Note 1
(1) His saying: "As if he were sitting on hot stones until he stood up" means that he would not remain in the first Tashahhud for long; rather, he would keep it brief and stand up quickly, as if he were sitting on a hot stone. According to our school of thought, he would suffice with the Tashahhud without the prayer (upon the Prophet ﷺ) and supplication, or according to the Shafi‘i school, he would suffice with Tashahhud and prayer upon the Prophet ﷺ without supplication. This is mentioned in "Al-Mirqat." And in another narration by Ahmad from the Prophet ﷺ: "Then if he was in the middle of the prayer, he would rise as soon as he finished his Tashahhud."

(۱) قوله: كأنه على الرضف حتى يقوم: يعني لا يلبث في التشهد الأول كثيرًا، بل يخففه ويقوم مسرعًا، كمن هو قاعد على حجر حار، فيكون مكتفيا بالتشهد دون الصلاة والدعاء على مذهبنا، أو مكتفيا بالتشهد والصلاة على الدعاء عند الشافعية. كذا في «المرقاة». وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِأَحْمَدَ عَنِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ : ثُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ فِي وَسْطِ الصَّلَاةِ نَهَضَ حِيْنَ يَفْرُغُ مِنْ تَشَهُدِهِ.
