Sahih Muslim — Prayers

Abu Huraira reported:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When the reciter (Imam) utters:" Not of those on whom (is Thine) wrath and not the erring ones," and (the person) behind him utters Amin and his utterance synchronises with that of the dwellers of heavens, all his previous sins would be pardoned

حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، حدثنا يعقوب، - يعني ابن عبد الرحمن - عن سهيل، عن ابيه، عن ابي هريرة، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " اذا قال القاري غير المغضوب عليهم ولا الضالين . فقال من خلفه امين . فوافق قوله قول اهل السماء غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبه

Anas b. Malik reported:The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) fell down from a horse and his right side was grazed. We went to him to inquire after his health when the time of prayer came. He led us in prayer in a sitting posture and we said prayer behind him sitting, and when he finished the prayer hesaid: The Imam is appointed only to be followed; so when he recites takbir, you should also recite that; when he prostrates, you should also prostrate; when he rises up, you should also rise up, and when he said" God listens to him who praises Him," you should say:" Our Lord, to Thee be the praise," and when he prays sitting, all of you should pray sitting

A'isha reported:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) fell ill and some of his Companions came to inquire after his health. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said prayer sitting, while (his Companions) said it (behind him) standing. He (the Holy Prophet) directed them by his gesture to sit down, and they sat down (in prayer). After finishing the (prayer) he (the Holy Prophet) said: The Imam is appointed so that he should be followed, so bow down when he bows down, and rise upp when he rises up and say (prayer) sitting when he (the Imam) says (it) sitting

حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا عبدة بن سليمان، عن هشام، عن ابيه، عن عايشة، قالت اشتكى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فدخل عليه ناس من اصحابه يعودونه فصلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم جالسا فصلوا بصلاته قياما فاشار اليهم ان اجلسوا . فجلسوا فلما انصرف قال " انما جعل الامام ليوتم به فاذا ركع فاركعوا واذا رفع فارفعوا واذا صلى جالسا فصلوا جلوسا

This hadith is narrated with the same chain of transmitters by Hisham b. 'Urwa

حدثنا ابو الربيع الزهراني، حدثنا حماد يعني ابن زيد، ح وحدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، وابو كريب قالا حدثنا ابن نمير، ح وحدثنا ابن نمير، قال حدثنا ابي جميعا، عن هشام بن عروة، بهذا الاسناد نحوه

Jabir reported:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was ill and we said prayer behind him and he was sitting. And Abu Bakr was making audible to the people his takbir. As he paid his attention towards us he saw us standing and (directed us to sit down) with a gesture. So we sat down and said our prayer with his prayer in a sitting posture. After uttering salutation he said: You were at this time about to do an act like that of the Persians and the Romans. They stand before their kings while they sit, so don't do that; follow your Imams. If they say prayer standing, you should also do so, and if they say prayer sitting, you should also say prayer sitting

حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، حدثنا ليث، ح وحدثنا محمد بن رمح، اخبرنا الليث، عن ابي الزبير، عن جابر، قال اشتكى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فصلينا وراءه وهو قاعد وابو بكر يسمع الناس تكبيره فالتفت الينا فرانا قياما فاشار الينا فقعدنا فصلينا بصلاته قعودا فلما سلم قال " ان كدتم انفا لتفعلون فعل فارس والروم يقومون على ملوكهم وهم قعود فلا تفعلوا ايتموا بايمتكم ان صلى قايما فصلوا قياما وان صلى قاعدا فصلوا قعودا

Jabir said:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) led the prayer and Abu Bakr was behind him. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited the takbir, Abu Bakr also recited (it) in order to make it audible to us. And the rest of the hadith is like one transmitted by Laith

حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى، اخبرنا حميد بن عبد الرحمن الرواسي، عن ابيه، عن ابي الزبير، عن جابر، قال صلى بنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وابو بكر خلفه فاذا كبر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كبر ابو بكر ليسمعنا . ثم ذكر نحو حديث الليث

Abu Huraira reported:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The Imam is appointed, so that he should be followed, so don't be at variance with him. Recite takbir when he recites it; bow down when he bows down and when he says:" Allah listens to him who praises Him," say:" O Allah, our Lord, to Thee be the Praise." And when he (the Imam) prostrates, you should also prostrate, and when he says prayer sitting, you should all observe prayer sitting

حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، حدثنا المغيرة، - يعني الحزامي - عن ابي الزناد، عن الاعرج، عن ابي هريرة، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " انما الامام ليوتم به فلا تختلفوا عليه فاذا كبر فكبروا واذا ركع فاركعوا واذا قال سمع الله لمن حمده . فقولوا اللهم ربنا لك الحمد . واذا سجد فاسجدوا واذا صلى جالسا فصلوا جلوسا اجمعون

