1201. Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: The Prophet ﷺ went out to affect a reconciliation between the tribes of Banī 'Amr bin 'Aūf and the time for the Salāt (prayer) became due; Bilāl went to Abū Bakr رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ and said, "The Prophet ﷺ is detained. Will you lead the people in the Salāt (prayer)?" Abū Bakr replied, "Yes, if you wish." So, Bilāl pronounced the Iqāma and Abū Bakr رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ led the Salāt (prayer). In the meantime the Prophet ﷺ came crossing the rows [of the people offering Salāt (prayer)] till he stood in the first row and the people started clapping. Abū Bakr رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ never looked hither and thither during the Salāt (prayer), but when the people clapped too much, he looked back and saw the Prophet ﷺ in the (first) row. The Prophet ﷺ waved him to remain at his place, but Abū Bakr raised both his hands and said: Al-Hamdu-lillāh (i.e. all the praises be to Allāh) and then retreated and the Prophet ﷺ went forward and led the Salāt (prayer). (See Hadīth No. 1203 & 1204).

1201 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ العَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: «خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصْلِحُ بَيْنَ بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفِ بْنِ الحَارِثِ»، وَحَانَتِ الصَّلاَةُ، فَجَاءَ بِلاَلٌ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، فَقَالَ: حُبِسَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَتَؤُمُّ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ ، إِنْ شِئْتُمْ، فَأَقَامَ بِلاَلٌ الصَّلاَةَ، فَتَقَدَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، فَصَلَّى «فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْشِي فِي الصُّفُوفِ يَشُقُّهَا شَقًّا، حَتَّى قَامَ فِي الصَّفِّ الأَوَّلِ»، فَأَخَذَ النَّاسُ بِالتَّصْفِيحِ - قَالَ سَهْلٌ: هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا التَّصْفِيحُ؟ هُوَ التَّصْفِيقُ - وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، لاَ يَلْتَفِتُ فِي صَلاَتِهِ، فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرُوا التَفَتَ، فَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الصَّفِّ، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ مَكَانَكَ، فَرَفَعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَدَيْهِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ القَهْقَرَى وَرَاءَهُ، «وَتَقَدَّمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَلَّى»
