حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ وَعُبَيْدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمُ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الصُّبْحِ فَلْيَضْطَجِعْ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ مَرْوَانُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَا يُجْزِئُ أَحَدَنَا مَمْشَاهُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى يَضْطَجِعَ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ ؟ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَكْثَرَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقِيلَ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ:‏‏‏‏ هَلْ تُنْكِرُ شَيْئًا مِمَّا يَقُولُ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَكِنَّهُ اجْتَرَأَ وَجَبُنَّا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَمَا ذَنْبِي إِنْ كُنْتُ حَفِظْتُ وَنَسَوْا ؟.

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: If any of you prays two rak'ahs before the dawn prayer, he should lie at his right side. Marwan ibn al-Hakam said to him: Is it not enough that one of us walks to the mosque until he lies at his right side? According to the version of Ubaydullah, he (Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ ) replied: No. This statement (of Abu Hurairah) reached Ibn Umar. He said: Abu Hurairah exceed limits on himself. He was asked: Do you look askance at what he says? He replied: No, but he dared and we showed cowardice. This (criticism of Ibn Umar) reached Abu Hurairah. He said: What is my sin if I remembered and they forgot?
