“I heard Abu Humaid As-Sa’idi say:
‘When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up for prayer, he would
face
the prayer direction, raise his hands, and say: “Allahu Akbar
(Allah
is Most Great).”

“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) used to start his prayer by saying: ‘Subhanaka Allahumma
wa
bi hamdika, wa tabarakas-muka, wa ta’ala jadduka, wa la ilaha
ghairuka (Glory and praise be to You, O Allah, blessed be Your Name
and exalted be Your majesty, none has the right to be worshipped but
you).”

“When the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
said the Takbir (Allah Akbar), he would remain silent between
the
Takbir and the recitation. I said: ‘May my father and mother be
ransomed for you! I noticed that you are silent between the Takbir
and
the recitation; please tell me what you say then.’ He said: ‘I
say:
‘Allahumma ba’id baini wa baina khatayaya kama ba’adta
bainal-mashriqi
wal-maghrib; Allahumma naqqini min khatayay
kath-thawbil abyad minad-
danas; Allahummaghsilni min khatayaya

Allah, distance me from my sins as
You have distanced the east from
the west; O Allah purify me of my
sins as a white garment is purified
of dirt; O Allah, cleanse me of
my sins with water and snow and
hail).”
It was
narrated from ‘Aishah that when the Prophet (ﷺ) started
Salat he
would say:
“Subhanak Allahumma wa bi hamdika, wa tabarakas-
muka wa
ta’ala jadduka, wa la ilaha ghayruk (Glory and praise is to
You, O
Allah, blessed is Your Name and exalted is Your majesty, none
has the
right to be worshipped but You).”

It was
narrated from Ibn Jubair bin Mut’im that his father said:
“I
saw
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he started the prayer. He said:
‘Allahu Akbaru kabiran, Allahu Akbaru kabiran (Allah is the Most
Great
indeed),’ three times; ‘Al-hamdu Lillahi kathiran, al-hamdu
Lillahi
kathiran (Much praise is to Allah),’ three times; ‘Subhan
Allahi
bukratan wa asilan (Glory is to Allah morning and evening),’
three
times; ‘Allahumma inni a’udhu bika minash-Shaitanir-rajim,

from the
accursed Satan, from his madness, his poetry, and his
pride).”

narrated from Ibn Mas’ud that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Allahumma

Satan, from
his madness, his pride, and his poetry).”

Ibn
‘Abdullah bin Mughaffal narrated from his father and he said:
“I
have rarely seen a man for whom innovation in Islam was harder to
bear
than him. He heard me reciting: ‘In the Name of Allah, the
Most
Gracious, the Most Merciful’ Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim [1:1]
and he
said: ‘O my son, beware of innovation, for I prayed with the
Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ), and with Abu Bakr, and with ‘Umar, and
with ‘Uthman,
and I never heard any of them saying this. When you
(begin to) recite,
say: ‘All the praises and thanks are to Allah,
the Lord of all that
exists.’ (Al-hamdu Lillahi Rabbil-‘Alamin).’”
[1:2]
“I performed prayer with
the
Prophet (ﷺ) when he was reciting in the Fajr, and it is as if I
can
hear him reciting: ‘So verily, I swear by the planets that recede.
And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves.’”[81:15-16]

“I asked Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri
about
the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He said: ‘There is
nothing good in that for you.’* I said: ‘Explain it, may Allah
have
mercy on you.’ He said: ‘The Iqamah would be given for the
Zuhr prayer
for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), then one of us would go
out to Al-
Baqi’, relieve himself, then come back and perform
ablution, and he
would find the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) still in the
first Rak’ah of
Zuhr.’”

“I said to Khabbab: ‘How did
you
recognize that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was reciting in the
Zuhr
and the ‘Asr?’ He said: ‘From the movement of his beard.’”

“I have never seen anyone
whose
prayer more closely resembles that of the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
than so-and-so. He used to lengthen the first two Rak’ah of the
Zuhr and shorten the last two Rak’ah, and he used to shorten the
‘Asr.”

