"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has been delayed (there) and the time for prayer has come, will you lead the people in prayer?" Abu Bakr said: 'Yes, if you wish.' Bilal said the Iqamah and Abu Bakr went forward and said the Takbir for the people. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, passing through the rows (of praying people) and stood in the (first) row and the people started clapping. Abu Bakr would never glance sideways in his prayer but when the people clapped so much he looked back and ﷺMessenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured to him to carry on praying. Aha Bakr raised his hands praising Allah the Mighty and Sublime, and retreated till he reached the (first) row. Then the Messenger ofAllah ﷺ went forward and led the people in the prayer. When he completed the prayer he turned to face the people and said: '0 people, why did you start clapping when something unusual happened to you in the prayer? Clapping is only for women. So whoever among you comes across something in the prayer should say: 'Subhan Allah' for there is none who will not turn round when they hear him saying Subhan Allah. 0 Abu Bakr! What prevented you from leading the people in the prayer when I gestured to you to do so?' Abu Bakr replied: 'It is not fitting for the son of Abu Quhafah to lead the prayer in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 784)

The Prophet ﷺ went out to affect a reconciliation between the tribes of Bani ʿAmr bin ʿAuf and the time of the prayer became due; Bilal went to Abu Bakr and said, "The Prophet ﷺ is detained. Will you lead the people in the prayer?" Abu Bakr replied, "Yes, if you wish." So Bilal pronounced the Iqama and Abu Bakr led the prayer. In the meantime the Prophet ﷺ came crossing the rows (of the praying people) till he stood in the first row and the people started clapping. Abu Bakr never looked hither and thither during the prayer but when the people clapped too much, he looked back and saw the Prophet ﷺ in the (first) row. The Prophet ﷺ waved him to remain at his place, but Abu Bakr raised both his hands and sent praises to Allah and then retreated and the Prophet ﷺ went forward and led the prayer.

There was a dispute amongst the people of the tribe of Bani ʿAmr bin ʿAuf. The Prophet ﷺ went to them along with some of his companions in order to make peace between them. The time for the prayer became due but the Prophet ﷺ did not turn up; Bilal pronounced the Adhan (i.e. call) for the prayer but the Prophet ﷺ did not turn up, so Bilal went to Abu Bakr and said, "The time for the prayer is due and the Prophet ﷺ i detained, would you lead the people in the prayer?" Abu Bakr replied, "Yes, you wish." So, Bilal pronounced the Iqama of the prayer and Abu Bakr went ahead (to lead the prayer), but the Prophet came walking among the rows till he joined the first row. The people started clapping and they clapped too much, and Abu Bakr used not to look hither and thither in the prayer, but he turned round and saw the Prophet ﷺ standing behind him. The Prophet ﷺ beckoned him with his hand to keep on praying where he was. Abu Bakr raised his hand and praised Allah and then retreated till he came in the (first) row, and the Prophet ﷺ went ahead and lead the people in the prayer. When the Prophet ﷺ finished the prayer, he turned towards the people and said, "O people! When something happens to you during the prayer, you start clapping. Really clapping is (permissible) for women only. If something happens to one of you in his prayer, he should say: 'Subhan Allah', (Glorified be Allah), for whoever hears him (saying so) will direct his attention towards him. O Abu Bakr! What prevented you from leading the people in the prayer when I beckoned to you (to continue)?" Abu Bakr replied, "It did not befit the son of Abu Quhafa to lead the prayer in front of the Prophet.

