حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ الْحُدَّانِيُّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَالِکٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَوْزَائِ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ کَانَتْ امْرَأَةٌ تُصَلِّي خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَسْنَائَ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ النَّاسِ فَکَانَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ يَتَقَدَّمُ حَتَّی يَکُونَ فِي الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ لِئَلَّا يَرَاهَا وَيَسْتَأْخِرُ بَعْضُهُمْ حَتَّی يَکُونَ فِي الصَّفِّ الْمُؤَخَّرِ فَإِذَا رَکَعَ نَظَرَ مِنْ تَحْتِ إِبْطَيْهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَی وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنْکُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَأْخِرِينَ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی وَرَوَی جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَالِکٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَوْزَائِ نَحْوَهُ وَلَمْ يَذْکُرْ فِيهِ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَهَذَا أَشْبَهُ أَنْ يَکُونَ أَصَحَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ نُوحٍ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 3122
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: There was a woman who performed Salat behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) who was the most beautiful among the people. Some of the people would go forward to the first line so as not to see her. Others would go back to the last line so when he would bow, he could look at her from under his armpit. So Allah revealed: Indeed We know those who try to come forward among you, and We know those who try to go back (15:24).
