[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded his companions during the night prayer to gather for prayer in the morning, for he had a need to address them. Some of his companions said, "O so-and-so, write down the first words that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ says, and you follow them, so that nothing of the words of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is missed." When he finished the morning prayer, he said, "Did you gather as I commanded you?" They replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Worship Allah alone and do not associate anything with Him. Did you understand this? Did you understand this? Did you understand this?" They replied, "Yes." He said, "Establish the prayer and give the zakat. Establish the prayer and give the zakat. Establish the prayer and give the zakat. Did you understand this? Did you understand this? Did you understand this?" They replied, "Yes." He said, "Listen and obey. Listen and obey. Did you understand this? Did you understand this? Did you understand this?" They replied, "Yes." We used to see that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would speak a lot, but then he would focus on his words until he had gathered the entire matter.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ عِنْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَتَمَةِ أَنِ احْشُدُوا لِلصَّلَاةِ غَدَا فَإِنَّ لِي إِلَيْكُمْ حَاجَةً فَقَالَتْ رُفْقَةٌ مِنْهُمْ يَا فُلَانُ دَوِّنْ أَوَّلَ كَلِمَةٍ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنْتَ الَّذِي تَلِيهَا لِئَلَّا يَفُوتَهُمْ شَيْءٌ مِنْ كَلَامِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ «هَلْ حَشَدْتُمْ كَمَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «اعْبُدُوا اللهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَهَلْ عَقِلْتُمْ هَذِهِ؟ هَلْ عَقِلْتُمْ هَذِهِ؟ هَلْ عَقِلْتُمْ هَذِهِ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ «أَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ أَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ أَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ هَلْ عَقِلْتُمْ هَذِهِ؟ هَلْ عَقِلْتُمْ هَذِهِ؟ هَلْ عَقِلْتُمْ هَذِهِ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ «اسْمَعُوا وَأَطِيعُوا اسْمَعُوا وَأَطِيعُوا هَلْ عَقِلْتُمْ هَذِهِ؟ هَلْ عَقِلْتُمْ هَذِهِ؟ هَلْ عَقِلْتُمْ هَذِهِ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَكُنَّا نَرَى أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سَيَتَكَلَّمُ كَلَامًا كَثِيرًا ثُمَّ نَظَرَ فِي كَلَامِهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ قَدْ جَمَعَ لَهُ الْأَمْرَ كُلَّهُ