There was some quarrel (sighting) among Bani ʿAmr, and when this news reached the Prophet, he offered the Zuhr prayer and went to establish peace among them. In the meantime the time of ʿAsr prayer was due, Bilal pronounced the Adhan and then the Iqama for the prayer and requested Abu Bakr (to lead the prayer) and Abu Bakr went forward. The Prophet ﷺ arrived while Abu Bakr was still praying. He entered the rows of praying people till he stood behind Abu Bakr in the (first) row. The people started clapping, and it was the habit of Abu Bakr that whenever he stood for prayer, he never glanced side-ways till he had finished it, but when Abu Bakr observed that the clapping was not coming to an end, he looked and saw the Prophet ﷺ standing behind him. The Prophet ﷺ beckoned him to carry on by waving his hand. Abu Bakr stood there for a while, thanking Allah for the saying of the Prophet ﷺ and then he retreated, taking his steps backwards. When the Prophet saw that, he went ahead and led the people in prayer. When he finished the prayer, he said, "O Abu Bakr! What prevented you from carrying on with the prayer after I beckoned you to do so?" Abu Bakr replied, "It does not befit the son of Abi Quhafa to lead the Prophet ﷺ in prayer." Then the Prophet ﷺ said to the people, "If some problem arises during prayers, then the men should say, Subhan Allah!; and the women should clap." (See Hadith No. 652, Vol. 1)

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to the tribe of Bani Amr b. Auf in order to bring reconciliation amongst (its members), and It was a time of prayer. The Mu'adhdhin came to Abu Bakr and said: Would you lead the prayer in case I recite takbir (tahrima, with which the prayer begins)? He (Abu Bakr) said: Yes. He (the narrator) said: He (Abu Bakr) started (leading) the prayer. The people were engaged in observing prayer when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ happened to come there and made his way (through the people) till he stood in a row. The people began to clap (their hands), but Abu Bakr paid no heed (to it) in prayer. When the people clapped more vigorously, he (Abu Bakr) then paid heed and saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ there. (He was about to withdraw when) the Messenger of Allah ﷺ signed to him to keep standing at his place. Abu Bakr lifted his hands and praised Allah for what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had commanded him and then Abu Bakr withdrew himself till he stood in the midst of the row and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stepped forward and led the prayer. When (the prayer) was over, he (the Holy Prophet) said: 0 Abu Bakr, what prevented you from standing (at that place) as I ordered you to do? Abu Bakr said: It does not become the son of Abu Quhafa to lead prayer before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said (to the people) around him: What is it that I saw you clapping so vigorously? (Behold) when anything happens in prayer, say: Subha Allah, for when you would utter it, it would attract the attention, while clapping of hands is meant for women.

"Words were exchanged between two clans of the Ansar, to the point that they began to throw rocks at one another. The Prophet [SAW] went to reconcile between them. The time for prayer came, so Bilal called Adhan and waited for the Messenger of Allah [SAW], but he was delayed. He said the Iqamah and Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, went forward (to lead the prayer). Then the Prophet [SAW] came while Abu Bakr was leading the people in prayer, and when the people saw him they clapped. Abu Bakr would not turn around when he was praying, but when he heard them clapping, he turned around and saw the Messenger of Allah [SAW]. He wanted to step back but (the Prophet [SAW]) gestured to him to stay where he was. Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, raised his hands, then he moved backward and the Messenger of Allah [SAW] came forward and led (the rest of) the prayer. When the Messenger of Allah [SAW] finished praying, he said: 'What prevented you from staying where you were?' He said: 'I would not like Allah to see the son of Abu Quhafah standing in front of His Prophet.' Then he (the Prophet [SAW]) turned to the people and said: 'If you noticed something while you were praying, why did you clap? That is for women. Whoever notices something while he is praying, let him say: "Subhan Allah."

