[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."
قَدِيمٌ قَدْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْ جِيءَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ قَدْ صَارَ بَيْنَ أَهْلِ قُبَاءَ شَيْءٌ فَانْطَلَقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَيْهِمْ لِيُصْلِحَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَبْطَأَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ بِلَالٌ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ أَلَا أُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ؟ قَالَ مَا شِئْتَ فَأَقَامَ فَقَدَّمَ النَّاسُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَبَيْنَا هُوَ يُصَلِّي أَقْبَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ يَشُقُّ الصُّفُوفَ حَتَّى قَامَ خَلْفَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ وَجَعَلُوا يُصَفِّحُونَ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لَا يَلْتَفِتُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرُوا الْتَفَتَ فَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَائِمٌ خَلْفَهُ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ كَمَا هُوَ فَنَكَصَ إِلَى وَرَائِهِ وَتَقَدَّمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ «مَا مَنَعَكَ إِذْ أَمَرْتُكَ أَنْ لَا تَكُونَ صَلَّيْتَ؟» قَالَ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِابْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَنْ يَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا شَأْنُ التَّصْفِيقِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ إِنَّمَا التَّسْبِيحُ لِلرِّجَالِ وَالتَّصْفِيقُ لِلنِّسَاءِ»
