1007. Al-Azraq bin Qais reported: "An Imām with the Kunyah of Abū Rimthah led us in prayer then he said: 'I prayed this prayer — or a prayer similar to it — with the Prophet ﷺ.' He said: 'And Abū Bakr and 'Umar would stand in the front row towards his right. There was a man (among us) who had caught the first Takbīr of the prayer. So the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ prayed the prayer, and said the Taslīm to his right and left, and we could see the whiteness of his cheeks. Then he turned (around) just as Abū Rimtha' — meaning himself — did. The man who had caught the first Takbīr stood up to pray voluntary prayers, but 'Umar rushed at him, grabbed him by the shoulders, and shook him. Then he said: "Sit down, for the only reason that the People of the Book perished was due to the fact that their was no seperation between their prayers." The Prophet ﷺ raised his eyes (towards them) and said: "Allāh has corrected (him) through you, O son of Khaṭṭāb." (٩) Abū Dāwud said: (Some narrators) mentioned the Kunyah as Abū Urmayyah instead of Abū Rimthah.

1007 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَشْعَثُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ، عَنِ الْمِنْهَالِ بْنِ خَلِيفَةَ، عَنِ الْأَزْرَقِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ: صَلَّى بِنَا إِمَامٌ لَنَا يُكْنَى أَبَا رِمْثَةَ، فَقَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ - أَوْ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ - مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرُ يَقُومَانِ فِي الصَّفِّ الْمُقَدَّمِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ قَدْ شَهِدَ التَّكْبِيرَةَ الْأُولَى مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ، فَصَلَّى نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا بَيَاضَ خَدَّيْهِ، ثُمَّ انْفَتَلَ كَانْفِتَالِ أَبِي رِمْثَةَ - يَعْنِي - فَقَامَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي أَدْرَكَ مَعَهُ التَّكْبِيرَةَ الْأُولَى مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ يَشْفَعُ، فَوَثَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ، فَأَخَذَ بِمَنْكِبِهِ فَهَزَّهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: اجْلِسْ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُهْلِكْ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ صَلَوَاتِهِمْ فَصْلٌ، فَرَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَصَرَهُ، فَقَالَ: «أَصَابَ اللَّهُ بِكَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: " وَقَدْ قِيلَ: أَبُو أُمَيَّةَ مَكَانَ أَبِي رِمْثَةَ "
