6127. Narrated Al-Azraq bin Qais: We were in the city of Al-Ahwāz on the bank of a river which had dried up. Then Abū Barza Al-Aslamī came riding a horse and he started offering Ṣalāt (prayer) and let his horse loose. The horse ran away, so Abū Barza interrupted his Ṣalāt (prayer) and went after the horse till he caught it and brought it, and then he offered his Ṣalāt (prayer). There was a man amongst us who was (from the Khawārij) having a different opinion. He came saying, "Look at this old man! He left his Ṣalāt (prayer) because of a horse." On that Abū Barza came to us and said, "Since the time I left Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, nobody has admonished me; my house is very far from this place, and if I had carried on offering Ṣalāt (prayer) and left my horse, I could not have reached my house till night." Then Abū Barza mentioned that he had been in the company of the Prophet ﷺ, and that he had seen his leniency.

6127 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ الأَزْرَقِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا عَلَى شَاطِئِ نَهَرٍ بِالأَهْوَازِ، قَدْ نَضَبَ عَنْهُ المَاءُ، فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَرْزَةَ الأَسْلَمِيُّ عَلَى فَرَسٍ، فَصَلَّى وَخَلَّى فَرَسَهُ، فَانْطَلَقَتِ الفَرَسُ، فَتَرَكَ صَلاَتَهُ وَتَبِعَهَا حَتَّى أَدْرَكَهَا، فَأَخَذَهَا ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَضَى صَلاَتَهُ، وَفِينَا رَجُلٌ لَهُ رَأْيٌ، فَأَقْبَلَ يَقُولُ: انْظُرُوا إِلَى هَذَا الشَّيْخِ، تَرَكَ صَلاَتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ فَرَسٍ، فَأَقْبَلَ فَقَالَ: مَا عَنَّفَنِي أَحَدٌ مُنْذُ فَارَقْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَالَ: إِنَّ مَنْزِلِي مُتَرَاخٍ، فَلَوْ صَلَّيْتُ وَتَرَكْتُهُ، لَمْ آتِ أَهْلِي إِلَى اللَّيْلِ، وَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ «قَدْ صَحِبَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرَأَى مِنْ تَيْسِيرِهِ»
