Sunan Abi Dawud 941 (Book 2, Hadith 552) #21233
Reconciliation and Prayer Etiquette

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) came to reconcile a dispute between two tribes and instructed Bilal to ask Abu Bakr to lead the prayer if he did not return in time. He also advised that if anything happened during prayer, men should say "Glory be to Allah" and women should clap.

sahl b. Sa’d said; Fighting took place amongst the tribe of Banu 'Amr b. 'Awf. This (the news) reached the prophet (May peace be upon him). He came to them for their reconciliation after the noon prayer . he said to Bilal; If the time of the afternoon prayer comes, and I do not return to you, then ask Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer. When the time of the afternoon prayer came, Bilal called the Adhan and pronounced the Iqamah and then asked Abu Bakr (to lead the prayer). He stepped forward. The narrator reported this tradition to the same effect. In the end he (the prophet) said; if anything happens to you during prayer, the men should say" Glory be to Allah," and the women should clap.
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ كَانَ قِتَالٌ بَيْنَ بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ فَأَتَاهُمْ لِيُصْلِحَ بَيْنَهُمْ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ فَقَالَ لِبِلاَلٍ ‏"‏ إِنْ حَضَرَتْ صَلاَةُ الْعَصْرِ وَلَمْ آتِكَ فَمُرْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتِ الْعَصْرُ أَذَّنَ بِلاَلٌ ثُمَّ أَقَامَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَتَقَدَّمَ قَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ ‏"‏ إِذَا نَابَكُمْ شَىْءٌ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَلْيُسَبِّحِ الرِّجَالُ وَلْيُصَفِّحِ النِّسَاءُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of reconciliation between people who are in conflict with each other, as well as proper etiquette for prayer. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was informed of a dispute between two tribes, Banu 'Amr b. 'Awf, so he went to them after the noon prayer in order to reconcile them. He then instructed Bilal that if he did not return before the afternoon prayer started, then Abu Bakr should lead it instead of him. Lastly, he gave advice on what people should do if something happened during their prayers - men were told to say “Glory be to Allah” while women were told they could clap their hands instead of speaking out loud during prayers. This hadith teaches us that we must strive for peace and reconciliation when there is conflict among people or groups; it also reminds us of proper etiquette when praying so as not disrupt others who are praying around us or draw attention away from God's words being recited in prayers by speaking out loud or making too much noise with our hands or feet etc..
