حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الصُّنَابِحِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ تَطْلُعُ بَيْنَ قَرْنَيِ الشَّيْطَانِ أَوْ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَطْلُعُ مَعَهَا قَرْنَا الشَّيْطَانِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا ارْتَفَعَتْ فَارَقَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا كَانَتْ فِي وَسَطِ السَّمَاءِ قَارَنَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا دَلَكَتْ أَوْ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ زَالَتْ فَارَقَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا دَنَتْ لِلْغُرُوبِ قَارَنَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا غَرَبَتْ فَارَقَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَا تُصَلُّوا هَذِهِ السَّاعَاتِ الثَّلَاثَ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The sun rises between the two horns of Satan” or he said “The two horns of Satan rise with it, and when it has risen, Satan parts from it. When it is in the middle of the sky he accompanies it, then when it has crossed the zenith he parts from it. When it is about to set, he accompanies it, and when it has set he parts from it. So do no pray at these three times.”

It was narrated from Abu ‘Abdullah As-Sunabihi that

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَابَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ لَا تَمْنَعُوا أَحَدًا طَافَ بِهَذَا الْبَيْتِ وَصَلَّى أَيَّةَ سَاعَةٍ شَاءَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ .

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘O Banu ‘Abd Manaf! Do not prevent anyone from circumambulating this House or praying at any time he wants of the day or night.”

It was narrated that Jubair bin Mut’im رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زِرٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَعَلَّكُمْ سَتُدْرِكُونَ أَقْوَامًا يُصَلُّونَ الصَّلَاةَ لِغَيْرِ وَقْتِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتُمُوهُمْ فَصَلُّوا فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ لِلْوَقْتِ الَّذِي تَعْرِفُونَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ صَلُّوا مَعَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَاجْعَلُوهَا سُبْحَةً .

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘You may come across people who offer a prayer at the wrong time. If you meet them, then perform prayer in your houses at the time that you know, then pray with them and make that voluntary.”

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ صَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَ الْإِمَامَ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ فَصَلِّ مَعَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَدْ أَحْرَزْتَ صَلَاتَكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِلَّا فَهِيَ نَافِلَةٌ لَكَ .

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Offer prayer on time, and if you reached the Imam leading them in prayers (on time), then perform it with them, and you will be safe with your prayer, otherwise it will be voluntary for you.”

It was narrated from Abu Dharr رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي الْمُثَنَّى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي أُبَيٍّ ابْنِ امْرَأَةِ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ يَعْنِي:‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَيَكُونُ أُمَرَاءُ تَشْغَلُهُمْ أَشْيَاءُ يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَنْ وَقْتِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاجْعَلُوا صَلَاتَكُمْ مَعَهُمْ تَطَوُّعًا .

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “There will be leaders who will be distracted by matters and they will delay the prayer until after its proper time. So make your prayer with them voluntary.”

It was narrated from ‘Ubadah bin Samit رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ نَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْخَوْفِ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْإِمَامُ يُصَلِّي بِطَائِفَةٍ مَعَهُ فَيَسْجُدُونَ سَجْدَةً وَاحِدَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَتَكُونُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْعَدُوِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ الَّذِينَ سَجَدُوا السَّجْدَةَ مَعَ أَمِيرِهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ يَكُونُونَ مَكَانَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُصَلُّوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيَتَقَدَّمُ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُصَلُّوا فَيُصَلُّوا مَعَ أَمِيرِهِمْ سَجْدَةً وَاحِدَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ أَمِيرُهُمْ وَقَدْ صَلَّى صَلَاتَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيُصَلِّي كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ بِصَلَاتِهِ سَجْدَةً لِنَفْسِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنْ كَانَ خَوْفٌ أَشَدَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَرِجَالًا أَوْ رُكْبَانًا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَعْنِي بِالسَّجْدَةِ:‏‏‏‏ الرَّكْعَةَ.

