مَنْ جَلَسَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَنْتَظِرُ الصَّلاَةَ، وَفَضْلِ الْمَسَاجِدِ

Whoever sits in the mosque waiting for the prayer, and the virtue of mosques

سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ هَلِ اتَّخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَاتَمًا فَقَالَ نَعَمْ، أَخَّرَ لَيْلَةً صَلاَةَ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ بَعْدَ مَا صَلَّى فَقَالَ " صَلَّى النَّاسُ وَرَقَدُوا وَلَمْ تَزَالُوا فِي صَلاَةٍ مُنْذُ انْتَظَرْتُمُوهَا ". قَالَ فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَبِيصِ خَاتَمِهِ.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ

Translation

Humayd at-Tawil reported: Anas was asked, “Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ take a ring?” He said, “Yes. One night he delayed the Isha prayer until half of the night; then, after he had prayed, he turned his face towards us and said, ‘The people have prayed and slept, but you have remained in prayer ever since you began waiting for it.’” He said, “It is as if I am looking at the glitter of his ring.”

Humaid at-Tawil berichtete: Anas wurde gefragt: „Hat sich der Gesandte Allahs ﷺ einen Ring zugelegt?“ Er sagte: „Ja. Er schob eines Nachts das Nachtgebet bis zur Hälfte der Nacht hinaus; dann wandte er sich uns mit seinem Gesicht zu, nachdem er gebetet hatte, und sagte: ‚Die Leute haben gebetet und geschlafen, ihr aber seid ununterbrochen im Gebet gewesen, seit ihr darauf gewartet habt.‘“ Er sagte: „Es ist, als sähe ich das Funkeln seines Rings.“

Humeyd et-Tavîl şöyle rivayet etti: Enes'e (r.a.): “Resûlullah ﷺ yüzük edindi mi?” diye soruldu. O da şöyle dedi: “Evet. Bir gece yatsı namazını gece yarısına kadar geciktirdi; namazı kıldıktan sonra yüzünü bize dönüp: ‘İnsanlar namazlarını kıldılar ve uyudular; sizler ise onu beklemeye başladığınızdan beri namazda olmaya devam ettiniz’ buyurdu.” (Enes) dedi ki: “Sanki şu an yüzüğünün parıltısına bakıyorum.”
