وعن أبي عبد الله بلال بن رباح
رضي الله عنه مؤذن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه أتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ليؤذنه بصلاة الغداة، فشغلت عائشة بلالا بأمر سألته عنه، حتى أصبح جدا فقام بلال فآذنه بالصلاة، وتابع أذانه، فلم يخرج رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فلما خرج صلى بالناس، فأخبره أن عائشة شغلته بأمر سألته عنه حتى أصبح جدا، وأنه أبطأ عليه بالخروج، فقال يعني النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم -: «إني كنت ركعت ركعتي الفجر«فقال: يا رسول الله إنك أصبحت جدا؟ فقال: «لو أصبحت أكثر مما أصبحت، لركعتهما وأحسنتهما، وأجملتهما»
I went to inform the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) about the time of the dawn (Fajr) prayer, and Aishah (radiyallahu anha) kept me busy and began to ask me about something till the day grew bright. Then I got up and informed the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) of the time of Salat. I informed him again but he did not came out immediately to lead As- Salat.
When he came out, he led As-Salat. I said to him: Aishah (radiyallahu anha) kept me busy and thus diverted my attention by asking about something and the morning grew bright. You also came out late. Upon that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “I was engaged in performing two Rakah of Fajr prayer.”
Bilal (radiyallahu anhu) said: “O Messenger of Allah! You delayed As-Salat so long as the morning grew bright.” He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) replied, “Even if the morning had become brighter than it had, I would have performed two Rakah of prayer in an excellent manner.”.