I pronounce the Iqamah. He said ; Yes. So Abiu Bakr led the prayer , and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came back while the people were praying. He penetrated through the rows and stood in the first row. The people clapped but Abu Bakr did not pay any attention to it during prayer. When the people clapped increasingly, he paid attention. He saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a sign to him (saying); Stay at your place. Abu BAkr raised his hands and praised Allah for the commandment the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had given him (to lead the people in prayer). Abu Bakr then stepped back and stood in the row. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stepped forward and led the prayer. When he finished the prayer, he said; Abu Bakr, what prevented you staying (at your place) when I already commented you to do so? Abu Bakr said ; it was not befitting for the son of Abu Quhafah (Abu Bakr) to lead the prayer in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said; What is the matter that I saw you clapping frequently during prayer? If anything happens to someone during prayer, he should say “Glory be to Allah,” for when he glorifies Allah. He pays attention to him. Clapping applies only to women. Abu Dawud said: This is operative in the obligatory prayer.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Hazim Salama ibn Dinar from Sahl ibn Said as-Saidi that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to the tribe of Bani Amr ibn Awf to settle their disputes .The time for the prayer came and the muadhdhin came to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq and said, "Could you lead the people in prayer and I will say the iqama?" He said, "Yes," and Abu Bakr prayed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came back while the people were praying, and approached and joined the row. People clapped, but Abu Bakr did not turn round. The people increased their clapping, and Abu Bakr turned round and saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ indicated to him to stay in his place. Abu Bakr raised his hands and praised Allah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had told him to do that. Then he drew back until he was in the row, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stepped forward and led the prayer. When he had finished he said, "Abu Bakr, what stopped you from staying put like I told you?" Abu Bakr said, "It is not for Ibn Abi Quhafa to pray in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Why did I see you all clapping so much? If something happens to you in the prayer you should say 'Subhana-llah' (Glory be to Allah), and when you say 'Subhana-llah' you will be heard. Clapping is only for women."

[Machine] Among a group of the Ansar, there was an issue, so the Messenger of Allahﷺ went to them to reconcile between them. As the prayer time approached, Bilal came to Abu Bakr and said, "O Abu Bakr, the prayer has approached and the Messenger of Allahﷺ is not here. Shall I give the call to prayer and establish the prayer?" Abu Bakr replied, "Do as you please." So Abu Bakr came forward and led the prayer. Then the Messenger of Allahﷺ arrived and greeted the people with Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr stepped back, and the Messenger of Allahﷺ motioned to him, "Where are you?" Then Abu Bakr stepped back and the Messenger of Allahﷺ came forward and prayed. After completing the prayer, he said to Abu Bakr, "O Abu Bakr, what prevented you from leading the prayer?" Abu Bakr replied, "It was not appropriate for the son of Abu Quhafa to lead the prayer before the Messenger of Allahﷺ." The Messenger of Allahﷺ said, "Then why did you shake hands?" They replied, "We did it to inform Abu Bakr." He said, "Greeting is for women, while glorification is for men."

"There was some fighting among Banu 'Amr bin 'Awf, and news of that reached the Prophet ﷺ. He prayed Zuhr, then he went to them to reconcile between them. Then he said to Bilal: 'O Bilal, if the time for Asr comes and I have not come back, then tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer.' When the time (for Asr) came, Bilal called the Adhan, then the Iqamah, then he said to Abu Bakr: 'Go forward. So Abu Bakr went forward and started to pray. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and started passing through the rows of people until he stood behind Abu Bakr, and the people clapped. Abu Bakr was such that whenever he started praying, he would never glance sideways, but when he noticed that the clapping persisted he turned around. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured to him to carry on praying. Abu Bakr praised Allah the Mighty and Sublime for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ having told him to continue. Then Abu Bakr moved backward on his heels, and when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw that, he came forward and led the people in prayer. When he completed the prayer he said: 'O Abu Bakr, when I gestured to you, what kept you from continuing (to lead the people)?' He said: 'It does not befit the son of Abu Quhafah to lead the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in prayer.' And he (the Prophet) said to the people: 'If you notice something (during the prayer), men should say Subhan Allah and women should clap.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 793)

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to the Banu Amr ibn Awf in a dispute between them to reconcile them. The Asr prayer time arrived, and Bilal said to Abu Bakr, "Should I establish the prayer and lead the people?" Abu Bakr replied, "Yes," so Bilal called the people to prayer. Abu Bakr advanced to lead the people in prayer, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came breaking the rows, shaking hands with the people. Abu Bakr hardly turned in the prayer, but when the people increased in turning, Abu Bakr turned as well. Then he saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ breaking the rows, so Abu Bakr stepped back and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ motioned to him to stay in his place. Abu Bakr stepped back, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led the prayer with them. After finishing the prayer, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abu Bakr, "O Abu Bakr, why did you not stand up when I motioned to you?" Abu Bakr replied, "It was not fitting for the son of Abu Quhafah to lead the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in prayer." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What is wrong with you that when something comes to you, you turn? Say the tasbih (glorification of Allah); indeed, tasbih is for women."

