tabarani:17042ʿAbdullāh b. Muḥammad b. al-ʿAbbās al-Aṣbahānī > Abū Masʿūd Aḥmad b. al-Furāt > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. ʿAbdullāh b. Saʿd al-Dashtakī > ʿAmr b. Abū Qays > Simāk b. Ḥarb

[Machine] Muawiya came out to us while we were supplicating to Allah after we had prayed Dhuhr. He said, "Stay where you are until I come to you." So he came out to us wearing different clothes. When he prayed Asr, he said, "Shall I inform you of something that the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do? They used to pray the first prayer with him and then sit until they prayed the next prayer with him." So he came out to them and said, "Have you remained in the same place?" They said, "Yes." He said, "If you had seen your Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, open a door from the doors of the sky and show His angels your gatherings while you were awaiting the prayer."  

الطبراني:١٧٠٤٢حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ ثنا أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْفُرَاتِ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ الدَّشْتَكِيُّ ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي قَيْسٍ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ الثَّقَفِيِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ وَقَدْ صَلَّيْنَا الظُّهْرَ وَنَحْنُ نَدْعُو اللهَ فَقَالَ مَكَانَكُمْ حَتَّى آتِيَكُمْ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا وَقَدِ ارْتَدَى فَلَمَّا صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ قَالَ أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ فَعَلَهُ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ صَلُّوا مَعَهُ الْأُولَى ثُمَّ جَلَسُوا إِلَى أَنْ صَلُّوا مَعَهُ الْعَصْرَ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ «مَا بَرَحْتُمْ بَعْدُ؟» قَالُوا لَا قَالَ «لَوْ رَأَيْتُمْ رَبَّكُمْ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فَتْحَ بَابًا مِنْ أَبْوَابِ السَّمَاءِ يُبَاهِي مَلَائِكَتَهُ مَجَالِسَكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ تَرْقُبُونَ الصَّلَاةَ»
