حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا طَالِبُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ جَابِرٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ حَزْمِ بْنِ أُبَيِّ بْنِ کَعْبٍ أَنَّهُ أَتَی مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي بِقَوْمٍ صَلَاةَ الْمَغْرِبِ فِي هَذَا الْخَبَرِ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا مُعَاذُ لَا تَکُنْ فَتَّانًا فَإِنَّهُ يُصَلِّي وَرَائَکَ الْکَبِيرُ وَالضَّعِيفُ وَذُو الْحَاجَةِ وَالْمُسَافِرُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 792
Narrated Some Companions of the Prophet: Abu Salih reported on the authority of some Companions of the Prophet ﷺ: The Prophet ﷺ said to a person: what do you say in prayer? He replied: I first recite tashahhud (supplication recited in sitting position), and then I say: O Allah, I ask Thee for Paradise, and I seek refuge in Thee from Hell-Fire, but I do not understand your sound and the sound of Muadh (what you say or he says in prayer). The Prophet ﷺ said: We too go around it (paradise and Hell-fire).
