[1050] 186 - (468) 'Uthmân bin Abî Al-'Âṣ Ath-Thaqafî narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said to him: "Lead your people in prayer." He said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, I have some misgivings about that.' He said: 'Come closer.' So I sat before him and he placed his hand in the center of my chest, then he said: 'Turn around.' Then he placed (his hand) on my back, between my shoulder blades. Then he said: 'Lead your people in prayer. Whoever leads people in prayer, let him make it brief, for among them are the elderly, among them are the sick, and among them are those who have urgent needs. And when one of you offers prayer alone, let him pray however he wishes."

186 - (468) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ طَلْحَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَاصِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ: «أُمَّ قَوْمَكَ» قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي أَجِدُ فِي نَفْسِي شَيْئًا قَالَ: «ادْنُهْ» فَجَلَّسَنِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، ثُمَّ وَضَعَ كَفَّهُ فِي صَدْرِي بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيَّ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: «تَحَوَّلْ» فَوَضَعَهَا فِي ظَهْرِي بَيْنَ كَتِفَيَّ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أُمَّ قَوْمَكَ. فَمَنْ أَمَّ قَوْمًا فَلْيُخَفِّفْ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الْكَبِيرَ، وَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الْمَرِيضَ، وَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الضَّعِيفَ، وَإِنَّ فِيهِمْ ذَا الْحَاجَةِ، وَإِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ وَحْدَهُ، فَلْيُصَلِّ كَيْفَ شَاءَ»