A hadith like this has been transmitted by Hammam b. Munabbih from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the authority of Abu Huraira

حدثنا محمد بن رافع، حدثنا عبد الرزاق، حدثنا معمر، عن همام بن منبه، عن ابي هريرة، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بمثله

Abu Huraira reported:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) while teaching us (the principles of faith), said: Do not try to go ahead of the Imam, recite takbir when he recites it, and when he says: "Nor of those who err" you should say Amin, bow down when he bows down, and when he says: "Allah listens to him who praises Him" say: "O Allah, our Lord, to Thee be the praise

حدثنا اسحاق بن ابراهيم، وابن، خشرم قالا اخبرنا عيسى بن يونس، حدثنا الاعمش، عن ابي صالح، عن ابي هريرة، قال كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يعلمنا يقول " لا تبادروا الامام اذا كبر فكبروا واذا قال ولا الضالين . فقولوا امين . واذا ركع فاركعوا واذا قال سمع الله لمن حمده . فقولوا اللهم ربنا لك الحمد

Abu Huraira reported from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (a hadith) like it, except the words:" Nor of those who err, say Amin" and added:" And don't rise up ahead of him

حدثنا قتيبة، حدثنا عبد العزيز، - يعني الدراوردي - عن سهيل بن ابي صالح، عن ابيه، عن ابي هريرة، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بنحوه الا قوله " ولا الضالين . فقولوا امين " . وزاد " ولا ترفعوا قبله

Abu Huraira reported:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Verily the Imam is a shield, say prayer sitting when he says prayer sitting. And when he says:" Allah listens to him who praises Him," say:" O Allah, our Lord, to Thee be the praise." and when the utterance of the people of the earth synchronises with that of the beings of heaven (angels), all the previous sins would be pardoned

حدثنا محمد بن بشار، حدثنا محمد بن جعفر، حدثنا شعبة، ح وحدثنا عبيد الله بن معاذ، - واللفظ له - حدثنا ابي، حدثنا شعبة، عن يعلى، - وهو ابن عطاء - سمع ابا علقمة، سمع ابا هريرة، يقول قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " انما الامام جنة فاذا صلى قاعدا فصلوا قعودا واذا قال سمع الله لمن حمده . فقولوا اللهم ربنا لك الحمد . فاذا وافق قول اهل الارض قول اهل السماء غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبه

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying:The Imam is appointed to be followed. So recite takbir when he recites it, and bow down when he bows down and when he utters:" Allah listens to him who praises Him," say" O Allah, our Lord, for Thee be the praise." And when he prays, standing, you should pray standing. And when he prays sitting, all of you should pray sitting

حدثني ابو الطاهر، حدثنا ابن وهب، عن حيوة، ان ابا يونس، مولى ابي هريرة حدثه قال سمعت ابا هريرة، يقول عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم انه قال " انما جعل الامام ليوتم به فاذا كبر فكبروا واذا ركع فاركعوا واذا قال سمع الله لمن حمده . فقولوا اللهم ربنا لك الحمد . واذا صلى قايما فصلوا قياما واذا صلى قاعدا فصلوا قعودا اجمعون

Ubaidullah b. Abdullah reported:I visited 'A'isha and asked her to tell about the illness of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). She agreed and said: The Apostle (ﷺ) was seriously ill and he asked whether the people had prayed. We said: No, they are waiting for you, Messenger of Allah. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Put some water in the tub for me. We did accordingly and he (the Holy Prophet) took a bath;and, when he was about to move with difficulty, he fainted. When he came round, he again said: Have the people said prayer? We said: No, they are waiting for you, Messenger of Allah. He (the Holy Prophet) again said: Put some water for me in the tub. We did accordingly and he took a bag, but when he was about to move with difficultyhe fainted. When he came round, he asked whether the people had prayed. We said: No, they are waiting for you, Messenger of Allah. He said: Put some water for me in the tub. We did accordingly and he took a bath and he was about to move with difficulty when he fainted. When he came roundhe said: Have the people saidprayer? We said: No, they are waiting for you, Messenger of Allah. She ('A'isha) said: The people were staying in the mosque and waiting for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to lead the last (night) prayer. She ('A'isha) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent (instructions) to Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer. When the messenger came, he told him (Abd Bakr): The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has ordered you to lead the people in prayer. Abu Bakr who was a man of very tenderly feelings asked Umar to lead the prayer. 'Umar said: You are more entitled to that. Abu Bakr led the prayers during those days. Afterwards the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) felt some relief and he went out supported by two men, one of them was al-'Abbas, to the noon prayer. Abu Bakr was leading the people in prayer. When Abu Bakr saw him. he began to withdraw, but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) told him not to withdraw. He told his two (companions) to seat him down beside him (Abu Bakr). They seated him by the side of Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr said the prayer standing while following the prayer of the Apostle (ﷺ) and the people Bald prayer (standing) while following the prayer of Abu Bakr. The Apostle (ﷺ) was seated. Ubaidullah said: I visited 'Abdullah b. 'Abbas, and said: Should I submit to you what 'A'isha had told about the illness of the Apostle (ﷺ)? He said: Go ahead. I submitted to him what had been transmitted by her ('A'isha). He objected to none of it, only asking whether she had named to him the man who accompanied al-'Abbas. I said: No. He said: It was 'Ali

