Musnad Ahmad 36374

Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلَّامٌ يَعْنِي أَبَا الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ سَيَّارِ بْنِ الْمَعْرُورِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَخْطُبُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَنَى هَذَا الْمَسْجِدَ وَنَحْنُ مَعَهُ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالْأَنْصَارُ فَإِذَا اشْتَدَّ الزِّحَامُ فَلْيَسْجُدْ الرَّجُلُ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى ظَهْرِ أَخِيهِ وَرَأَى قَوْمًا يُصَلُّونَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ صَلُّوا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ‏.‏
