حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَأَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، قَالَ أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كَانَ مُعَاذٌ يُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْعِشَاءَ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي مَسْجِدَ قَوْمِهِ فَيُصَلِّي بِهِمْ .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 465d
This hadith about Mu’adh leading prayer in his people’s mosque gives a brief report from Jabir b. Abdullah. Mu’adh used to pray Isha with the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم). Then he would go to the mosque of his people and lead them in prayer. The narration is simple, but it matters because it records a repeated practice connected to prayer leadership. It does not mention the longer discussion about lengthening the prayer, so the explanation should not force that into this specific text. For search terms like Mu’adh prayed with the Prophet then led his people, this hadith is a clear match. It shows Mu’adh’s link to the Prophet’s prayer and his role with his own community.
What we learn from this hadith
- Mu’adh prayed Isha with the Messenger of Allah.
- He went afterward to his people’s mosque.