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said concerning the fear prayer: “The Imam should lead one group in prayer, and they should perform one prostration, and there should be another group between them and the enemy (guarding them). Then those who did the prostration with their leader should move away, and take the place of those who have not yet prayed. Then those who have not yet prayed should come forward and perform one prostration with their leader. Then their leader should move away, and his prayer will be complete. Then each group should perform one prostration by itself. If the fear is too great, then (they should pray) on foot or riding.’” He said: What is meant by prostration here is a Rak’ah.

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar رضی اللہ عنہما said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ خَوَّاتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْخَوْفِ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَقُومُ الْإِمَامُ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَتَقُومُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ مَعَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَطَائِفَةٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْعَدُوِّ وَوُجُوهُهُمْ إِلَى الصَّفِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَيَرْكَعُ بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً وَيَرْكَعُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيَسْجُدُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ فِي مَكَانِهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ يَذْهَبُونَ إِلَى مُقَامِ أُولَئِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيَجِيءُ أُولَئِكَ فَيَرْكَعُ بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً وَيَسْجُدُ بِهِمْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَهِيَ لَهُ ثِنْتَانِ وَلَهُمْ وَاحِدَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُونَ رَكْعَةً وَيَسْجُدُونَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ:‏‏‏‏ فَسَأَلْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانَ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ خَوَّاتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ لِي يَحْيَى:‏‏‏‏ اكْتُبْهُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَسْتُ أَحْفَظُ الْحَدِيثَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَكِنْ مِثْلُ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى.

He said concerning the fear prayer: “The Imam should stand facing the Qiblah, and a group of them should stand with him, and another group should stand in the direction of the enemy, facing towards the row (of worshippers). He should lead them in one Rak’ah, then they should bow and do two prostrations by themselves where they are. Then they should go and take the place of the others, and the others should come and pray one Rak’ah, bowing and prostrating with the leader. Then he will have prayed two Rak’ah and they will have prayed one; then they should perform another Rak’ah, bowing and performing two prostrations.”

It was narrated from Sahl bin Abu Hathmah رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَكَعَ بِهِمْ جَمِيعًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ سَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالصَّفُّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُ وَالْآخَرُونَ قِيَامٌ حَتَّى إِذَا نَهَضَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏سَجَدَ أُولَئِكَ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ تَأَخَّرَ الصَّفُّ الْمُقَدَّمُ حَتَّى قَامُوا مُقَامَ أُولَئِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَتَخَلَّلَ أُولَئِكَ حَتَّى قَامُوا مُقَامَ الصَّفِّ الْمُقَدَّمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَكَعَ بِهِمُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَمِيعًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ سَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلُونَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا رَفَعُوا رُءُوسَهُمْ سَجَدَ أُولَئِكَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكُلُّهُمْ قَدْ رَكَعَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسَجَدَت طَائِفَةٌ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَانَ الْعَدُوُّ مِمَّا يَلِي الْقِبْلَةَ .

The Prophet (ﷺ) led his Companions in the fear prayer. He led them all in bowing, then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and the row nearest him prostrated, and the others stood up, then when he stood up, they prostrated twice by themselves. Then the front row moved back and took their place, and they moved forward until they formed the front row. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) led them all in bowing, then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and the row nearest to him prostrated, and when they raised their heads, the others prostrated twice. So all of them bowed with the Prophet (ﷺ) and some of them prostrated by themselves, and the enemy was in the direction of the Qiblah.

It was narrated from Jabir bin ‘Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہما that

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَقُومُوا فَصَلُّوا .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The sun and the moon do not become eclipsed for the death of anyone among mankind. If you see that, then stand and perform prayer.”

It was narrated that Abu Mas’ud رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ وَجَمِيلُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ فَخَرَجَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَزِعًا يَجُرُّ ثَوْبَهُ حَتَّى أَتَى الْمُسْجِدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُصَلِّي حَتَّى انْجَلَتْ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ أُنَاسًا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ إِلَّا لِمَوْتِ عَظِيمٍ مِنَ الْعُظَمَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا تَجَلَّى اللَّهُ لِشَيْءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَشَعَ لَهُ .