[Machine] On the authority of Sahl ibn Saad al-Saadi, companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and said, "Verily, the Banu Amr ibn Auf have fought and pelted each other with stones." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to them to reconcile between them, and it was time for prayer. Bilal came to Abu Bakr al-Siddiq and said, "Shall I establish the prayer and call the prayer?" Abu Bakr replied, "Yes." So Bilal established the prayer, and Abu Bakr went forward. When he entered the prayer and the people lined up behind him, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came from where he had gone and started passing through the rows until he reached the first row. Then he stopped and caused the people to clap their hands to get Abu Bakr's attention, so they could give him permission to give the call to prayer for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Abu Bakr did not turn during the prayer, but when they persisted in clapping, he did turn and found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ behind him with the people. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured to Abu Bakr to remain standing, then he raised his hands as if he was supplicating, then he delayed the recitation of Surah Al-Qaari'ah until he arrived. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went ahead and led the people in prayer. When he finished his prayer, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What is the matter with you, and why did you start clapping? When something happens to one of you in your prayer, let him say 'Subhan Allah,' for indeed, glorification is for men and clapping is for women." Then he said to Abu Bakr, "Why did you raise your hands? What prevented you from remaining still when I gestured to you?" Abu Bakr replied, "I raised my hands because I praised you for what I saw of you, and it was not appropriate for Ibn Abi Quhafah to lead the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in prayer."

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to Banu ‘Amr b. ‘Awf to effect reconciliation between them . in the meantime the time of prayer came and the Mu’adhdhin came to Abu Bakr and asked : Will you lead the people in prayer? I pronounce the Iqamah. He said ; Yes. So Abiu Bakr led the prayer , and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came back while the people were praying. He penetrated through the rows and stood in the first row. The people clapped but Abu Bakr did not pay any attention to it during prayer. When the people clapped increasingly, he paid attention. He saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a sign to him (saying); Stay at your place. Abu BAkr raised his hands and praised Allah for the commandment the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had given him (to lead the people in prayer). Abu Bakr then stepped back and stood in the row. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stepped forward and led the prayer. When he finished the prayer, he said; Abu Bakr, what prevented you staying (at your place) when I already commented you to do so? Abu Bakr said ; it was not befitting for the son of Abu Quhafah (Abu Bakr) to lead the prayer in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said; What is the matter that I saw you clapping frequently during prayer? If anything happens to someone during prayer, he should say “Glory be to Allah,” for when he glorifies Allah. He pays attention to him. Clapping applies only to women. Abu Dawud said: This is operative in the obligatory prayer. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 940)

"There was some fighting among Banu 'Amr bin 'Awf, and news of that reached the Prophet ﷺ. He prayed Zuhr, then he went to them to reconcile between them. Then he said to Bilal: 'O Bilal, if the time for Asr comes and I have not come back, then tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer.' When the time (for Asr) came, Bilal called the Adhan, then the Iqamah, then he said to Abu Bakr: 'Go forward. So Abu Bakr went forward and started to pray. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and started passing through the rows of people until he stood behind Abu Bakr, and the people clapped. Abu Bakr was such that whenever he started praying, he would never glance sideways, but when he noticed that the clapping persisted he turned around. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured to him to carry on praying. Abu Bakr praised Allah the Mighty and Sublime for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ having told him to continue. Then Abu Bakr moved backward on his heels, and when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw that, he came forward and led the people in prayer. When he completed the prayer he said: 'O Abu Bakr, when I gestured to you, what kept you from continuing (to lead the people)?' He said: 'It does not befit the son of Abu Quhafah to lead the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in prayer.' And he (the Prophet) said to the people: 'If you notice something (during the prayer), men should say Subhan Allah and women should clap.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 793)

