2]. It was said that khushu' (humility) is in the heart and lowering of the gaze during prayer."  

{ الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ } [المؤمنون 2] قَالَ خَائِفُونَ 3526 وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ فِي قَوْلِهِ {الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ} [المؤمنون 2] قَالَ الْخُشُوعُ فِي الْقَلْبِ وَإِلْبَادُ الْبَصَرِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ  

[Machine] Did you see me diminish its boundaries in any way? I hastily acted upon it due to the instigation of the devil. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying that a person may pray a prayer, but he has only a tenth of it, or a ninth of it, or an eighth of it, or a seventh of it, or a sixth of it, or a fifth of it, or a quarter of it, or a third of it, or half of it, like so.  

هَلْ رَأَيْتَنِي انْتَقَصْتُ مِنْ حُدُودِهَا شَيْئًا؟ إِنِّي بَادَرْتُ بِهَا سَهْوَةَ الشَّيْطَانِ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لِيُصَلِّي الصَّلَاةَ مَا لَهُ مِنْهَا إِلَّا عُشْرُهَا تُسْعُهَا ثُمْنُهَا سُبُعُهَا سُدْسُهَا خُمُسُهَا رُبُعُهَا ثُلُثُهَا نِصْفُهَا هَكَذَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade provoking or inciting a man during his prayer.  

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَسْتَوْفِزَ الرَّجُلُ فِي صَلَاتِهِ
