حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، سَلَمَةَ بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ذَهَبَ إِلَى بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ لِيُصْلِحَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَحَانَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَجَاءَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ فَقَالَ أَتُصَلِّي لِلنَّاسِ فَأُقِيمَ قَالَ نَعَمْ . فَصَلَّى أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَالنَّاسُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَتَخَلَّصَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ فِي الصَّفِّ فَصَفَّقَ النَّاسُ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لاَ يَلْتَفِتُ فِي صَلاَتِهِ فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرَ النَّاسُ مِنَ التَّصْفِيقِ الْتَفَتَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَرَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنِ امْكُثْ مَكَانَكَ فَرَفَعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَدَيْهِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ عَلَى مَا أَمَرَهُ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ اسْتَأْخَرَ حَتَّى اسْتَوَى فِي الصَّفِّ وَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَقَالَ " يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَثْبُتَ إِذْ أَمَرْتُكَ " . فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَا كَانَ لاِبْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَا لِي رَأَيْتُكُمْ أَكْثَرْتُمْ مِنَ التَّصْفِيحِ مَنْ نَابَهُ شَىْءٌ فِي صَلاَتِهِ فَلْيُسَبِّحْ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا سَبَّحَ الْتُفِتَ إِلَيْهِ وَإِنَّمَا التَّصْفِيحُ لِلنِّسَاءِ " .


Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Hazim Salama ibn Dinarfrom Sahl ibn Said as-Saidi that the Messenger of Allah, may Allahbless him and grant him peace, went to the tribe of Bani Amr ibn Awfto settle their disputes .The time for the prayer came and themuadhdhin came to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq and said, "Could you lead thepeople in prayer and I will say the iqama?" He said, "Yes," and AbuBakr prayed. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant himpeace, came back while the people were praying, and approached andjoined the row. People clapped, but Abu Bakr did not turn round. Thepeople increased their clapping, and Abu Bakr turned round and saw theMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and theMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, indicatedto him to stay in his place. Abu Bakr raised his hands and praisedAllah that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant himpeace, had told him to do that. Then he drew back until he was in therow, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant himpeace, stepped forward and led the prayer. When he had finished hesaid, "Abu Bakr, what stopped you from staying put like I told you?"Abu Bakr said, "It is not for Ibn Abi Quhafa to pray in front of theMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace."The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,"Why did I see you all clapping so much? If something happens to youin the prayer you should say 'Subhana-llah' (Glory be to Allah), andwhen you say 'Subhana-llah' you will be heard. Clapping is only forwomen."