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , went to the tribe of Bani Amr ibn Awf to reconcile between them regarding a dispute that had arisen among them. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , did not arrive until the midday prayer had been established. Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, stepped forward to lead the people in prayer and he pronounced the takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar, meaning "Allah is the Greatest"). Then the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , entered, and the people began applauding Abu Bakr for his quick response to the entrance of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, did not turn around in his prayer. But when he heard the sound of the footsteps behind him, indicating that the row behind him had been completed, he knew that the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , had come. He stepped back to open up a space between him and the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , until the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , led him to his proper place. Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, took a few steps back, and then joined the row behind him. When the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , noticed this, he stepped forward and led them in prayer until the prayer was complete, then he uttered the tasleem (saying As-salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah, meaning "peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah"). He then approached Abu Bakr and asked him, "Abu Bakr, what made you do what you did? Didn't you stay in your place when I led you?" Abu Bakr replied, "Indeed, I intended to do that, but I did not see it appropriate for the son of Abu Quhafa (referring to himself) to precede the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ." Then he turned to the people and said, "When a representative is appointed for you, then it is upon you to say the tasbeeh (saying SubhanAllah, meaning "Glory be to Allah"), as the tasbeeh is for the men and the applause is for the women."

[Machine] A dispute occurred between the tribes of Bani Amr ibn Awf, to the extent that they began throwing stones at each other. This incident was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ , so he went out to reconcile between them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was held back until Bilal called the Adhan (call to prayer), then he went to Abu Bakr and said to him, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has been delayed, would you lead the prayer?" Abu Bakr replied, "Yes." He led the prayer, and when the Prophet ﷺ arrived, he stood beside Abu Bakr, raised his hands and then led the people in prayer. After the prayer, the people praised Abu Bakr, and the Prophet ﷺ did not look back during his prayer. The Prophet ﷺ moved through the people until Abu Bakr heard his footsteps behind him and went to move back, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Stay where you are, O Abu Bakr, continue to pray with us." Abu Bakr lifted his hands to the sky, intending to prolong the prayer, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ advanced and led the people in prayer. When the prayer ended, he asked Abu Bakr, "O Abu Bakr, what prevented you from praying with the people when I commanded you to lead them in prayer?" Abu Bakr replied, "O Messenger of Allah, by my father and mother, it was not appropriate for the son of Abu Quhafa to lead the prayer in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Did you raise your hands to the sky?" Abu Bakr answered, "I praised Allah when you commanded me to lead the prayer with you, then I turned to face the people." The Prophet ﷺ then said to the people, "O people, what is the matter with you during your prayer when something happens that you start clapping? Clapping is only done by women. Whoever experiences something in their prayer should glorify Allah and the one behind them should turn to them."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to reconcile between the tribe of Bani 'Amr ibn 'Awf in a matter that occurred between them until they started throwing stones at each other. Then the time for prayer came, so Bilal called the prayer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed behind and Abu Bakr went forward to lead the people in prayer. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and began to walk in between the rows. When he reached the row behind Abu Bakr, the people started clapping and Abu Bakr, who never turned in prayer, turned his head and saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he gestured to him to remain seated. Abu Bakr raised his head towards the sky in thanks to Allah and then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned to the front and completed his prayer. After finishing his prayer, he approached us and said, "O Abu Bakr, what prevented you from staying still when I gestured to you?" Abu Bakr replied, "How can Allah let the son of Abu Quhafa (Abu Bakr) stand before His Messenger?" Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned to the people and said, "O people, why did you clap in your prayers? Clapping is only for women, and saying Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) is for men. Whoever has something to say in his prayer, let him say Subhan Allah."

