[Machine] On the authority of Sahl ibn Sa'd al-Sa'idi, who was one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "An incident occurred between the tribes of Aws and Khazraj, where they exchanged some harsh words. The news reached the Prophet ﷺ , so he went to them and found himself restricted. Bilal then called the Adhan (the Islamic call to prayer), and the Prophet ﷺ was still restricted. When he was restricted, he proceeded to establish the prayer. Abu Bakr went forward to lead the people in prayer, and the Prophet ﷺ came from his confinement. People made space for him until he reached the row behind Abu Bakr. The people clapped, but Abu Bakr did not turn during the prayer. When Abu Bakr heard the applause, he turned and saw the Prophet ﷺ making a gesture to him to stay where he was. Abu Bakr raised his head towards the sky and the Quraysh turned their heels. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ advanced and led the prayer with them. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished the prayer, he said to Abu Bakr, 'What prevented you from staying in your place?' Abu Bakr replied, 'Would Allah permit Ibn Abi Quhafa (referring to himself) to be standing in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'What was the matter with you when you clapped during your prayer? Clapping is for women. If something happens to one of you in your prayer, say 'Subhan Allah' (glory be to Allah)."  

عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ وَهُوَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَقُولُ وَقَعَ بَيْنَ الْأَوْسِ وَالْخَزْرَجِ كَلَامٌ فَتَنَاوَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا وَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأُخْبِرَ فَأَتَاهُمْ فَاحْتُبِسَ فَأَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ وَاحْتُبِسَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا احْتُبِسَ أَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ فَتَقَدَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَؤُمُّ النَّاسَ وَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ مُحْتَبَسِهِ ذَاكَ قَالَ فَتَخَلَّلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى الصَّفِّ الَّذِي يَلِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَصَفَّقَ النَّاسُ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لَا يَلْتَفِتُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ التَّصْفِيقَ الْتَفَتَ فَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنِ اثْبُتْ مَكَانَكَ فَرَفَعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَنَكَصَ الْقَهْقَرَى وَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَثْبُتَ؟ قَالَ مَا كَانَ اللهُ لِيَرَى ابْنَ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَالُكُمْ حِينَ نَابَكُمْ شَيْءٌ فِي صَلَاتِكُمْ صَفَّقْتُمْ؟ إِنَّمَا هَذَا لِلنِّسَاءِ مَنْ نَابَهُ شَيْءٌ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلْيَقُلْ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ  

[Machine] And when he passed between the two rows, he would stand up. If he saw any flaw, he would say "Stand straight until there is no flaw in you." Then he would proceed and say the takbir. It is possible that he would recite Surah Yusuf or Surah An-Nahl or something similar in the first raka'ah until the people gathered. He would say, "It is just that I made the takbir." I heard him say, "The dog has killed me or the dog has eaten me when he was stabbed." Then the fever flew off with a double-edged dagger that did not pass by anyone on the right or left except that it stabbed him until it stabbed thirteen men and nine of them died. When a Muslim man saw that, he threw him a cloak. When the fever thought that he had been caught, he stabbed himself and said, "Umar handle this." So Umar came forward and said, "Who will succeed Umar?" He had seen what he had seen. As for the vicinity of the mosque, they did not know anything except that they had lost the voice of Umar when they were saying, "Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah." So Abdullah bin Awf led them in a light prayer and mentioned the hadith.  

وَكَانَ إِذَا مَرَّ بَيْنَ الصَّفَّيْنِ قَامَ فَإِنْ رَأَى خَلَلًا قَالَ اسْتَوُوا حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يَرَ فِيهِمْ خَلَلًا تَقَدَّمَ فَكَبَّرَ قَالَ وَرُبَّمَا قَرَأَ بِسُورَةِ يُوسُفَ أَوِ النَّحْلِ أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى حَتَّى يَجْتَمِعَ النَّاسُ قَالَ فَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ كَبَّرَ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ قَتَلَنِي الْكَلْبُ أَوْ أَكَلَنِي الْكَلْبُ حِينَ طَعَنَهُ فَطَارَ الْعِلْجُ بِالسِّكِّينِ ذَاتِ طَرَفَيْنِ لَا يَمُرُّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ يَمِينًا وَلَا شِمَالًا إِلَّا طَعَنَهُ حَتَّى طَعَنَ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا فَمَاتَ مِنْهُمْ تِسْعَةٌ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ طَرَحَ عَلَيْهِ بُرْنُسًا فَلَمَّا ظَنَّ الْعِلْجُ أَنَّهُ مَأْخُوذٌ نَحَرَ نَفْسَهُ قَالَ وَتَنَاوَلَ عُمَرُ يَدَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ فَقَدَّمَهُ قَالَ فَمَنْ يَلِي عُمَرَ ؓ فَقَدْ رَأَى الَّذِي رَأَى وَأَمَّا نَوَاحِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَدْرُونَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ فَقَدُوا صَوْتَ عُمَرَ ؓ وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ قَالَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ صَلَاةً خَفِيفَةً فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثُ  

