Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah Al-Ansari: Once a man was driving two Nadihas (camels used for agricultural purposes) and night had fallen. He found Mu`adh praying so he made his camel kneel and joined Mu`adh in the prayer. The latter recited Surat 'Al-Baqara or Surat An-Nisa , (so) the man left the prayer and went away. When he came to know that Mu`adh had criticized him, he went to the Prophet, and complained against Mu`adh. The Prophet said thrice, O Mu`adh ! Are you putting the people to trial? It would have been better if you had recited Sabbih Isma Rabbika-l-A`la (87) , Wash-shamsi wa duhaha (91) , or Wal-laili idha yaghsha (92) , for the old, the weak and the needy pray behind you. Jabir said that Mu`adh recited Sura Al-Baqara in the `Isha' prayer.