[Machine] Anciently, that used to be when we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and there was a matter to be resolved among the people of Quba. So, the Prophet ﷺ went to them to reconcile between them. He slowed down among the people, and Bilal said to Abu Bakr, "Shouldn't I establish the prayer?" Abu Bakr said, "Do as you wish." So, Bilal led the prayer, and the people started to move Abu Bakr forward. While Abu Bakr was praying, the Prophet ﷺ arrived and started rearranging the rows until he stood behind Abu Bakr. They began to clap, and Abu Bakr, who used to not turn around during prayer, looked back when they clapped. So, when they clapped more, they realized that the Prophet ﷺ was standing behind him. The Prophet ﷺ gestured to Abu Bakr to continue praying as he was, and then he stepped back. When the Prophet ﷺ finished, he asked Abu Bakr, "What prevented you from praying when I commanded you not to?" Abu Bakr replied, "It is not fitting for the son of Abu Quhafa to precede the Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "What is the matter with the clapping during prayer? Verily, glorification is for men and clapping is for women."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to the people of Bani Amr ibn Awf while they were sitting together. The Asr prayer was about to begin, so Bilal called out, "Stand up, O Abu Bakr, and lead the people in prayer." Thus, Abu Bakr stood up and led the people in prayer.

Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived and saw that the rows were not properly aligned. He went towards them, straightened the rows, and shook hands with the people. Abu Bakr was so focused in his prayer that he could hardly turn his head. The people started to make more sounds of tasbih (praising Allah) and Abu Bakr turned around and saw that it was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who was straightening the rows.

Abu Bakr moved back and the Prophet ﷺ gestured to him to stand in his previous position. Abu Bakr moved back and the Prophet ﷺ led the people in prayer. After he finished his prayer, he asked Abu Bakr, "O Abu Bakr, what prevented you from standing when I gestured to you?" Abu Bakr replied, "It was not appropriate for the son of Abu Quhafa to lead the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in prayer."

Then, the Prophet ﷺ said to the people, "What happened to you when I gestured to you to straighten the rows? Praise Allah for the tasbih is for the women."

"There was some fighting among Banu 'Amr bin 'Awf, and news of that reached the Prophet ﷺ. He prayed Zuhr, then he went to them to reconcile between them. Then he said to Bilal: 'O Bilal, if the time for Asr comes and I have not come back, then tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer.' When the time (for Asr) came, Bilal called the Adhan, then the Iqamah, then he said to Abu Bakr: 'Go forward. So Abu Bakr went forward and started to pray. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and started passing through the rows of people until he stood behind Abu Bakr, and the people clapped. Abu Bakr was such that whenever he started praying, he would never glance sideways, but when he noticed that the clapping persisted he turned around. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured to him to carry on praying. Abu Bakr praised Allah the Mighty and Sublime for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ having told him to continue. Then Abu Bakr moved backward on his heels, and when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw that, he came forward and led the people in prayer. When he completed the prayer he said: 'O Abu Bakr, when I gestured to you, what kept you from continuing (to lead the people)?' He said: 'It does not befit the son of Abu Quhafah to lead the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in prayer.' And he (the Prophet) said to the people: 'If you notice something (during the prayer), men should say Subhan Allah and women should clap.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 793)

[Machine] There was an argument between two of the Ansar, from the clan of Bani Amr ibn Auf, to the point where they started throwing stones at each other. The scream was heard by the Prophet ﷺ, while Bilal had already given the call for the Dhuhr prayer. The Prophet ﷺ went to reconcile between them, but he was delayed. He sent Bilal to Abu Bakr, asking him to lead the prayer until he returned. Abu Bakr stood up and started leading the prayer. When the people noticed the Prophet ﷺ standing behind Abu Bakr, they started making a commotion. Abu Bakr, however, did not turn around in his prayer. When the commotion increased, he turned around and saw that it was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He stepped back, giving the Prophet ﷺ space to lead the prayer. After completing the prayer, the Prophet ﷺ went up to Abu Bakr and asked him, "What prevented you from coming forward when I instructed you to do so?" Abu Bakr replied, "It was not befitting for Allah to see Ibn Abi Quhafa (Abu Bakr) leading the prayer while His Messenger ﷺ was present." Abu Bakr then turned towards the people and said, "O people, what is the matter with you? When something happens during your prayer, you turn around in confusion, while the making of gestures is for women and the glorification is for men."

