Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #26392

Ishaq Al-Ansari told us, Ma’an told us, Malik bin Anas told us, on the authority of Ishaq bin Abdullah bin Abi Talha, on the authority of Anas bin Malik, that his grandmother, Malika, invited the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, to some food that she had made, and he ate from it, and then he said, “Get up, and let us lead you in prayer.” He said. Anas, so I went to a mat of ours that had turned black from long wear, so I sprinkled it with water, and the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, stood on it, and the orphan and I lined up over him. Behind him and the old man behind us, he prayed two rak’ahs with us and then left.” Abu Issa said: The hadith of Anas is a good and authentic hadith. .And it is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge. They said, “If there is a man and a woman with the imam, the man stands to the right of the imam and the woman.” Behind them. Some people used this hadith as evidence for permitting prayer if the man was behind the row alone, and they said that the boy He did not pray, and it was as if a man was behind the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, alone in the row. The matter is not what they thought, because the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, led him in prayer. With the orphan behind him. Had the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, not made a prayer for the orphan, the orphan would not have stayed with him. And he made him stand on his right. It was narrated on the authority of Musa bin Anas, on the authority of Anas, that he prayed with the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, so he made him stand on his right. And in this The hadith indicates that he only prayed voluntarily and wanted to bring blessings upon them.