“Thirty of the
Companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) who had been at Badr came
together and said: ‘Come, let us estimate the length of the
recitation
of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for the prayer in which
Qur’an is not
recited out aloud.’ No two men among them
disagreed, and they
estimated the length of his recitation in the
first Rak’ah of the Zuhr
to be thirty Verses and in the second
Rak’ah to be half of that. They
estimated his recitation in ‘Asr
to be half of the last two Rak’ah of
Zuhr.”
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدٌ الْعَمِّيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ اجْتَمَعَ ثَلاَثُونَ بَدْرِيًّا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالُوا تَعَالَوْا حَتَّى نَقِيسَ قِرَاءَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فِيمَا لَمْ يَجْهَرْ فِيهِ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ . فَمَا اخْتَلَفَ مِنْهُمْ رَجُلاَنِ فَقَاسُوا قِرَاءَتَهُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الأُولَى مِنَ الظُّهْرِ بِقَدْرِ ثَلاَثِينَ آيَةً وَفِي الرَّكْعَةِ الأُخْرَى قَدْرَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَقَاسُوا ذَلِكَ فِي صَلاَةِ الْعَصْرِ عَلَى قَدْرِ النِّصْفِ مِنَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأُخْرَيَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ .
It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Abu Qatadah that his father said:
“The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite when leading us in the
first
two Rak’ah of the Zuhr prayer, and sometimes he would recite
such
that we could hear the Verse.”
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ الصَّوَّافُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتَوَائِيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقْرَأُ بِنَا فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأُولَيَيْنِ مِنْ صَلاَةِ الظُّهْرِ وَيُسْمِعُنَا الآيَةَ أَحْيَانًا .
“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) used to lead us for the Zuhr, and we would hear him reciting a
Verse after the Verses from Surat Luqman (31) and Adh-Dhariyat (51).”
حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلْمُ بْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ، عَنْ هَاشِمِ بْنِ الْبَرِيدِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يُصَلِّي بِنَا الظُّهْرَ فَنَسْمَعُ مِنْهُ الآيَةَ بَعْدَ الآيَاتِ مِنْ سُورَةِ لُقْمَانَ وَالذَّارِيَاتِ .
It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said, narrating from his mother (one
of
the narrators) Abu Bakr bin Abu Shaibah said:
“(She was) Lubabah”
that she heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) reciting ‘By the winds
sent forth one after another...’[Al-Mursalat (77)] in the Maghrib.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَهِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، - قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ هِيَ لُبَابَةُ - أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ بِالْمُرْسَلاَتِ عُرْفًا .
It was
narrated from Muhammad bin Jubair bin Mut’im that his father
said:
“I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) reciting At-Tur (52) in the Maghrib.”
In a different narration, Jubair said: “And when I heard him
recite:
‘Were they created by nothing? Or were they themselves the
creators?’
up to: ‘Then let their listener produce some manifest
proof’,[52:35-38] it was as if my heart were about to take flight.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ بِالطُّورِ . قَالَ جُبَيْرٌ فِي غَيْرِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَلَمَّا سَمِعْتُهُ يَقْرَأُ {أَمْ خُلِقُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ شَىْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ الْخَالِقُونَ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {فَلْيَأْتِ مُسْتَمِعُهُمْ بِسُلْطَانٍ مُبِينٍ } كَادَ قَلْبِي يَطِيرُ .
It was
narrated from Jabir that Mu’adh bin Jabal led his companions
for
the ‘Isha’ and he made the prayer too long for them. The Prophet
(ﷺ) said:
“Recite ‘By the sun and its brightness,’[Al-Shams
(91)]
‘Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High,’ [Al-A’la
(87)] ‘By the
night as it envelops,’ [Al-Lail (92)] or, ‘Read!