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a man came and said, "O Messenger of Allah, there has been an argument between the Banu Amr ibn Awf until they threw stones at each other." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This used to happen among them in the past. Come with us to them." So, Ubayy ibn Ka'b and Suhail ibn Bayda'a stood up and went with him to reconcile between them. Then, the prayer time came and Bilal called the prayer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured to him to go slowly, so the people said to Abu Bakr, "Move forward." He said, "Do you see that?" They said, "Yes." So, he moved forward, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and started shaking hands with the people. Abu Bakr would not turn around during the prayer, but when he heard the people shaking hands, he turned around and saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He then stepped back, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ moved forward and led the prayer. After finishing, he said, "O Abu Bakr, what prevented you from staying in your place when I gestured to you?" He said, "It was not appropriate for Ibn Abi Quhafa to go ahead of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Why did I see you shaking hands? Clapping is for men, and tasbih (saying subhan Allah) is for women in prayer."

The news about the differences amongst the people of Bani ʿAmr bin ʿAuf reached Messenger of Allah ﷺ and so he went to them along with some of his companions to effect a reconciliation between them. Messenger of Allah ﷺ was delayed there, and the time of the prayer was due. Bilal went to Abu Bakr and said to him, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ has been delayed (there) and the time of prayer is due. So will you lead the people in prayer?" Abu Bakr said, "Yes, if you wish." Bilal pronounced the Iqama and Abu Bakr, went forward and said Takbir for the people. In the meantime Messenger of Allah ﷺ came crossing the rows (of the praying people) and stood in the (first) row and the people started clapping. Abu Bakr, would never glance sideways in his prayer but when the people clapped much he looked back and ﷺ Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Messenger of Allah ﷺ beckoned him to carry on the prayer. Abu Bakr raised his hands and thanked Allah, and retreated till he reached the (first) row. Messenger of Allah ﷺ went forward and led the people in the prayer. When he completed the prayer he faced the people and said, "O people! Why did you start clapping when something unusual happened to you in the prayer? Clapping is only for women. So whoever amongst you comes across something in the prayer should say, 'Subhan-Allah' for there is none who will not turn round on hearing him saying Subhan-Allah. O Abu Bakr! What prevented you from leading the people in the prayer when I beckoned you to do so?" Abu Bakr replied, "How dare the son of Abu Quhafa lead the prayer in the presence of Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" (Using translation from Bukhārī 1234)

[Machine] On the authority of Sahl ibn Sa'd al-Sa'idi, who was one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "An incident occurred between the tribes of Aws and Khazraj, where they exchanged some harsh words. The news reached the Prophet ﷺ , so he went to them and found himself restricted. Bilal then called the Adhan (the Islamic call to prayer), and the Prophet ﷺ was still restricted. When he was restricted, he proceeded to establish the prayer. Abu Bakr went forward to lead the people in prayer, and the Prophet ﷺ came from his confinement. People made space for him until he reached the row behind Abu Bakr. The people clapped, but Abu Bakr did not turn during the prayer. When Abu Bakr heard the applause, he turned and saw the Prophet ﷺ making a gesture to him to stay where he was. Abu Bakr raised his head towards the sky and the Quraysh turned their heels. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ advanced and led the prayer with them. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished the prayer, he said to Abu Bakr, 'What prevented you from staying in your place?' Abu Bakr replied, 'Would Allah permit Ibn Abi Quhafa (referring to himself) to be standing in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'What was the matter with you when you clapped during your prayer? Clapping is for women. If something happens to one of you in your prayer, say 'Subhan Allah' (glory be to Allah)."

