Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
The news about the differences amongst the people of Bani ‘Amr bin ‘Auf at Quba reached Allah’s
Apostle and so he went to them along with some of his companions to affect a reconciliation. Allah’s
Apostle was delayed there and the time for the prayer became due. Bilal came to Abu Bakr! and said,
“O Abu Bakr! Allah’s Apostle is detained (there) and the time for the prayer is due. Will you lead the
people in prayer?” Abu Bakr replied, “Yes, if you wish.” So Bilal pronounced the Iqama and Abu Bakr
went forward and the people said Takbir. In the meantime, Allah’s Apostle came piercing through
the rows till he stood in the (first) row and the people started clapping. Abu Bakr, would never look
hither and thither during the prayer but when the people clapped much he looked back and saw Al –
lah’s Apostle. The Prophet beckoned him to carry on. Abu Bakr raised both his hands, praised Allah
and retreated till he stood in the row and Allah’s Apostle went forward and led the people in the
prayer. When he had finished the prayer, he addressed the people and said, “O people! Why did you
start clapping when something happened to you in the prayer? Clapping is for women. Whenever
one is confronted with something unusual in the prayer one should say, ‘Sub Han Allah’.” Then the
Prophet looked towards Abu Bakr and asked, “What prevented you from leading the prayer when I
beckoned you to carry on?” Abu Bakr replied, “It does not befit the son of Al Quhafa to lead the pray –
er in the presence of Allah’s Apostle

There was a woman amongst us who had a farm and she used to sow Silq (a kind of vegetable) on
the edges of streams in her farm. On Fridays she used to pull out the Silq from its roots and put the
roots in a utensil. Then she would put a handful of powdered barley over it and cook it. The roots of

would give us that food which we would eat with our hands, and because of that meal, we used to
look forward to Friday.