Lord Who has created.’” [Al-‘Alaq (96)]
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ، صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ الْعِشَاءَ فَطَوَّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " اقْرَأْ بِالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا وَسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى وَاقْرَأْ بِسْمِ رَبِّكَ "
It was
narrated from Abu Sa’ib that he heard Abu Hurairah say:
“The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever performs a prayer in which
he
does not recite Ummul Qur’an (the Mother of the Qur’an, i.e.,
Al-
Fatihah), it is deficient; not complete.’” I said: ‘O Abu
Hurairah,
sometimes I am behind the Imam. He pressed my forearm and
said: ‘O
Persian! Recite it to yourself.’”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘There is no prayer for the one who does not recite in every
Rak’ah: Al-Hamd (Al-Fatihah) and a Surah whether in an obligatory
prayer or another.’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفُضَيْلِ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ السَّعْدِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " لاَ صَلاَةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ بِـ {الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ} وَسُورَةٍ فِي فَرِيضَةٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهَا "
Abu Idris
Al-Khawlani narrated that a man asked Abu Darda’:
“Should I
recite when the Imam is reciting?” He said: “A man asked the
Prophet
(ﷺ) whether there was recitation in every prayer. The
Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Yes.’ A man among the people
said: ‘It has become
obligatory.’”
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلاَنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَقْرَأُ وَالإِمَامُ يَقْرَأُ قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَفِي كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ قِرَاءَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " نَعَمْ " . فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ وَجَبَ هَذَا .
“We used to recite the
Opening of the Book and a Surah behind the Imam in the first two
Rak’ah of the Zuhr and the ‘Asr, and in the last wo Rak’ah (we
would
recite) the Opening of the Book.”
“There are two pauses
which I memorized from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), but `Imran bin
Husain denied that. We wrote to Ubayy bin Ka`b in Al-Madinah, and
he
wrote that Samurah had indeed memorized them.”
(One of the narrators) Sa`eed said: "We said to Qatadah: 'What are these two pauses?' He said: 'When he started his prayer, and when he finished reciting.'
Then later he said: 'And when he recited: 'Not (the way) of those who earned your anger, nor of those who went astray.' They used to like (for the Imam) when he had finished reciting to remain silent until he had caught his breath.'"
“I memorized two pauses in the prayer, a pause before
reciting and a pause when bowing. ‘Imran bin Husain denied that, so
they wrote to Al-Madinah, to Ubayy bin Ka’b, and he said that
Samurah
was speaking the truth.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘The Imam has been appointed to be followed, so when he says
Allahu Akbar, then say Allahu Akbar, when he recites, then listen
attentively; when he says: Not (the way) of those who earned Your
anger, nor of those who went astray,[1:7] then say Amin; when he bows
then bow; when he says Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears
those
who praise Him), then say Allahumma Rabbana wa lakal-hamd (O
Allah,
our Lord, to You is the praise);” when he prostrates then
prostrate;
and if he prays sitting down then all of you pray sitting
down.’”
“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘When the Imam recites, then listen attentively, and
if
he is sitting (in the prayer) then the first remembrance that
anyone
of you recites should be the Tashahhud.’”
حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْقَطَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي غَلاَّبٍ، عَنْ حِطَّانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الرَّقَاشِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِذَا قَرَأَ الإِمَامُ فَأَنْصِتُوا فَإِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ الْقَعْدَةِ فَلْيَكُنْ أَوَّلَ ذِكْرِ أَحَدِكُمُ التَّشَهُّدُ "
“I heard Abu Hurairah say:
‘The
Prophet (ﷺ) led his Companions in a prayer; we think it was the
Subh. He said: “Did anyone among you recite?” A man said: “I
did.” He
said: “I was saying to myself, what is wrong with me
that someone is
fighting to wrest the Qur’an from me?”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَهِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ أُكَيْمَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بِأَصْحَابِهِ صَلاَةً نَظُنُّ أَنَّهَا الصُّبْحُ فَقَالَ " هَلْ قَرَأَ مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ " . قَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا . قَالَ " إِنِّي أَقُولُ مَا لِي أُنَازَعُ الْقُرْآنَ " .
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
led
us in prayer,” and he mentioned a similar report, and added to it,
and he said: “And after that they were quiet in the prayers in
which
the Imam recites aloud.”
حَدَّثَنَا جَمِيلُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ أُكَيْمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ وَزَادَ فِيهِ قَالَ فَسَكَتُوا بَعْدُ فِيمَا جَهَرَ فِيهِ الإِمَامُ .
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“When the reciter says Amin, then say Amin, for the angels say
Amin,
and if a person’s Amin coincides with the Amin of the angels,
his
previous sins will be forgiven.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَهِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " إِذَا أَمَّنَ الْقَارِئُ فَأَمِّنُوا فَإِنَّ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ تُؤَمِّنُ فَمَنْ وَافَقَ تَأْمِينُهُ تَأْمِينَ الْمَلاَئِكَةِ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ "
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“When the reciter says Amin, then say Amin, for if a person’s
Amin
coincides with the Amin of the angels, his previous sins will be
forgiven.”
“The people stopped saying
Amin,
but when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said ‘Not (the way) of
those
who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray’[1:7] he
would
say Amin, until the people in the first row could hear it, and
the
mosque would shake with it.

