مُسْنَدُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 129
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The iqāmah was called, and a man came running to join [the congregation] but arrived out of breath. When he reached the row he said: “Al-ḥamdu lillāhi ḥamdan kathīran ṭayyiban mubārakan fīh All praise is due to Allah, abundant, pure, and blessed praise.” After the Messenger of Allah ﷺ completed the prayer, he asked, “Which one of you said those words?” The people remained silent, so he asked again: “Which one of you said them? For what he said was good; he said nothing wrong.” The man replied, “O Messenger of Allah, I hurried here and was out of breath when I reached the row, so I said what I said.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “I saw twelve angels competing to see which of them would carry those words up [to Allah].” Then he said: “When any of you comes to prayer, let him walk at a calm pace; let him pray whatever [rakʿahs] he catches [with the imam] and make up what he has missed.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 129
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، وَسَهْلُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْمَعْنَى، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ يَسْعَى فَانْتَهَى وَقَدْ حَفَزَهُ النَّفَسُ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَى الصَّفِّ قَالَ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ. فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ: «أَيُّكُمُ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ؟» فَسَكَتَ الْقَوْمُ، فَقَالَ: «أَيُّكُمُ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ، فَإِنَّهُ قَالَ خَيْرًا وَلَمْ يَقُلْ بَأْسًا». قَالَ الرَّجُلُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَنَا أَسْرَعْتُ الْمَشْيَ، فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى الصَّفِّ، فَقُلْتُ الَّذِي قُلْتُ. قَالَ: «لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مَلَكًا يَبْتَدِرُونَهَا أَيُّهُمْ يَرْفَعُهَا». ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيَمْشِ عَلَى هِينَتِهِ، فَلْيُصَلِّ مَا أَدْرَكَ، وَلْيَقْضِ مَا سُبِقَهُ».
