Sub-Chapter (Baab)

Sahih Al Bukhari 770

(Imām Bukhārī narrates): Sulaimān ibn Harb narrated to us, he said: Shu'bah narrated to us, from Abī 'Awn, he said: I heard Jābir ibn Samurah, may Allāh be pleased with him, he narrated that:

'Umar, may Allāh be pleased with him, said to Sa'd, may Allāh be pleased with him: The people of Kūfah have complained about you in everything, even in the prayer! Sa'd said: I recite more Qur'ān in the first two rak'ahs, and I do not recite in the last two rak'ahs, and whatever I have followed in the prayer of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, I do not leave it off. 'Umar said: You have spoken the truth, and this was the same thought about you — or this was my same thought about you.

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي عَوْنٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ لِسَعْدٍ لَقَدْ شَكَوْكَ فِي كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَتَّى الصَّلاَةِ‏.‏ قَالَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَمُدُّ فِي الأُولَيَيْنِ، وَأَحْذِفُ فِي الأُخْرَيَيْنِ، وَلاَ آلُو مَا اقْتَدَيْتُ بِهِ مِنْ صَلاَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏.‏ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ، ذَاكَ الظَّنُّ بِكَ، أَوْ ظَنِّي بِكَ‏.‏