“I saw the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
raising his hands until they were parallel to his shoulders when
he
started the prayer, and when he bowed in Ruku’, and when he raised
his head from Ruku’, but he did not raise them between the two
prostrations.”

It was
narrated that Malik bin Huwairith said that when the Messenger
of
Allah (ﷺ) said Allahu Akbar, he would raise his hands until they
were close to his ears; when he bowed in Ruku’ he did likewise, and
when he raised his head from Ruku’ he did likewise.

“I saw the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) raising his hands during prayer until they were parallel with
his shoulders when he started to pray, when he bowed and when he
prostrated.”

It was
narrated that Muhammad bin `Amr bin `Ata’ said, concerning Abu
Humaid As-Sa`di:
“I heard him when he was among ten of the
Companions
of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), one of whom was Abu
Qatadah bin
Rib`i, saying: ‘I am the most knowledgeable of you
about the prayer of the Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ). When he stood up for prayer, he
stood up straight and
raised his hands until they were parallel to
his shoulders, then he
said: Allahu Akbar. When he wanted to bow in
Ruku`, he raised his
hands until they were parallel to his
shoulders. When he said Sami`
Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears
those who praise Him), he raised his
hands and stood up straight.
When he stood up after two Rak`ah, he
said Allahu Akbar and raised
his hands until they were parallel to his
shoulders, as he did when
he started the prayer.’”

“Abu Humaid, Abu Usaid As-Sa’di, Sahl
bin Sa’d, and Muhammad bin Maslamah came together and spoke about
the
prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Abu Humaid said: ‘I am

Akbar,
and raised his hands, then he raised them when he said Allahu

straight
until every bone had returned to its place.’”

“When the Prophet (ﷺ)
stood up to offer a prescribed prayer, he said Allahu Akbar and
raised
his hands until they were parallel to his shoulders. When he
wanted to

likewise; and when he stood up after the two prostrations he did
likewise.”*
It was

raise
his hands when he entered prayer, and when he bowed in Ruku’.”

the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and see how he performs the prayer.’ He

It was
narrated from Abu Zubair that Jabir bin ‘Abdullah would raise
his
hands when he began the prayer, and when he bowed, and when he
raised
(his head) from Ruku’ he would do likewise, and he said:
“I saw
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) doing that.” (One of the narrators)
said:
“Ibrahim bin Tahman (one of the narrators) raised his hands
to his
ears.”