“The sun was eclipsed at the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and he came out alarmed, dragging his lower garment, until he reached the mosque. He continued to perform prayer until the eclipse was over, then he said: ‘Some people claim that the sun and moon only become eclipsed because of the death of a great leader. That is not so. The sun and the moon do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. When Allah manifests Himself to anything in His creation, it humbles itself before Him.’”

It was narrated that Nu’man bin Bashir رضی اللہ عنہما said

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ الْمِصْرِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فِي حَيَاةِ ِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَامَ فَكَبَّرَ فَصَفَّ النَّاسُ وَرَاءَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِرَاءَةً طَوِيلَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَامَ فَقَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً طَوِيلَةً هِيَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ الْأُولَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَرَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا هُوَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ الْأَوَّلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ فَعَلَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُخْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاسْتَكْمَلَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَانْجَلتَ الشَّمْسُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَامَ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللَّهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ .

“The sun was eclipsed during the life of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out to the mosque and stood and said the Takbir, and the people formed rows behind him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited for a long time, then he said the Takbir and bowed for a long time. Then he raised his head and said: ‘Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah, Rabban was lakal-hamd.’ Then he stood and recited for a long time, but shorter than the first recitation. Then he said the Takbir and bowed for a long time, but less than the first bowing. Then he said: ‘Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa lakal-hamd.’ Then he did the same in the next Rak’ah, and he completed four Rak’ah and four sets of prostration, and the eclipse ended before he finished. Then he stood and addressed the people. He praised Allah as He deserves to be praised, then he said: ‘The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah. They do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see that then seek help in prayer.’”

It was narrated that ‘Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا said

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ عِبَادٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْكُسُوفِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَا نَسْمَعُ لَهُ صَوْتًا .

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) led us in the eclipse prayer, and we did not hear his voice.”

It was narrated that Samurah bin Jundab رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحْرِزُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْعَدَنِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْجُمَحِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الْكُسُوفِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَامَ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ رَفَعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَامَ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ رَفَعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَأَطَالَ السُّجُودَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ رَفَعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَأَطَالَ السُّجُودَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ رَفَعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَامَ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ رَفَعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَامَ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ رَفَعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَأَطَالَ السُّجُودَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ رَفَعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَأَطَالَ السُّجُودَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَقَدْ دَنَتْ مِنِّي الْجَنَّةُ حَتَّى لَوِ اجْتَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهَا لَجِئْتُكُمْ بِقِطَافٍ مِنْ قِطَافِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَدَنَتْ مِنِّي النَّارُ حَتَّى قُلْتُ أَيْ رَبِّ وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ نَافِعٌ:‏‏‏‏ حَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَرَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً تَخْدِشُهَا هِرَّةٌ لَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ مَا شَأْنُ هَذِهِ؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ حَبَسَتْهَا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ جُوعًا لَا هِيَ أَطْعَمَتْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا هِيَ أَرْسَلَتْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خِشَاشِ الْأَرْضِ .

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) performed the eclipse prayer. He stood for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he stood up for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he stood up, then he prostrated for a long time, then he sat up, then he prostrated for a long time. He stood for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he stood up for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he stood up, then he prostrated for a long time, then he sat up, then he prostrated for a long time. Then he finished and said: ‘Paradise was brought close to me, so that if I had dared, I could have brought you some of its fruits. And Hell was brought near to me, until I said: “O Lord, am I one of them?” Nafi’ said: “I think that he said: ‘And I saw a woman being scratched by a cat that belonged to her. I said: “What is wrong with this woman?” They said: “She detained it until it died of hunger; she did not feed it and she did not let it loose to eat of the vermin of the earth.”

It was narrated that Asma’ bint Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہما said

“One of the chiefs* sent me to Ibn ‘Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما to ask him about the prayer for rain. Ibn ‘Abbas said: ‘What kept him from asking me?’ He said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out humbly, walking with a humble and moderate gait, imploring, and he performed two Rak’ah as he used to pray for ‘Eid, but he did not give a sermon like this sermon of yours.’”

