Summary
A report that Malik transmits from Abu al-Zinad from al-A'raj from Abu Hurayra (may God be pleased with him), in the chapter on practice in the congregational prayer: the Prophet ﷺ told those praying behind him that if they thought his direction of prayer was only here, his humility and bowing would not be hidden from him, for he sees them from behind his back. The editor cites al-Bukhari, Muslim, Ahmad and al-Bayhaqi in the Dala'il, and refers to al-Tamhid. 1