(to the
Prophet (ﷺ)) said:
“We set out until we came to the
Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ), and we gave him our oath of allegiance and
performed
prayer behind him. He glanced out of the corner of his eye
at a man
who was not settling his spine when he bowed and prostrated.
When the
Prophet (ﷺ) finished the prayer, he said: ‘O Muslims, there
is no
prayer for the one who does not settle his spine when bowing and
prostrating.’”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ قَالَ " سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ مِلْءَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَمِلْءَ الأَرْضِ وَمِلْءَ مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ شَىْءٍ بَعْدُ "
“I heard Abu Juhaifah say: Good
fortune was mentioned in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
while he was performing prayer. A man said: ‘so-and-so’s fortune
is in
horses.’ Another man said: ‘So-and-so’s fortune is in
camels.’ Another
man said: ‘So-and-so’s fortune is in sheep.’
Another man said: ‘So-
and-so’s fortune is in slaves.’ While the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was
finishing his prayer, he raised his head
at the end of the last Rak’ah
and said: ‘Allahumma Rabbana
lakal-hamd mil’ as-samawati wa mil’ al-
ard wa mil’ ma shi’ta
min shai’in ba’du. Allahumma la mani’ lima
a’taita wa la
mu’ti lima mana’ta, wa la yanfa’u dhal-jaddi minkal-jadd
(Allah
hears those who praise Him. O Allah! O our Lord! To You is the
praise
as much as fills the heavens, as much as fills the earth and as
much
as You will after that. O Allah, there is none who can withhold
what
You give, and none who can give what You withhold, and the good
fortune of any fortunate person is to no avail against You).’ The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) elongated the word Jadd (fortune) so that
they would know that it was not as they had said.”
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُوسَى السُّدِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جُحَيْفَةَ، يَقُولُ ذُكِرَتِ الْجُدُودُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ جَدُّ فُلاَنٍ فِي الْخَيْلِ . وَقَالَ آخَرُ جَدُّ فُلاَنٍ فِي الإِبِلِ . وَقَالَ آخَرُ جَدُّ فُلاَنٍ فِي الْغَنَمِ . وَقَالَ آخَرُ جَدُّ فُلاَنٍ فِي الرَّقِيقِ . فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ صَلاَتَهُ وَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ آخِرِ الرَّكْعَةِ قَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ مِلْءَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَمِلْءَ الأَرْضِ وَمِلْءَ مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ شَىْءٍ بَعْدُ اللَّهُمَّ لاَ مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَلاَ مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ وَلاَ يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ " . وَطَوَّلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ صَوْتَهُ بِالْجَدِّ لِيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ .
It was
narrated from Maimunah that when the Prophet (ﷺ) prostrated,
he
would hold his forearms away from his sides, such that if a lamb
wanted to pass under his arms, it would be able to do so.
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الأَصَمِّ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، يَزِيدَ بْنِ الأَصَمِّ عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَانَ إِذَا سَجَدَ جَافَى يَدَيْهِ فَلَوْ أَنَّ بَهْمَةً أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَمُرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ لَمَرَّتْ .
It was
narrated from (`Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah) bin Aqram Al-Khuza`i
that his father said:
“I was with my father on the plain in
Namirah,*
when some riders passed us and made their camels kneel down
at the
side of the road. My father said to me: ‘Stay with your
lambs until I
go to those people and see what they want.’ He said:
Then he (my
father) went out and I came, (i.e., I came near,) then
there was the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and the time for prayer came
so I prayed
with them, and I was looking at the whiteness of the
armpits of the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) every time he prostrated.”
Ibn Majah said: The people say `Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah, but Abu Bakr bin Abu Shaibah said: "The people say `Abdullah bin `Ubaidullah."
Muhammad bin Bashshar said: "`Abdur-Rahman bin Mahdi, Safwan bin `Eisa and Abu Dawud all said: 'Dawud bin Qais narrated to us, from `Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah bin Aqram, from his father, from the Prophet (ﷺ).'" With similar wording.

“I saw the Prophet (ﷺ)
when
he prostrated and put his knees on the ground before his hands,
and
when he stood up after prostrating, he took his hands off the
ground
before his knees.”

Ahmar,
the Companion of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), narrated to us:
“We
used to feel sorry for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) because he
took
pains to keep his arms away from his sides when he prostrated.”

