Jabir bin Abdullah reported,

Muaz used to pray with the Prophet ﷺ and then return and lead us in prayer. Mura said in his version, then return and lead his people in prayer. One night the Prophet ﷺ delayed the prayer. Mura said, the Isha prayer. Muaz prayed with the Prophet ﷺ, then came to lead his people in prayer and recited Surah al-Baqarah. A man from the congregation withdrew and prayed on his own.It was said to him, "Have you become a hypocrite, so-and-so?"He replied, "I have not become a hypocrite."He then went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Messenger of Allah, Muaz prays with you and then returns and leads us in prayer. We are people who work with our water-carrying camels and labor with our hands. He came to lead us in prayer and recited Surah al-Baqarah."So the Prophet ﷺ said, "Muaz, are you a troublemaker? Are you a troublemaker? Recite such-and-such, recite such-and-such."Abu Zubayr said, recite "Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High" [Ala 87:1] and "By the night when it covers" [Layl 92:1].We mentioned this to Amr, and he said, "I think he did mention it."

جابر قال

كان معاذ يصلي مع النبي ﷺ ثم يرجع فيؤمنا قال مرة ثم يرجع فيصلي بقومه فأخر النبي ﷺ ليلة الصلاة وقال مرة العشاء فصلى معاذ مع النبي ﷺ ثم جاء يؤم قومه فقرأ البقرة فاعتزل رجل من القوم فصلى فقيل نافقت يا فلان فقال ما نافقت فأتى رسول الله ﷺ فقال إن معاذا يصلي معك ثم يرجع فيؤمنا يا رسول الله وإنما نحن أصحاب نواضح ونعمل بأيدينا وإنه جاء يؤمنا فقرأ بسورة البقرة فقال يا معاذ أفتان أنت أفتان أنت اقرأ بكذا اقرأ بكذا قال أبو الزبير بسبح اسم ربك الأعلى والليل إذا يغشى فذكرنا لعمرو فقال أراه قد ذكره