It was narrated from Hisham bin Ishaq bin ‘Abdullah bin Kinanah that his father said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ عَبَّادَ بْنَ تَمِيمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يُحَدِّثُ أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمِّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى لِيَسْتَسْقِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَلَبَ رِدَاءَهُ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ .حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بِمِثْلِهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الْمَسْعُودِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو أَجَعَلَ أَعْلاَهُ أَسْفَلَهُ أَوِ الْيَمِينَ عَلَى الشِّمَالِ قَالَ لاَ بَلِ الْيَمِينَ عَلَى الشِّمَالِ ‏.‏

“I heard ‘Abbad bin Tamim narrating to my father that his paternal uncle had seen the Prophet (ﷺ) going out to the prayer place to pray for rain. He faced the Qiblah and turned his cloak around, and prayed two Rak’ah.” (One of the narrators) Muhammad bin Sabbah said: “Sufyan told us something similar, narrating from Yahya bin Sa`eed, from Abu Bakr bin Muhammad bin `Amr bin Hazm. from `Abbad bin Tamim, from his paternal uncle, from the Prophet (ﷺ).” Sufyan narrated that Al-Mas`udi said: “I asked Abu Bakr bin Muhammad bin `Amr: 'Did he turn it upside down or right to left?' He said: 'No, it was right to left.'”

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Abu Bakr said

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out one day to pray for rain. He led us in praying two Rak’ah without any Adhan or Iqamah, then he addressed us and supplicated to Allah. He turned to face the Qiblah, raising his hands, then he turned his cloak around, putting its right on the left and its left on the right.”

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ السِّمْطِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِكَعْبٍ:‏‏‏‏ يَا كَعْبُ بْنَ مُرَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاحْذَرْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏اسْتَسْقِ اللَّهَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اللَّهُمَّ اسْقِنَا غَيْثًا مَرِيئًا مَرِيعًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏طَبَقًا عَاجِلًا غَيْرَ رَائِثٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏نَافِعًا غَيْرَ ضَارٍّ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَمَا جَمَّعُوا حَتَّى أُجِيبُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَأَتَوْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَشَكَوْا إِلَيْهِ الْمَطَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏تَهَدَّمَتِ الْبُيُوتُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اللَّهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَجَعَلَ السَّحَابُ يَنْقَطِعُ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا.

“O Ka’b bin Murrah, narrate to us a Hadith from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), but be careful.” He said: “A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, ask Allah for rain!’ So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) raised his hands and said: ‘O Allah! Send wholesome, productive rain upon all of us, sooner rather than later, beneficial and not harmful.’ No sooner had they finished performing Friday (prayer) but they were revived. Then they came to him and complained to him about the rain, saying: ‘O Allah, around us and not upon us.’ Then the clouds began to disperse right and left.”

It was narrated from Shurahbil bin Simt that he said to Ka’b رضی اللہ عنہ

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لَقَدْ جِئْتُكَ مِنْ عِنْدِ قَوْمٍ مَا يَتَزَوَّدُ لَهُمْ رَاعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا يَخْطِرُ لَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَحْلٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اللَّهُمَّ اسْقِنَا غَيْثًا مُغِيثًا مَرِيئًا طَبَقًا مَرِيعًا غَدَقًا عَاجِلًا غَيْرَ رَائِثٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ نَزَلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَا يَأْتِيهِ أَحَدٌ مِنْ وَجْهٍ مِنَ الْوُجُوهِ إِلَّا قَالُوا قَدْ أُحْيِينَا .

“A Bedouin came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I have come to you from people who have no place to graze their flocks and even their male camels have become weak. He mounted the pulpit and praised Allah, then he said: ‘O Allah, send upon us all abundant, wholesome rain, productive and plentiful, sooner rather than later.’ Then the rain came down, and no one came to him from any direction but they said: ‘We have been revived.’”

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ بَرَكَة، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ نَهِيكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ اسْتَسْقَى حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ أَوْ رُئِيَ بَيَاضُ إِبْطَيْهِ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ مُعْتَمِرٌ:‏‏‏‏ أُرَاهُ فِي الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ.

“The Prophet (ﷺ) supplicated for rain (raising his hands) until I saw or one could see the whiteness of his armpits.”

