حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ زَمْعَةَ، أَخْبَرَهُ بِهَذَا الْخَبَرِ، قَالَ لَمَّا سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَوْتَ عُمَرَ قَالَ ابْنُ زَمَعَةَ

خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى أَطْلَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ حُجْرَتِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ لاَ لاَ لِيُصَلِّ لِلنَّاسِ ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ مُغْضَبًا ‏.‏

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by ‘Abd Allah b. Zam’ah through a different chain. He said:

When the Prophet (May peace be upon him) heard ‘Umar’s voice, Ibn Zam’ah said: The Prophet (May peace be upon him) came out until he took out his head of his apartment. He then said : No, no, no; the son of Abu Quhafah should lead the people in prayer. He said it angrily.

Reported by Abu Dawud (No. 4661).

( حَتَّى أَطْلَعَ رَأْسه ) : أَيْ أَخْرَجَهُ ( ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا لَا لَا ) : أَيْ لَا يُصَلِّي عُمَر رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ بِالنَّاسِ ( لِيُصَلِّ لِلنَّاسِ اِبْن أَبِي قُحَافَة ) : هُوَ أَبُو بَكْر رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ ( يَقُول ذَلِكَ ) : أَيْ الْكَلَام الْمَذْكُور. وَفِي الْحَدِيث دَلِيل عَلَى خِلَافَة أَبِي بَكْر رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ , وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ قَوْله يَأْبَى اللَّه ذَلِكَ وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ مَعْقُول مِنْهُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَرِد بِهِ نَفْي جَوَاز الصَّلَاة خَلْف عُمَر رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ , فَإِنَّ الصَّلَاة خَلْف عُمَر وَمَنْ دُونه مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ جَائِزَة , وَإِنَّمَا أَرَادَ بِهِ الْإِمَامَة الَّتِي دَلِيل الْخِلَافَة وَالنِّيَابَة عَنْ رَسُول اللَّه صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ف…
