ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ بَعْضِ السُّجُودِ وَالرُّكُوعِ لِلْمُصَلِّي فِي صَلَاتِهِ

[Machine] A man from the Ansar came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, there are certain things I wish to ask you about." The Prophet replied, "Sit." Then, a man from Thaqif came and said, "O Messenger of Allah, there are certain things I wish to ask you about." The Prophet ﷺ said, "The Ansari has preceded you." The Ansari man said, "He is a stranger and a stranger has rights. Begin with him." So, the Prophet turned towards the man and said, "If you want, I can answer the questions you came to ask, or if you prefer, you can ask me and I will inform you." The man replied, "O Messenger of Allah, rather answer me regarding the questions I came to ask." The Prophet ﷺ said, "You came to ask me about the acts of bowing, prostrating, praying, and fasting." The man said, "By the One who sent you with the truth, I have not made any mistakes regarding these acts." The Prophet ﷺ said, "When you bow, place your hands on your knees, then separate your fingers. Remain in that position until each limb takes its appropriate posture. And when you prostrate, place your forehead firmly on the ground and do not peck like a rooster. Perform the prayer at the beginning and end of the day." The man asked, "O Prophet of Allah, what if I perform the prayer in between?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Then you will be considered as one who prays. And fast for thirteen, fourteen, or fifteen days in every month." The Thaqifi man then stood up and approached the Ansari man, saying, "If you want, I can inform you about what you came to ask, or if you prefer, you can ask me and I will inform you." The Ansari man said, "No, O Prophet of Allah, inform me about what I came to ask you." The Prophet said, "You came to inquire about the rights of the pilgrim when he leaves his home, stands at Arafat, throws stones, shaves or trims his hair, and completes the final circumambulation of the Kaaba." The man replied, "By the One who sent you with the truth, I have not made any mistakes regarding these matters." The Prophet ﷺ said, "When he leaves his home, every step taken by his mount will be recorded as a good deed or a sin. And when he stands at Arafat, Allah, the Exalted, descends to the lowest heaven and says, 'Look at my servants, how unkempt and dusty they are. Bear witness that I have forgiven them their sins, even if they were as numerous as the drops of rain and sand on the ground.' And when he throws the stones, no one knows its reward until the Day of Judgment. And when he shaves his head, for every hair that falls, a light will be created on the Day of Judgment. And when he completes the final circumambulation of the Kaaba, he will be free of his sins, just as he was on the day he was born."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَلِمَاتٌ أَسْأَلُ عَنْهُنَّ قَالَ «اجْلِسْ» وَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَلِمَاتٌ أَسْأَلُ عَنْهُنَّ فَقَالَ ﷺ «سَبَقَكَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ» فَقَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ إِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ غَرِيبٌ وَإِنَّ لِلْغَرِيبِ حَقًّا فَابْدَأْ بِهِ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى الثَّقَفِيِّ فَقَالَ «إِنْ شِئْتَ أَجَبْتُكَ عَمَّا كُنْتَ تَسْأَلُ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ سَأَلْتَنِي وَأُخْبِرْكَ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَلْ أَجِبْنِي عَمَّا كُنْتُ أَسْأَلُكَ قَالَ «جِئْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنِ الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ وَالصَّلَاةِ وَالصَّوْمِ» فَقَالَ لَا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَخْطَأْتَ مِمَّا كَانَ فِي نَفْسِي شَيْئًا قَالَ «فَإِذَا رَكَعْتَ فَضَعْ رَاحَتَيْكَ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْكَ ثُمَّ فَرِّجْ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِكَ ثُمَّ أَمْكُثْ حَتَّى يَأْخُذَ كُلُّ عُضْوٍ مَأْخَذَهُ وَإِذَا سَجَدْتَ فَمَكِّنْ جَبْهَتَكَ وَلَا تَنْقُرُ نَقْرًا وَصَلِّ أَوَّلَ النَّهَارِ وَآخِرَهُ» فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ أَنَا صَلَّيْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا؟ قَالَ «فَأَنْتَ إِذًا مُصَلِّي وَصُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ وَأَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ وَخَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ» فَقَامَ الثَّقَفِيُّ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى الْأَنْصَارِيِّ فَقَالَ «إِنْ شِئْتَ أَخْبَرْتُكَ عَمَّا جِئْتَ تَسْأَلُ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ سَأَلْتَنِي فَأُخْبِرْكَ» فَقَالَ لَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمَّا جِئْتُ أَسْأَلُكَ قَالَ «جِئْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنِ الْحَاجِّ مَا لَهُ حِينَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ؟ وَمَا لَهُ حِينَ يَقُومُ بِعَرَفَاتٍ؟ وَمَا لَهُ حِينَ يَرْمِي الْجِمَارَ؟ وَمَا لَهُ حِينَ يَحْلِقُ رَأْسَهُ؟ وَمَا لَهُ حِينَ يَقْضِي آخِرَ طَوَافٍ بِالْبَيْتِ؟ » فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَخْطَأْتَ مِمَّا كَانَ فِي نَفْسِي شَيْئًا قَالَ «فَإِنَّ لَهُ حِينَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ أَنَّ رَاحِلَتَهُ لَا تَخْطُو خُطْوَةً إِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُ بِهَا حَسَنَةٌ أَوْ حُطَّتْ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةٌ فَإِذَا وَقَفَ بِعَرَفَةَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ يَنْزِلُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ انْظُرُوا إِلَى عِبَادِي شُعْثًا غُبْرًا اشْهَدُوا أَنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُمْ ذُنُوبَهُمْ وَإِنْ كَانَ عَدَدَ قَطْرِ السَّمَاءِ وَرَمْلِ عَالِجٍ وَإِذَا رَمَى الْجِمَارَ لَا يَدْرِي أَحَدٌ مَا لَهُ حَتَّى يُوَفَّاهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِذَا حَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ فَلَهُ بِكُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ سَقَطَتْ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ نُورٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِذَا قَضَى آخِرَ طَوَافِهِ بِالْبَيْتِ خَرَجَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كَيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ»