A'isha reported:It was in the house ofMaimuna that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) first fell ill. He asked permission from his wives to stay in her ('A'isha's) house during his illness. They granted him permission. She ('A'isha) narrated: He (the Holy Prophet) went out (for prayer) with his hand over al-Fadl b. 'Abbas and on the other hand there was another person and (due to weakness) his feet dragged on the earth. 'Ubaidullah said: I narrated this hadith to the son of 'Abbas ('Abdullah b. 'Abbas) and he said: Do you know who the man was whose name 'A'isha did not mention? It was 'Ali

حدثنا محمد بن رافع، وعبد بن حميد، - واللفظ لابن رافع - قالا حدثنا عبد الرزاق، اخبرنا معمر، قال قال الزهري واخبرني عبيد الله بن عبد الله بن عتبة، ان عايشة، اخبرته قالت، اول ما اشتكى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في بيت ميمونة فاستاذن ازواجه ان يمرض في بيتها واذن له - قالت - فخرج ويد له على الفضل بن عباس ويد له على رجل اخر وهو يخط برجليه في الارض . فقال عبيد الله فحدثت به ابن عباس فقال اتدري من الرجل الذي لم تسم عايشة هو علي

A'isha, the wife of the Apostle (ﷺ), said:When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) fell ill and his illness became serious, he asked permission from his wives to stay in my house during his illness. They gave him permission to do so. He stepped out (of'A'isha's apartment for prayer) supported by two persons. (He was so much weak) that his feet dragged on the ground and he was being supported by 'Abbas b. 'Abd al-Muttalib and another person. 'Ubaidullah said: I informed 'Abdullah (b. 'Abbas) about that which 'A'isha had said. 'Abdullah b. 'Abbas said: Do you know the man whose name 'A'isha did not mention? He said: No. Ibn 'Abbas said: It was 'Ali

حدثني عبد الملك بن شعيب بن الليث، حدثني ابي، عن جدي، قال حدثني عقيل بن خالد، قال ابن شهاب اخبرني عبيد الله بن عبد الله بن عتبة بن مسعود، ان عايشة، زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قالت لما ثقل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم واشتد به وجعه استاذن ازواجه ان يمرض في بيتي فاذن له فخرج بين رجلين تخط رجلاه في الارض بين عباس بن عبد المطلب وبين رجل اخر . قال عبيد الله فاخبرت عبد الله بالذي قالت عايشة فقال لي عبد الله بن عباس هل تدري من الرجل الاخر الذي لم تسم عايشة قال قلت لا . قال ابن عباس هو علي

A'isha, the wife of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), said:I tried to dissuade the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) from it (i. e. from appointing Abu Bakr as the Imam.) and my insistence upon it was not due to the fact that I entertained any apprehension in my mind that the people would not love the man who would occupy his (Prophet's) place (i. e. who would be appointed as his caliph) and I feared that the people would be superstitious about one who would occupy his place. I, therefore, desired that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) should leave Abu Bakr aside in this matter

حدثنا عبد الملك بن شعيب بن الليث، حدثني ابي، عن جدي، حدثني عقيل بن خالد، قال قال ابن شهاب اخبرني عبيد الله بن عبد الله بن عتبة بن مسعود، ان عايشة، زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قالت لقد راجعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في ذلك وما حملني على كثرة مراجعته الا انه لم يقع في قلبي ان يحب الناس بعده رجلا قام مقامه ابدا والا اني كنت ارى انه لن يقوم مقامه احد الا تشاءم الناس به فاردت ان يعدل ذلك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن ابي بكر