[Machine] "So I saw Umar stretching out his hand and saying, 'Catch the dog, for it has killed me.' Then a man came from behind him and grabbed him. Umar was carried to his house, and a doctor came to him and said, 'Which drink do you prefer?' He said, 'Nabidh (a non-alcoholic beverage made from dates).' So he was given Nabidh to drink, and one of his wounds discharged pus. He said, 'This is the pus of blood.' Then he was given milk to drink, and he said, 'Wash, O Amir al-Mu'minin (Commander of the Believers), with what you were advised.' By Allah, I do not see you dying except as a martyr!' And K'ab came to him and said, 'Did I not tell you that you will not die except as a martyr, while you were asking me where I am and I am in the Arabian Peninsula?' So a man said, 'Perform the prayer, O servants of Allah. The sun is about to rise.' They rushed until they brought 'Abdul Rahman ibn 'Awf forward, and he recited the shortest two Surahs in the Quran, 'Al-Asr' and 'Inna Ataina Ka Al-Kawthar' (indeed, We have granted you, [O Muhammad], al-Kawthar). This is what Abu Ishaq said, and this is also."  

فَأَنَا رَأَيْتُ عُمَرَ ؓ بَاسِطًا يَدَهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ أَدْرِكُوا الْكَلْبَ فَقَدْ قَتَلَنِي فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ فَأَخَذَهُ قَالَ فَحُمِلَ عُمَرُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ فَأَتَاهُ الطَّبِيبُ فَقَالَ أِيُّ الشَّرَابِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيذُ قَالَ فَدُعِيَ بِالنَّبِيذِ فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ فَخَرَجَ مِنْ إِحْدَى طَعَنَاتِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا هَذَا الصَّدِيدُ صَدِيدُ الدَّمِ قَالَ فَدُعِيَ بِلَبَنٍ فَشَرِبَ فَقَالَ أَوْصِ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِمَا كُنْتَ مُوصِيًا بِهِ فَوَاللهِ مَا أَرَاكَ تُمْسِي وَأَتَاهُ كَعْبٌ فَقَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَكَ لَا تَمُوتُ إِلَّا شَهِيدًا وَأَنْتَ تَقُولُ مِنْ أَيْنَ وَأَنَا فِي جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ الصَّلَاةَ عِبَادَ اللهِ قَدْ كَادَتِ الشَّمْسُ تَطْلُعُ قَالَ فَتَدَافَعُوا حَتَّى قَدَّمُوا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ فَقَرَأَ بِأَقْصَرِ سُورَتَيْنِ فِي الْقُرْآنِ الْعَصْرِ وَإِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ كَذَلِكَ قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ وَكَذَا  

[Machine] After that, O people, I performed ablution for prayer and I passed by a woman from my family. There were feelings between me and her that Allah had decreed. When I was in my prayer, I found wetness, so I became hesitant between two matters: either I shy away from you and take the risk with Allah, or I shy away from Allah and take the risk with you. It was that I shy away from Allah and take the risk with you which was more beloved to me. So I left and performed ablution again and renewed my prayer. Whoever does what I have done, then let him do as I have done. And it has been narrated in the legality of istikharah, from Ali.  

أَمَّا بَعْدُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَإِنِّي تَوَضَّأْتُ لِلصَّلَاةِ فَمَرَرْتُ بِامْرَأَةٍ مِنْ أَهْلِي فَكَانَ مِنِّي وَمِنْهَا مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ فَلَمَّا كُنْتُ فِي صَلَاتِي وَجَدْتُ بَلَلًا فَخَيَّرْتُ نَفْسِي بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ إِمَّا أَنْ أَسْتَحْيِيَ مِنْكُمْ وَأَجْتَرِئَ عَلَى اللهِ وَإِمَّا أَنْ أَسْتَحْيِيَ مِنَ اللهِ وَأَجْتَرِئَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَكَانَ أَنْ أَسْتَحْيِيَ مِنَ اللهِ وَأَجْتَرِئَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ فَخَرَجْتُ فَتَوَضَّأْتُ وَجَدَّدْتُ صَلَاتِي فَمَنْ صَنَعَ كَمَا صَنَعْتُهُ فَلْيَصْنَعْ كَمَا صَنَعْتُ وَرُوِيَ فِي جَوَازِ الِاسْتِخْلَافِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ  

[Machine] I prayed behind Ali ibn Abi Talib, and he stumbled. He turned around and took the hand of a man and made him lead the prayer, then Ali left.  

صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ فَرُعِفَ فَالْتَفَتَ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ رَجُلٍ فَقَدَّمَهُ فَصَلَّى وَخَرَجَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ
