حَدَّثَنَا مَكِّيٌّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ حَرْبِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ: جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ،، ، فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ، وَتَلَا آيَةً وَإِلَى جَنْبِي أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: يَا أُبَيُّ، مَتَى أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ؟ قَالَ: فَأَبَى أَنْ يُكَلِّمَنِي، ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ فَأَبَى أَنْ يُكَلِّمَنِي، حَتَّى نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لِي أُبَيٌّ: مَا لَكَ مِنْ جُمُعَتِكَ إِلَّا مَا لَغَيْتَ. فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جِئْتُهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، فَقُلْتُ: أَيْ رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّكَ تَلَوْتَ آيَةً وَإِلَى جَنْبِي أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ مَتَى أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ؟ فَأَبَى أَنْ يُكَلِّمَنِي حَتَّى إِذَا نَزَلْتَ زَعَمَ أُبَيٌّ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِي مِنْ جُمُعَتِي إِلَّا مَا لَغَيْتُ؟ فَقَالَ: " صَدَقَ أُبَيٌّ فَإِذَا سَمِعْتَ إِمَامَكَ يَتَكَلَّمُ فَأَنْصِتْ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that once on a Friday, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) recited Surah Bara'ah from the pulpit. At that time, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) was standing and mentioning the favors of Allah. Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting in front of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), and with him were Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) and Abu Dharr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) also sitting. One of them pinched Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "Ubayy! When was this Surah revealed? I am hearing it just now." Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) signaled him to remain silent. After the prayer was over, he said, "I asked you when this Surah was revealed, so why did you not tell me?" Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "Today your prayer is only as much as the vain act you did in it." He went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and mentioned what Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) had said. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Ubayy has spoken the truth. When you see the Imam speaking, remain silent until he finishes."
