ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ الَّتِي كَانَ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ يُصَلِّي

ibnhibban:2192Abū Khalīfah > Dāwud b. Shabīb > Ḥammād b. Salamah > ʿĀṣim al-Aḥwal

[Machine] From Abdullah bin Sargis, who had met the Prophet ﷺ , it is narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed that a man arrived and prayed two units of prayer behind him for the dawn prayer. Then, he went to join the people. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he asked the man, "Which of the two prayers did you intend, the one you prayed alone or the one you prayed with us?"  

ابن حبّان:٢١٩٢أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ وَكَانَ قَدْ أَدْرَكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى الْفَجْرَ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَصَلَّى خَلْفَهُ رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ «أَيُّهُمَا جَعَلْتَ صَلَاتَكَ الَّتِي صَلَّيْتَ وَحْدَكَ أَوِ الَّتِي صَلَّيْتَ مَعَنَا؟ »