“When the following was revealed:
‘So
glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most Great’,[69:52] the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to us: ‘Say this in your Ruku’.’
And
when the following was revealed: ‘Glorify the Name of your
Lord, the
Most High.’[87:1] the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to
us: ‘Say this
in your prostrations.’”
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ رَافِعٍ الْبَجَلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ الْغَافِقِيِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَمِّي، إِيَاسَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ، يَقُولُ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ} قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " اجْعَلُوهَا فِي رُكُوعِكُمْ " . فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى} قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " اجْعَلُوهَا فِي سُجُودِكُمْ " .
It was
narrated from Hudhaifah bin Al-Yaman that he heard the
Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) say when he bowed:
“Subhana Rabbiyal-‘Azim
(Glory is
to my Lord, the Most Great)” three times, and when he
prostrated he
said: “Subhana Rabbiyal-A’la (Glory is to my Lord the
Most High)”
three times.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَزْهَرِ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ إِذَا رَكَعَ " سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ " . ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ قَالَ " سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الأَعْلَى " . ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ .
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
often
used to say when bowing and prostrating: ‘Subhanak Allahumma wa
bi
hamdika, Allahummaghfir li (Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise; O
Allah forgive me),’ following the command given by the
Qur’an.”[Surat
An-Nasr (110)]
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يُكْثِرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ فِي رُكُوعِهِ وَسُجُودِهِ " سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي " . يَتَأَوَّلُ الْقُرْآنَ .
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘When anyone of you bows, let him say in his bowing: “Subhana
Rabbiyal-‘Azim (Glory is to my Lord, the Most Great)” three
times; if
he does that his bowing will be complete. And when anyone
of you
prostrates, let him say in his prostration, ‘Subhana
Rabbiyal-A’la
(Glory if to my Lord, the Most High)” three times;
if he does that,
his prostration will be complete, and that is the
minimum.’”
“When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
raised his head from bowing, he would not prostrate until he had
stood
up straight. When he prostrated, he would raise his head and
not
prostrate again until he had sat up straight. And he used to
spread
out his left leg.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ، عَنْ بُدَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْجَوْزَاءِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ لَمْ يَسْجُدْ حَتَّى يَسْتَوِيَ قَائِمًا فَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ لَمْ يَسْجُدْ حَتَّى يَسْتَوِيَ جَالِسًا وَكَانَ يَفْتَرِشُ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى .
“The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me:
‘When you raise your head from prostration, do not squat like a
dog. Put your buttocks between your feet and let the tops of your
feet touch the ground.”
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الصَّبَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَنْبَأَنَا الْعَلاَءُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِذَا رَفَعْتَ رَأْسَكَ مِنَ السُّجُودِ فَلاَ تُقْعِ كَمَا يُقْعِي الْكَلْبُ ضَعْ أَلْيَتَيْكَ بَيْنَ قَدَمَيْكَ وَأَلْزِقْ ظَاهِرَ قَدَمَيْكَ بِالأَرْضِ "
“When praying at night
(Qiyamul-Lail), the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say between the
two prostrations: ‘Rabbighfir li warhamni wajburni warzuqni
warfa’ni
(O Lord, forgive me, have mercy on me, improve my
situation, grant me
provision and raise me in status).’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ صَبِيحٍ، عَنْ كَامِلٍ أَبِي الْعَلاَءِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حَبِيبَ بْنَ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ فِي صَلاَةِ اللَّيْلِ " رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَاجْبُرْنِي وَارْزُقْنِي وَارْفَعْنِي "
“When we performed
prayer with the Prophet (ﷺ) we said: ‘Peace be upon Allah from
His
slaves, peace be upon Jibra’il and Mika’il and so-and-so and
so-and-
so.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) heard us and said: ‘Do
not say peace
(Salam) be upon Allah, for He is As-Salam. When you sit
(during
prayer) say: At-Tahiyyatu lillahi was-salawatu wat-tayyibatu;
as-
salamu ‘alayka ayyuhan-Nabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu;
as-
salamu ‘alayna wa ‘ala ‘ibadillahis-salihin (All
compliments, prayers
and good words are due to Allah; peace be upon
you, O Prophet, and the
mercy of Allah and His blessings; peace be
upon us and upon the
righteous slaves of Allah).” For as you say
that it will reach every
righteous slave in the heavens and on earth.
(Then say:) “Ashhadu an
la ilaha illallah wa ashhadu anna
Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa Rasuluhu (I
bear witness that none has the
right to be worshipped but Allah, and I
bear witness that Muhammad is
His slave and Messenger).”
(Another chain) with similar wording.
(Another chain) that `Abdullah bin Mas`ud said: "The Prophet (ﷺ) used to teach us the Tashahhud." And he mentioned similarly.

