حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، سَمِعَهُ مِنْ جَابِرٍ، كَانَ مُعَاذٌ يُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فَيَؤُمُّنَا - وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فَيُصَلِّي بِقَوْمِهِ - فَأَخَّرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةً (١) - وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: الصَّلَاةَ - وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: الْعِشَاءَ - فَصَلَّى مُعَاذٌ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ يَؤمُّ (٢) قَوْمَهُ، فَقَرَأَ الْبَقَرَةَ، فَاعْتَزَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَصَلَّى، فَقِيلَ: نَافَقْتَ يَا فُلَانُ، قَالَ: مَا نَافَقْتُ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ مُعَاذًا يُصَلِّي مَعَكَ، ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فَيَؤُمُّنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ أَصْحَابُ نَوَاضِحَ، وَنَعْمَلُ بِأَيْدِينَا، وَإِنَّهُ جَاءَ (٣) يَؤُمُّنَا فَقَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ، فَقَالَ: " يَا مُعَاذُ، أَفَتَّانٌ أَنْتَ؟ أَفَتَّانٌ أَنْتَ؟ اقْرَأْ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا "،، ، قَالَ أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ: بِسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى، وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى، فَذَكَرْنَا لِعَمْرٍو، فَقَالَ: أُرَاهُ قَدْ ذَكَرَهُ (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that Mu'adh bin Jabal used to first perform the 'Isha prayer with the Prophet (ﷺ), then go to his own people and lead them in the same prayer. On one occasion, the Prophet (ﷺ) delayed the 'Isha prayer. Mu'adh prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ), and then went to his people and began reciting Surah Al-Baqarah. One man, seeing this, performed his own prayer and left. Later, someone said to him, "You have become a hypocrite." He replied, "I am not a hypocrite." Then he went and mentioned this matter to the Prophet (ﷺ): "Mu'adh prays with you, then comes back and leads us in prayer. We are people who work in the fields and labor with our own hands. He came and led us in prayer and started with Surah Al-Baqarah." The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him twice, "Mu'adh, do you want to put people to trial? Why do you not recite Surah Al-A'la and Surah Ash-Shams?"
