باب الاِضْطِجَاعِ بَعْدَهَا

English narration

Narrated by أبو هريرة الدوسي

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ said: If any of you prays two rak'ahs before the dawn prayer, he should lie at his right side. Marwan ibn al-Hakam said to him: Is it not enough that one of us walks to the mosque until he lies at his right side? According to the version of Ubaydullah, he (Abu Hurairah) replied: No. This statement (of Abu Hurairah) reached Ibn Umar. He said: Abu Hurairah exceed limits on himself. He was asked: Do you look askance at what he says? He replied: No, but he dared and we showed cowardice. This (criticism of Ibn Umar) reached Abu Hurairah. He said: What is my sin if I remembered and they forgot?

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ وَعُبَيْدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ ، قَالُوا : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمُ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الصُّبْحِ فَلْيَضْطَجِعْ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ

" ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مَرْوَانُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ : أَمَا يُجْزِئُ أَحَدَنَا مَمْشَاهُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى يَضْطَجِعَ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ ؟ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ : قَالَ : " لَا " ، قَالَ : فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ، فَقَالَ : أَكْثَرَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ ، قَالَ : فَقِيلَ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ : هَلْ تُنْكِرُ شَيْئًا مِمَّا يَقُولُ ؟ قَالَ : لَا ، وَلَكِنَّهُ اجْتَرَأَ وَجَبُنَّا ، قَالَ : فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : فَمَا ذَنْبِي إِنْ كُنْتُ حَفِظْتُ وَنَسَوْا ؟ .
