2693. Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd رضي الله عنه: Once the people of Quba' fought with each other till they threw stones on each other. When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was informed about it, he said, “Let us go to bring about a (re)conciliation between them.” he turned round and saw the Prophet ﷺ standing behind him. The Prophet ﷺ beckoned him with his hand to keep on offering Salāt (prayer) where he was. Abū Bakr raised his hand and praised Allāh and then retreated till he came in the (first) row, and the Prophet ﷺ went ahead and lead the people in the Salāt (prayer). When the Prophet ﷺ finished the Salāt (prayer), he turned towards the people and said, "O people! When something happens to you during the Salāt (prayer), you start clapping, infant clapping is (permissible) for women only. If something happens to one of you in his Salāt (prayer), he should say: 'Subhan Allāh', (Glorified be Allāh), for whoever hears him (saying so) will direct his attention towards him. O Abū Bakr! What prevented you from leading the people in the Salāt (prayer) when I beckoned to you (to continue)?" Abū Bakr replied, "It did not befit the son of Abū Quḥāfa to lead the Salāt (prayer) in front of the Prophet ﷺ."
