Authentic 4 scholars’ grades Sunan Abu Dawud 88

Narrator:Abdullah ibn Arqam

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الأَرْقَمِ، أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ حَاجًّا أَوْ مُعْتَمِرًا وَمَعَهُ النَّاسُ وَهُوَ يَؤُمُّهُمْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أَقَامَ الصَّلاَةَ صَلاَةَ الصُّبْحِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِيَتَقَدَّمْ أَحَدُكُمْ ‏.‏ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى الْخَلاَءِ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏"‏

إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ الْخَلاَءَ وَقَامَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِالْخَلاَءِ ‏"

Narrated Abdullah ibn al-Arqam:

Urwah reported on the authority of his father that Abdullah ibn al-Arqam travelled for performing hajj (pilgrimage) or umrah. He was accompanied by the people whom he led in prayer. One day when he was leading them in the dawn (fajr) prayer, he said to them: One of you should come forward. He then went away to relieve himself. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: When any of you feels the need of relieving himself while the congregational prayer is ready, he should go to relieve himself.

Reported by Abu Dawud (No. 88) and Ahmad (No. 15393, 15805).

( وَهُوَ يَؤُمّهُمْ ) : فِي الصَّلَاة. وَلَفْظ الْبَيْهَقِيِّ فِي الْمَعْرِفَة أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ إِلَى مَكَّة صَحِبَهُ قَوْم فَكَانَ يَؤُمّهُمْ ( صَلَاة الصُّبْح ) : بَدَل مِنْ الصَّلَاة ( ثُمَّ قَالَ ) : عَبْد اللَّه ( لِيَتَقَدَّمْ أَحَدكُمْ ) : لِلْإِمَامَةِ ( وَذَهَبَ ) : عَبْد اللَّه ( الْخَلَاء ) : وَهَذِهِ الْجُمْلَة مِنْ مَقُولَة عُرْوَة بْن الزُّبَيْر ( فَلْيَبْدَأ بِالْخَلَاءِ ) : فَيُفْرِغ نَفْسه ثُمَّ يَرْجِع فَيُصَلِّي لِأَنَّهُ إِذَا صَلَّى قَبْل ذَلِكَ تَشَوَّشَ خُشُوعه وَاخْتَلَّ حُضُور قَلْبه. وَالْحَدِيث فِيهِ دَلِيل عَلَى أَنَّهُ لَا يَقُوم إِلَى الصَّلَاة وَهُوَ يَجِد شَيْئًا مِنْ الْغَائِط وَالْبَوْل ( عَنْ رَجُل حَدَّثَهُ ) : فَأَدْخَلُوا هَؤُلَاءِ بَيْن عُرْوَةَ وَبَيْن ع…
