ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ
[Machine] Mu'adh used to pray with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ then he would go back to his people and pray with them. The Prophet ﷺ delayed the prayer one night, so Mu'adh led his people in prayer and recited Surah Al-Baqarah. When a man from his people saw this, he went to a side of the mosque and prayed alone. They said, "You have become a hypocrite." He said, "No, I will surely inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." So, he went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Mu'adh prays with you and then comes back and leads us in prayer. And you delayed the prayer last night." So, the Prophet ﷺ came and led us in prayer. He recited Surah Al-Baqarah. I was delayed, so I prayed alone, O Messenger of Allah. Indeed, we are clear and we work with our own hands. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Mu'adh, are you reciting Surah Al-Baqarah to them? Recite Surah Al-Lail and Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High. And the heaven, We have built it with craftsmanship."
كَانَ مُعَاذٌ يُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَيُصَلِّي بِهِمْ فَأَخَّرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الصَّلَاةَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَرَجَعَ مُعَاذٌ فَأَمَّهُمْ فَقَرَأَ بِسُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ انْحَرَفَ إِلَى نَاحِيَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَصَلَّى وَحْدَهُ فَقَالُوا نَافَقْتَ قَالَ لَا وَلَآتِيَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَأُخْبِرَنَّهُ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ مُعَاذًا يُصَلِّي مَعَكَ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فَيَؤُمُّنَا وَإِنَّكَ أَخَّرْتَ الصَّلَاةَ الْبَارِحَةَ فَجَاءَ فَأَمَّنَا فَقَرَأَ بِسُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ وَإِنِّي تَأَخَّرْتُ عَنْهُ فَصَلَّيْتُ وَحْدِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّا نَحْنُ أَصْحَابُ نَوَاضِحَ وَإِنَّا نَعْمَلُ بِأَيْدِينَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَا مُعَاذُ أَفَتَّانٌ أَنْتَ؟ اقْرَأْ بِهِمْ سُورَةَ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى وسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ»
