3. Ṣalāh (Ritual Prayer)

٣۔ كِتَابُ الصَّلَاةِ

3.402 [Machine] Whoever says that to Allah, he will count for him with whichever of His verses He wants instead of his obligation.

٣۔٤٠٢ بَابُ مَنْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ يَحْتَسِبُ لَهُ بِأَيَّتِهِمَا شَاءَ عَنْ فَرْضِهِ

bayhaqi:3649Abū Aḥmad al-Mihrajānī > Abū Bakr b. Jaʿfar al-Muzakkī > Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm al-ʿAbdī > Ibn Bukayr > Mālik > Nāfiʿ > a man Saʾal ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar

[Machine] Indeed, I pray in my house and then join the congregational prayer with the imam. Should I still pray with him? Abdullah ibn Umar said, "Yes, pray with him." The man asked, "Who should I make my prayer with?" Abdullah ibn Umar said to him, "That is up to you. That decision is in the hands of Allah the Most High, He chooses who to include in His signs."  

البيهقي:٣٦٤٩أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعَبْدِيُّ ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ثنا مَالِكٌ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ

إِنِّي أُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِي ثُمَّ أُدْرِكُ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ أَفَأُصَلِّي مَعَهُ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ نَعَمْ فَصَلِّ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَيَّتُهُمَا أَجْعَلُ صَلَاتِي فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَذَلِكَ إِلَيْكَ؟ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى اللهِ تَعَالَى يَجْعَلُ أَيَّتَهُمَا شَاءَ  

bayhaqi:3650Mālik > Yaḥyá b. Saʿīd > a man Saʾal Saʿīd b. al-Musayyib

[Machine] I pray at home and then I go to the mosque and find the Imam praying. Should I pray with him? Sa'id replied, "Yes." The man asked, "Which one should I consider my prayer?" Sa'id said, "What you do is up to you. It is for Allah to decide which of the two is accepted. The first statement is the most authentic in the narration of Abu Dharr, Yazid ibn al-Aswad, and it is also mentioned by Uthman ibn Ubaydullah ibn Abu Rafi who said, "I asked Ibn Umar about repeating the prayer. He said the first obligatory prayer, as if he had been informed of that without being informed about it, he did not cut anything in it. Allah knows best."  

البيهقي:٣٦٥٠وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ ثنا مَالِكٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ فَقَالَ

إِنِّي أُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِي ثُمَّ آتِي الْمَسْجِدَ فَأَجِدُ الْإِمَامَ يُصَلِّي أَفَأُصَلِّي مَعَهُ؟ فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ نَعَمْ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَيَّتُهُمَا أَجْعَلُ صَلَاتِي؟ فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ وَأَنْتَ تَجْعَلُهَا؟ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى اللهِ يَجْعَلُ أَيَّتَهُمَا شَاءَ وَالْقَوْلُ الْأَوَّلُ أَصَحُّ لِحَدِيثِ أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَيَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ عَنْ إِعَادَةِ الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ الْمَكْتُوبَةُ الْأُولَى فَكَأَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ مَا لَمْ يَبْلُغْهُ حِينَ لَمْ يَقْطَعْ فِيهَا بِشَيْءٍ وَاللهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ
