حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ بَهْرَامَ الْفَزَارِيُّ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ غَنْمٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا مَالِكٍ الْأَشْعَرِيَّ جَمَعَ قَوْمَهُ فَقَالَ: " يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ اجْتَمِعُوا وَاجْمَعُوا نِسَاءَكُمْ، وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ أُعَلِّمْكُمْ صَلَاةَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّتِي صَلَّى لَنَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَاجْتَمَعُوا، وَجَمَعُوا نِسَاءَهُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَهُمْ، فَتَوَضَّأَ وَأَرَاهُمْ كَيْفَ يَتَوَضَّأُ، فَأَحْصَى الْوُضُوءَ إِلَى أَمَاكِنِهِ حَتَّى لَمَّا أَنْ فَاءَ الْفَيْءُ، وَانْكَسَرَ الظِّلُّ قَامَ، فَأَذَّنَ فَصَفَّ الرِّجَالَ فِي أَدْنَى الصَّفِّ، وَصَفَّ الْوِلْدَانَ خَلْفَهُمْ، وَصَفَّ النِّسَاءَ خَلْفَ الْوِلْدَانِ، ثُمَّ أَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ، فَتَقَدَّمَ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَكَبَّرَ، فَقَرَأَ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ يُسِرُّهُمَا، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَرَكَعَ فَقَالَ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، وَاسْتَوَى قَائِمًا، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ، وَخَرَّ سَاجِدًا، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَسَجَدَ، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَانْتَهَضَ قَائِمًا، فَكَانَ تَكْبِيرُهُ فِي أَوَّلِ رَكْعَةٍ سِتَّ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ، وَكَبَّرَ حِينَ قَامَ إِلَى الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ أَقْبَلَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ بِوَجْهِهِ، فَقَالَ: احْفَظُوا تَكْبِيرِي، وَتَعَلَّمُوا رُكُوعِي وَسُجُودِي؛ فَإِنَّهَا صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّتِي كَانَ يُصَلِّي لَنَا كَذَي السَّاعَةِ مِنَ النَّهَارِ "، ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ أَقْبَلَ إِلَى النَّاسِ بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ: " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اسْمَعُوا وَاعْقِلُوا، وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ لِلَّهِ عِبَادًا لَيْسُوا بِأَنْبِيَاءَ وَلَا شُهَدَاءَ يَغْبِطُهُمْ، النَّبِيُّونَ وَالشُّهَدَاءُ عَلَى مَجَالِسِهِمْ وَقُرْبِهِمْ مِنَ اللهِ ". فَجَثَى (١) رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ مِنْ قَاصِيَةِ النَّاسِ، وَأَلْوَى بِيَدِهِ إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ نَاسٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ لَيْسُوا بِأَنْبِيَاءَ وَلَا شُهَدَاءَ يَغْبِطُهُمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَالشُّهَدَاءُ عَلَى مَجَالِسِهِمْ وَقُرْبِهِمْ مِنَ اللهِ انْعَتْهُمْ لَنَا حَلِّمْهُمْ لَنَا (٢) ، يَعْنِي صِفْهُمْ لَنَا، شَكِّلْهُمْ لَنَا (٣) فَسُرَّ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، لِسُؤَالِ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " هُمْ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَفْنَاءِ النَّاسِ وَنَوَازِعِ الْقَبَائِلِ لَمْ تَصِلْ بَيْنَهُمْ أَرْحَامٌ مُتَقَارِبَةٌ تَحَابُّوا فِي اللهِ وَتَصَافَوْا، يَضَعُ اللهُ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَنَابِرَ مِنْ نُورٍ فَيُجْلِسُهُمْ عَلَيْهَا فَيَجْعَلُ وُجُوهَهُمْ نُورًا، وَثِيَابَهُمْ نُورًا، يَفْزَعُ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا يَفْزَعُونَ، وَهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ اللهِ الَّذِينَ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ " (٤)، ،

Abu Malik Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) once gathered his people and said, "O group of Ash'aris! Gather together yourselves and also gather your wives and children so that I may teach you the prayer of the Prophet (ﷺ), the same prayer that the Prophet (ﷺ) taught us in Madinah." So they all gathered together and brought their wives and children as well. Then he demonstrated ablution to the people, performing it with great care on every limb, ensuring that all parts were thoroughly washed. When the shadow began to return, he stood up and gave the call to prayer (adhan). Then, first, he arranged the rows of men, behind them the children, and behind them the women. Then he had the iqamah called and stepped forward to begin the prayer. First, he raised both hands and said the takbir, then recited Surah Al-Fatihah and another surah quietly, then said the takbir and went into bowing (ruku'), said "Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi" three times, then said "Sami' Allahu liman hamidah" and stood up straight, then said the takbir and went into prostration (sajdah), then said the takbir and performed the second prostration, then said the takbir and stood up straight. In this way, there were six takbirs in the first rak'ah, and he also said the takbir while standing for the second rak'ah. After finishing the prayer, he turned towards his people and said, "Remember my takbirs and learn my bowing and prostration, for this is the same prayer of the Prophet (ﷺ) that he used to teach us at that time." One day, in the same way, after finishing the prayer, the Prophet (ﷺ) turned his blessed face towards the people and said, "O people! Listen, understand, and be certain that there are some servants of Allah who will not be prophets or martyrs, but even the prophets and martyrs will envy them when they see their closeness to Allah and their position." Upon this, a Bedouin who was sitting at the very end knelt on his knees and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Please describe their qualities to us." The Prophet (ﷺ) was pleased to hear this question from the Bedouin and said, "They will be people whose lineage will not be well-known among the people, nor will they belong to any famous tribe, but will be related to foreign tribes, and there will be no close kinship among them. They will love and form ranks with each other for the sake of Allah. On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will place pulpits of light for them and seat them upon them. Their faces will be radiant, and their garments will be of light. On the Day of Resurrection, all people will be afraid, but they will not be afraid. These are the friends of Allah, upon whom there will be no fear, nor will they grieve."
