حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، أَنَّ مَالِكَ بْنَ الْحُوَيْرِثِ

قَالَ لأَصْحَابِهِ أَلَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ صَلَاةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ وَذَاكَ فِي غَيْرِ حِينِ صَلَاةٍ، فَقَامَ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَكَبَّرَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَقَامَ هُنَيَّةً، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ هُنَيَّةً، فَصَلَّى صَلَاةَ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَلِمَةَ شَيْخِنَا هَذَا.

قَالَ أَيُّوبُ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ شَيْئًا لَمْ أَرَهُمْ يَفْعَلُونَهُ، كَانَ يَقْعُدُ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ وَالرَّابِعَةِ. قَالَ فَأَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَقَمْنَا عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ: «لَوْ رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَى أَهْلِيكُمْ صَلُّوا صَلَاةَ كَذَا فِي حِينِ كَذَا، صَلُّوا صَلَاةَ كَذَا فِي حِينِ كَذَا، فَإِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَلْيُؤَذِّنْ أَحَدُكُمْ وَلْيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَكْبَرُكُمْ»

Once Malik ibn al-Huwayrith said to his friends, “Shall I show you how the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to offer his prayers?” And it was not the time for any of the compulsory congregational prayers.

So he stood up (for the prayer) bowed and said the Takbir, then he raised his head and remained standing for a while and then prostrated and raised his head for a while (sat up for a while). He prayed like our Sheikh Amr Ibn Salamah.

(Aiyub said, “The latter used to do a thing which I did not see the people doing i.e. he used to sit between the third and the fourth raka). Malik ibn al-Huwayrith said, ‘We came to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) (after embracing Islam) and stayed with him.

He said to us, ‘When you go back to your families, pray such and such a prayer at such and such a time, pray such and such a prayer at such and such a time, and when there is the time for the prayer then only of you should pronounce the Adhan for the prayer and the oldest of you should lead the prayer.’’”

মালিক ইবনু হুয়াইরিস (রাযি.) বর্ণনা করেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -এর নিকট এসে কিছুদিন অবস্থান করলাম। তিনি আমাদের বললেন, তোমরা তোমাদের পরিবার পরিজনদের মধ্যে ফিরে যাবার পর অমুক সালাত অমুক সময়, অমুক সালাত অমুক সময় আদায় করবে। সময় হলে তোমাদের কেউ আযান দেবে এবং তোমাদের মধ্যে বয়োজ্যেষ্ঠ ব্যক্তি ইমামাত করবে।(৬২৮; মুসলিম ৬২৮)

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu An Nu'man] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hammad bin Zaid] dari [Ayyub] dari [Abu Qilabah] dari [Malik bin Al Huwairits] ia berkata kepada para sahabatnya, "Maukah kalian aku sampaikan cara shalat Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam?" padahal saat itu bukan pada waktu shalat. Malik kemudian berdiri lalu rukuk dan bertakbir, kemudian mengangkat kepalanya lalu berdiri dan berdiam sejenak.

Kemudian dia sujud, lalu mengangkat kepalanya, lalu (duduk) sejenak. Dia shalat seperti shalatnya 'Amru bin Salamah, guru kita ini." Ayyub berkata, "Dia mengerjakan sesuatu yang tidak pernah aku lihat orang-orang melakukannya, dia duduk pada setiap akan berdiri ke rakaat ketiga dan keempat. Maka kami menemui Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dan berdiam di sisi beliau.

Beliau kemudian bersabda: "Jika kalian kembali kepada keluarga kalian, maka shalatlah dengan cara ini pada waktu begini, dan shalat ini pada waktu begini. Jika telah datang waktu shalat maka hendaklah seseorang dari kalian adzan, dan hendaklah yang mengimami shalat adalah yang paling tua di antara kalian

Eyyûb es-Sahtiyânî, Ebû Kılâbe (r.a.)'ın şöyle dediğini nakletmiştir: "Bir gün Malik İbnü'l-Huveyris yanında bulunan cemaate - göstereceği namazın vakti olmadığı halde 'Size Resûlullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'm nasıl namaz kıldırdığını göstermek istiyorum' diyerek kalktı ve namaza durdu. Sonra tekbir getirerek rükûya gitti, sonra başını kaldırıp rükûdan doğruldu ve bir süre kıyamda bekledi.

Sonra secdeye gitti ve ardından doğrulup bir süre bekledi. Bize hocamız Amr İbn Seleme'nin kıldırdığı gibi bir namaz kıldırdı." Eyyûb şöyle demiştir: "Amr İbn Seleme benim başkalarından görmediğim bir şey yapardı; üçüncü veya dördüncü rekatta otururdu." [-819-] Malik İbn Huveyris şöyle demiştir: "Biz gençler olarak Resûlullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'e gelip onun yanında kalmıştık.

Bize bir süre sonra şöyle buyurdu; 'Memleketinize ailelerinizin yanına dönseniz ne kadar güzel olur; onlara namazların nasıl ve hangi vakitlerde kılınacağını öğretip namaz kıldırın. Namaz vakti girince içinizden birisi ezan okusun ve yaşça en büyük olanınız da İmamlığa geçip namazı kıldırsın

What it means

Ayyūb al-Sakhtiyāni reports from Abu Qilābah al-Jarmi who said: "Why do you not meet ‘Amr ibn Salamah and ask him about the Hadīths that he knows?" He said: "I met ‘Amr ibn Salamah and asked him.

So ‘Amr ibn Salamah said: 'We were in a place that we would stay in, and people would pass by. When riders passed by us, we would ask them about the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and the stance of the Arabs toward him. They would say that he claims that Allah has sent him and revealed to him such and such from what they heard of the Qur’an.

So I would memorize that Qur’an perfectly as if it was instilled in my heart. The Arabs delayed their conversion to Islam until after Makkah was conquered. They would say: ‘Leave him and his Quraysh folks, for if he has victory over them, then he is a true Prophet.’ So when Makkah was conquered, each tribe hastened to convert, and my father was the first member of my tribe to embrace Islam.

He went to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). When he returned from him, he said: ‘By Allah, I have come to you from the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) for sure!’

He told them that the Prophet, may Allah's peace and blessings upon him, said to them: ‘Offer this prayer at this time and that prayer at that time. When the time for a prayer is due, let one of you call the Adhān, and let the one who knows the Qur’an most lead the prayer.’ They checked and found none with more Qur’an than me, for I used to meet the riders and learn the Qur’an from them.

So they made me their prayer leader although I was then six or seven years old. I was wearing a short garment that would recede on my body when I would prostrate. A lady from the tribe said: ‘Will you not cover the private parts of your reciter from us?’ So they bought me an apparel. I had never been so happy with anything as I was with that apparel.'"

This Hadīth does not indicate that covering one's private parts during prayer is not required, for it only tells the story of a certain incident. It is probable that this incident took place before those involved in it learned of the relevant ruling.
