705. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh Al-Anṣārī: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: Once a man was driving two Nādiha (camels used for agricultural purposes) and night had fallen. He found Mu'ādḥ offering Salāt (prayers) so he made his camel kneel and joined Mu'ādḥ in Salāt. The latter recited Sūrat Al-Baqarah or Sūrat An-Nisā, (so) the man left the Salāt and went away. When he came to know that Mu'ādḥ had criticised him, he went to the Prophet ﷺ and complained against Mu'ādḥ. The Prophet ﷺ said thrice, "O Mu'ādḥ! Are you putting the people to trial? It would have been better if you had recited Sabbih Isma Rabbikal-a'lā (Sūrah 87), Waṣh-Shamsi waḍu-ḥāhā (Sūrah 91), or Wal-laili Idhā yaghshā (Sūrah 92)", for the old, the weak and the one who is in a state that requires urgent relief offers Salāt behind you." Jābir said that Mu'ādḥ recited Sūrat Al-Baqarah in the 'Ishā' prayer.

705 - حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَارِبُ بْنُ دِثَارٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيَّ، قَالَ: أَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ بِنَاضِحَيْنِ وَقَدْ جَنَحَ اللَّيْلُ، فَوَافَقَ مُعَاذًا يُصَلِّي، فَتَرَكَ نَاضِحَهُ وَأَقْبَلَ إِلَى مُعَاذٍ، فَقَرَأَ بِسُورَةِ البَقَرَةِ - أَوِ النِّسَاءِ - فَانْطَلَقَ الرَّجُلُ وَبَلَغَهُ أَنَّ مُعَاذًا نَالَ مِنْهُ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ مُعَاذًا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا مُعَاذُ، أَفَتَّانٌ أَنْتَ» - أَوْ «أَفَاتِنٌ» - ثَلاَثَ مِرَارٍ: «فَلَوْلاَ صَلَّيْتَ بِسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ، وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا، وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى، فَإِنَّهُ يُصَلِّي وَرَاءَكَ الكَبِيرُ وَالضَّعِيفُ وَذُو الحَاجَةِ» أَحْسِبُ هَذَا فِي الحَدِيثِ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: وَتَابَعَهُ سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَسْرُوقٍ ، وَمِسْعَرٌ، وَالشَّيْبَانِيُّ، قَالَ عَمْرٌو، وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مِقْسَمٍ، وَأَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ: عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَرَأَ مُعَاذٌ فِي العِشَاءِ بِالْبَقَرَةِ، وَتَابَعَهُ الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ مُحَارِبٍ
