باب هَلْ يُصَلِّي الإِمَامُ بِمَنْ حَضَرَ وَهَلْ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي الْمَطَرِ

Sahih al-Bukhari 670

Anas bin Seereen narrated : I heard Anas (رضي الله تعالى عنه) saying, "A man from Ansar said to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), 'I cannot pray with you (in congregation).' He was a very fat man and he prepared a meal for the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) and invited him to his house. He spread out a mat for the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), and washed one of its sides with water, and the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) prayed two rakat on it." A man from the family of Al-Jaarud asked, "Did the Prophet ( صلى ہللا عليه و آلهوسلم) pray the forenoon prayer?" Anas (رضي الله تعالى عنه) said, "I did not see him praying the forenoon prayer except on that day."

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ سِيرينَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ : إِنِّي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَكَ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا ضَخْمًا ، فَصَنَعَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَعَامًا فَدَعَاهُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ ، فَبَسَطَ لَهُ حَصِيرًا وَنَضَحَ طَرَفَ الْحَصِيرِ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ آلِ الْجَارُودِ لِأَنَسِ : أَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي الضُّحَى ، قَالَ : مَا رَأَيْتُهُ صَلَّاهَا إِلَّا يَوْمَئِذٍ .
