حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ صُهَيْبٍ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ صُهَيْبٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ كَانَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ يَؤُمُّ قَوْمَهُ فَدَخَلَ حَرَامٌ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَسْقِيَ نَخْلَهُ فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ لِيُصَلِّيَ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى مُعَاذًا طَوَّلَ تَجَوَّزَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ وَلَحِقَ بِنَخْلِهِ يَسْقِيهِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى مُعَاذٌ الصَّلَاةَ قِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ حَرَامًا دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلَمَّا رَآكَ طَوَّلْتَ تَجَوَّزَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ وَلَحِقَ بِنَخْلِهِ يَسْقِيهِ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَمُنَافِقٌ أَيَعْجَلُ عَنْ الصَّلَاةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ سَقْيِ نَخْلِهِ قَالَ فَجَاءَ حَرَامٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمُعَاذٌ عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَسْقِيَ نَخْلًا لِي فَدَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ لِأُصَلِّيَ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ فَلَمَّا طَوَّلَ تَجَوَّزْتُ فِي صَلَاتِي وَلَحِقْتُ بِنَخْلِي أَسْقِيهِ فَزَعَمَ أَنِّي مُنَافِقٌ فَأَقْبَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ أَفَتَّانٌ أَنْتَ أَفَتَّانٌ أَنْتَ لَا تُطَوِّلْ بِهِمْ اقْرَأْ بِسَبِّحْ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا وَنَحْوِهِمَا.
English Translation
Anas ibn Malik said: Mu'adh ibn Jabal used to lead his people in prayer. Haram entered the mosque intending to water his palm trees, and when he saw Mu'adh prolonging the prayer, he shortened his prayer and went to water his palm trees. When Mu'adh finished, he was told: "Haram entered the mosque, and when he saw you prolonging the prayer, he shortened his prayer and went to water his palm trees." Mu'adh said: "He is surely a hypocrite; does he rush from the prayer for the sake of watering his palm trees?" Haram went to the Prophet (peace be upon him) while Mu'adh was with him and said: "O Prophet of Allah, I wanted to water my palm trees, and I entered the mosque to pray with the congregation. When he prolonged the prayer, I shortened mine and went to water my palm trees, and he claimed I am a hypocrite." The Prophet turned to Mu'adh and said: "Are you a troublemaker? Are you a troublemaker? Do not prolong the prayer for them. Recite 'Glorify the Name of your Lord Most High,' 'By the sun and its brightness,' and similar chapters."
