Chapter 7 · Establishing the Prayer and the Sunnah Regarding Themحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ، يَقُولُ: كَانَ آخِرُ مَا عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ أَمَّرَنِي عَلَى الطَّائِفِ قَالَ لِي: يَا عُثْمَانُ تَجَاوَزْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ، وَاقْدِرِ النَّاسَ بِأَضْعَفِهِمْ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الْكَبِيرَ، وَالصَّغِيرَ، وَالسَّقِيمَ، وَالْبَعِيدَ، وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ .

“I heard ‘Uthman bin Abul-‘As رضی اللہ عنہ say: “The last thing that the Prophet (ﷺ) enjoined on me when he appointed me governor of Ta’if was that he said: “O ‘Uthman! Be tolerable in prayer and estimate the people based upon the weakest among them, for among them are the elderly, the young, the sick, those who live far from the mosque, and those who have pressing needs.”
