[Machine] Prayer has three states, and he mentioned the state of facing the qiblah and the state of the call to prayer. These are two states. He said, "They used to come to prayer, and the Prophet had already preceded them in some prayers. So he would gesture to them how many he prayed with his fingers, one, two. Then Mu'adh came and the Prophet had already preceded him in some prayers. So he said, "I do not find him on the same state unless I am on it." Then he performed the prayer. When the Messenger of Allah finished, Mu'adh began to lead the prayer. The Messenger of Allah said, "Mu'adh has set an example for you, so do as he did." Shu'bah narrated it from 'Amr bin Murrah, from 'Abdul-Rahman. Our companions narrated to us, saying, "When the man came, he would mention its meaning." And that is the correct opinion, because 'Abdul-Rahman bin Abi Layla did not reach Mu'adh.  

أُحِيلَتِ الصَّلَاةُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَحْوَالٍ فَذَكَرَ حَالَ الْقِبْلَةِ وَحَالَ الْأَذَانِ فَهَذَانِ حَالِانِ قَالَ وَكَانُوا يَأْتُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَقَدْ سَبَقَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِبَعْضِ الصَّلَاةِ فَيُشِيرُ إِلَيْهِمْ كَمْ صَلَّى بِالْأَصَابِعِ وَاحِدَةً اثِنْتَيْنِ فَجَاءَ مُعَاذٌ وَقَدْ سَبَقَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِبَعْضِ الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ لَا أَجِدُهُ عَلَى حَالٍ إِلَّا كُنْتُ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ قَضَيْتُ فَدَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ مُعَاذٌ يَقْضِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ سَنَّ لَكُمْ مُعَاذٌ فَهَكَذَا فَافْعَلُوا وَرَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا أَصْحَابُنَا قَالَ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا جَاءَ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ وَذَلِكَ أَصَحُّ لِأَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى لَمْ يُدْرِكْ مُعَاذًا
