Narrator:Rifā‘a ibn Rāfi az-Zuraqī

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، نَحْوَهُ قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا رِفَاعَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَمِّ، أَبِيهِ مُعَاذِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ

صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَعَطَسَ رِفَاعَةُ لَمْ يَقُلْ قُتَيْبَةُ رِفَاعَةُ فَقُلْتُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ مُبَارَكًا عَلَيْهِ كَمَا يُحِبُّ رَبُّنَا وَيَرْضَى فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم انْصَرَفَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَنِ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Narrated Rifa'ah ibn Rafi':

I offered prayer behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Rifa'ah sneezed. The narrator Qutaybah did not mention the name Rifa'ah (but he said: I sneezed). So I said: Praise be to Allah, praise much, good and blessed therein, blessed thereupon, as our Lord likes and is pleased. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) finished his prayer, he turned and said: Who was the speaker in prayer? He then narrated the rest of the tradition like that of Malik and completed it.

Reported by Abu Dawud (No. 773), At-Tirmidhi (No. 404) and An-Nasa’i (No. 931).

Classical commentary

Al-Azimabadi — Awn al-Ma'bud

( فَعَطَسَ رِفَاعَة ) : فِيهِ دَلِيل عَلَى أَنَّ الْعَاطِس فِي الصَّلَاة يَحْمَد اللَّه بِغَيْرِ كَرَاهَة ( مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ مُبَارَكًا عَلَيْهِ ) : قَوْله مُبَارَكًا عَلَيْهِ يَحْتَمِل أَنْ يَكُون تَأْكِيدًا وَهُوَ الظَّاهِر وَقِيلَ الْأَوَّل : بِمَعْنَى الزِّيَادَة وَالثَّانِي : بِمَعْنَى الْبَقَاء. قَالَ اللَّه تَعَالَى { وَبَارَكَ فِيهَا وَقَدَّرَ فِيهَا أَقْوَاتهَا } فَهَذَا يُنَاسِب الْأَرْض لِأَنَّ الْمَقْصُود بِهِ النَّمَاء وَالزِّيَادَة لَا الْبَقَاء لِأَنَّهُ بِصَدَدِ التَّغَيُّر. وَقَالَ تَعَالَى { وَبَارَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى إِسْحَاق } فَهَذَا يُنَاسِب الْأَنْبِيَاء لِأَنَّ الْبَرَكَة بَاقِيَة لَهُمْ. وَلَمَّا كَانَ الْحَمْد يُنَاسِبهُ الْمَعْنَيَانِ جَمَعَهُمَا. كَذَا قَرَّرَه…
