Hadith #50
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَنْ مَوْلًى لِأَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ وَهُوَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَدَخَلُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
فَرَأَى رَجُلًا جَالِسًا وَسَطَ الْمَسْجِدِ مُشَبِّكًا بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ يُحَدِّثُ نَفْسَهُ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يَفْطِنْ قَالَ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ فَقَالَ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَا يُشَبِّكَنَّ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ فَإِنَّ التَّشْبِيكَ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَا يَزَالُ فِي صَلَاةٍ مَا دَامَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ مِنْهُ

English Translation
Waki' narrated to us, 'Ubaydullah ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Mawhab narrated to us, from his uncle, from a freed slave of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, that he was with Abu Sa'id (رضي الله عنه) while he was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the mosque and saw a man sitting in the middle of the mosque clasping his knees and reciting Quran. the Prophet ﷺ looked at him but the man did not notice. Then the Prophet ﷺ turned to his Companions and said: 'Do you not see this man doing something that makes him look good?' He said it twice or three times. He said: 'Whoever among you is able — if he kills him.' A man from the people went to him and said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commands you to sit down. He sat. Then when he went away, the man wished he had killed him and come to the Prophet ﷺ saying he had fulfilled the task.