Mu’tamir narrated from his father, from Barakah, from Bashir bin Nahik, from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْأَزْهَرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَقِيلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سَالِمٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ رُبَّمَا ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ الشَّاعِرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَا نَزَلَ حَتَّى جَيَّشَ كُلُّ مِيزَابٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَذْكُرُ قَوْلَ الشَّاعِرِ:‏‏‏‏ وَأَبْيَضَ يُسْتَسْقَى الْغَمَامُ بِوَجْهِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثِمَالُ الْيَتَامَى عِصْمَةٌ لِلْأَرَامِلِ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ.

“Sometimes I remember the words of the poet when I was looking at the face of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the pulpit. He did not come down until all the waterspouts in Al-Madinah were filled with rain. And I remember what the poet said: ‘He has a white complexion and rain is sought by virtue of his countenance, He cares for the orphans, and protects the widows, These are the words of Abu Talib.”

Salim narrated that his father said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ خَطَبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَأَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُسْمِعِ النِّسَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَاهُنَّ فَذَكَّرَهُنَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَبِلَالٌ قَائِلٌ بِيَدَيْهِ هَكَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُلْقِي الْخُرْصَ وَالْخَاتَمَ وَالشَّيْءَ .

“I heard Ibn ‘Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما say: ‘I bear witness that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed before the sermon, then he delivered the sermon. And he thought that the women had not heard, so he went over to them and reminded them (of Allah) and preached to them and enjoined them to give in charity, and Bilal رضی اللہ عنہ was spreading his hands like this, and the women started giving their earrings, rings and things.’”

It was narrated that ‘Ata’ said

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ خَلَّادٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ صَلَّى يَوْمَ الْعِيدِ بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ وَلَا إِقَامَةٍ .

The Prophet (ﷺ) prayed on the day of ‘Eid with no Adhan and no Iqamah.

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما that

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيل بْنِ رَجَاءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وعَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَخْرَجَ مَرْوَانُ الْمِنْبَرَ يَوْمَ الْعِيدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَدَأَ بِالْخُطْبَةِ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ؟ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا مَرْوَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏خَالَفْتَ السُّنَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْرَجْتَ الْمِنْبَرَ يَوْمَ عِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يُخْرَجُ بِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَبَدَأْتَ بِالْخُطْبَةِ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يُبْدَأُ بِهَا؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ قَضَى مَا عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ رَأَى مُنْكَرًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يُغَيِّرَهُ بِيَدِهِ فَلْيُغَيِّرْهُ بِيَدِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبِلِسَانِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ بِلِسَانِهِ فَبِقَلْبِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَذَلِكَ أَضْعَفُ الْإِيمَانِ .

“Marwan brought the pulpit out one ‘Eid day and started to deliver the sermon before the prayer. A man stood up and said: ‘O Commander of the Believers, you have gone against the Sunnah. You have brought the pulpit out on the day of ‘Eid and it was not brought out before, and you started with the sermon before the prayer, when this was not done before.’ Abu Sa’eed said: ‘As for this man, he has done his duty. I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, and he is able to change it with his hand, then change it with his hand (by taking action); if he cannot, (do so) with his tongue then with his tongue (by speaking out); and if he cannot then with his heart (by hating it and feeling that it is wrong), and that is the weakest of faith.”

It was narrated that Abu Sa’eed رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا حَوْثَرَةُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ نَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ عُمَرُ يُصَلُّونَ الْعِيدَ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ .

“The Prophet (ﷺ), then Abu Bakr, then ‘Umar رضی اللہ عنہما , used to pray the ‘Eid prayer before delivering the sermon.”

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar رضی اللہ عنہما said

حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَمَّارِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ مُؤَذِّنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ يُكَبِّرُ فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ:‏‏‏‏ فِي الْأُولَى سَبْعًا قَبْلَ الْقِرَاءَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ خَمْسًا قَبْلَ الْقِرَاءَةِ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say the Takbir in the ‘Eid prayer, seven times in the first (Rak’ah) before reciting Qur’an, and five times in the second before reciting Qur’an.

‘Abdur-Rahman bin Sa’d bin ‘Ammar bin Sa’d, the Mu’adhdhin of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), narrated from his father, from his father, from his grandfather, that