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to Banu ‘Amr b. ‘Awf to effect reconciliation between them . in the meantime the time of prayer came and the Mu’adhdhin came to Abu Bakr and asked : Will you lead the people in prayer? I pronounce the Iqamah. He said ; Yes. So Abiu Bakr led the prayer , and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came back while the people were praying. He penetrated through the rows and stood in the first row. The people clapped but Abu Bakr did not pay any attention to it during prayer. When the people clapped increasingly, he paid attention. He saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a sign to him (saying); Stay at your place. Abu BAkr raised his hands and praised Allah for the commandment the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had given him (to lead the people in prayer). Abu Bakr then stepped back and stood in the row. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stepped forward and led the prayer. When he finished the prayer, he said; Abu Bakr, what prevented you staying (at your place) when I already commented you to do so? Abu Bakr said ; it was not befitting for the son of Abu Quhafah (Abu Bakr) to lead the prayer in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said; What is the matter that I saw you clapping frequently during prayer? If anything happens to someone during prayer, he should say “Glory be to Allah,” for when he glorifies Allah. He pays attention to him. Clapping applies only to women. Abu Dawud said: This is operative in the obligatory prayer. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 940)

bayhaqi:3329Muḥammad b.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to Banu ‘Amr b. ‘Awf to effect reconciliation between them . in the meantime the time of prayer came and the Mu’adhdhin came to Abu Bakr and asked : Will you lead the people in prayer? I pronounce the Iqamah. He said ; Yes. So Abiu Bakr led the prayer , and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came back while the people were praying. He penetrated through the rows and stood in the first row. The people clapped but Abu Bakr did not pay any attention to it during prayer. When the people clapped increasingly, he paid attention. He saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a sign to him (saying); Stay at your place. Abu BAkr raised his hands and praised Allah for the commandment the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had given him (to lead the people in prayer). Abu Bakr then stepped back and stood in the row. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stepped forward and led the prayer. When he finished the prayer, he said; Abu Bakr, what prevented you staying (at your place) when I already commented you to do so? Abu Bakr said ; it was not befitting for the son of Abu Quhafah (Abu Bakr) to lead the prayer in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said; What is the matter that I saw you clapping frequently during prayer? If anything happens to someone during prayer, he should say “Glory be to Allah,” for when he glorifies Allah. He pays attention to him. Clapping applies only to women. Abu Dawud said: This is operative in the obligatory prayer. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 940)

"عَنْ أَبِى حَازِمٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِىِّ؛ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُ: كَانَ بَيْنَ بَنِى عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ وَأَهْلِ قُبَاءَ شَىْءٌ، فَقَالَ: قَدِيمٌ (*) كَانَ ذَلِكَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ ، إِذْ جِئَ، فَقِيلَ: إِنَّهُ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ قُبَاءَ شَىْءٌ، فَانْطَلَقَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ إِلَيْهِمْ يُصْلِحُ بَيْنَهُمْ، فَأَبْطَأَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ بِلاَلٌ لأَبِى بَكْرٍ: أَلاَ أُقِيمُ بالصَّلاَة، قَالَ: مَا شِئْتَ، فَأقَامَ بِلاَلٌ، فَقَدَّمَ النَّاسُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، فَبَيْنَا هُوَ يُصَلِّى أَقْبَلَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ ، فَجَعَلَ يَشُقُّ الصُّفُوفَ حَتَّى قَامَ خَلْفَ أَبِى بَكْرٍ، فَجَعَلُوا يُصَفِّقُونَ (* *)، وَكَانَ لاَ يَلْتَفِتُ فِى الصَّلاَةِ، فَلَمَّا أكْثَرُوا، الْتَفَتَ، فَإِذَا النَّبِىُّ ﷺ قَائِمٌ خَلْفَهُ، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ ، فَصَلَّى، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ، قَالَ: مَا مَنعَكَ إِذَا أَمَرْتُ أَنْ لاَ تَكُونَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ؟ قَالَ: لاَ يَنْبَغِى لابْنِ أَبِى قُحَافَةَ أَنْ يَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ : مَا شَأنُ التَّصْفِيقِ فِى الصَّلاَةِ! إِنَّمَا التَّسْبِيحُ لِلرِّجَالِ وَالتَّصْفِيقُ لِلنِّسَاءِ".