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
addressed us and explained the Sunnah for us, and he taught us our
prayer. He said: ‘When you perform prayer, and you are sitting, let
the first thing you say be: At-Tahiyyatut-tayyibatus-salawatu lillah;

It was
narrated from Abu Humaid As-Sa’di that they said:

“I heard ‘Abdullah

(ﷺ)
said: “There is no Muslim who sends peace and blessings upon
me, but
the angels will send peace and blessings upon him as long as
he sends
peace and blessings upon me. So let a person do a little of
that or a
lot.”
حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ أَبُو بِشْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يُصَلِّي عَلَىَّ إِلاَّ صَلَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ مَا صَلَّى عَلَىَّ فَلْيُقِلَّ الْعَبْدُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَوْ لِيُكْثِرْ "
“I heard Abu Hurairah say that the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘When anyone of you finishes the
last
Tashah-hud, let him seek refuge with Allah from four things:
From the
torment of Hell, from the torment of the grave, from the
trials of
life and death, and from the Fitnah (tribulation) of
Masihud-Dajjal.’
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said
to a man: ‘What do you say during your Salat?’ He said: ‘The
Tashah-hud, then I ask Allah for Paradise, and I seek refuge with Him
from Hell, but I do not understand what you and Mu’adh murmur
(during
Salat). He said: ‘Our murmuring revolves around the same
things.’”

“I saw the Prophet (ﷺ)
making a circle with his thumb and middle finger, and raising the one
next to it (the index finger), supplicating with it during the
Tashah-hud.”
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَدْ حَلَّقَ الإِبْهَامَ وَالْوُسْطَى وَرَفَعَ الَّتِي تَلِيهِمَا يَدْعُو بِهَا فِي التَّشَهُّدِ .
It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to sit
during
prayer, putting his hands on his knees and raising his right
finger
which was next to his thumb, supplicating with it, and with his
left
hand (spread out) on his knee.

It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used
to
say the Salam to his right and his left, until the whiteness of his
cheek could be seen (saying):
“As-salamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullah

“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) used to say the Salam to his right and to his left, until the
whiteness of his cheek could be seen (saying): ‘As-salamu ‘alaikum

“Ali led us in prayer on the day
of
(the battle of) the Camel, in a way that reminded us of the prayer
of
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Either we had forgotten it or we had
abandoned it. He said the Salam to his right and to his left.”
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، قَالَ صَلَّى بِنَا عَلِيٌّ يَوْمَ الْجَمَلِ صَلاَةً ذَكَّرَنَا صَلاَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَإِمَّا أَنْ نَكُونَ نَسِينَاهَا وَإِمَّا أَنْ نَكُونَ تَرَكْنَاهَا فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ وَعَلَى شِمَالِهِ .
‘Abdul-Muhaimin bin ‘Abbas bin Sahl bin Sa’d As-Sa’idi
narrated from
his father, from his grandfather, that the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ)
said one Taslim to the front.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُصْعَبٍ الْمَدِينِيُّ، أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمُهَيْمِنِ بْنُ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيمَةً وَاحِدَةً تِلْقَاءَ وَجْهِهِ .
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘No
person should lead others in prayer, then supplicate only
for himself
and not for them. If he does that, he has betrayed them.’”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى الْحِمْصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَىٍّ الْمُؤَذِّنِ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " لاَ يَؤُمُّ عَبْدٌ فَيَخُصَّ نَفْسَهُ بِدَعْوَةٍ دُونَهُمْ فَإِنْ فَعَلَ فَقَدْ خَانَهُمْ "
“When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said the Salam, he would sit only for as long as it took to say:
‘Allahumma Antas-Salam wa minkas-salam. Tabarakta ya Dhal-jalali
wal-
ikram. (O Allah, You are As-Salam, From You is all peace, blessed
are
You O Possessor of majesty and honour).’”
It was
narrated from Umm Salamah that when the Prophet (ﷺ)
performed the
Subh (morning prayer), while he said the Salam, he would say:
‘Allahumma
inni
as’aluka ‘ilman nafi’an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa ‘amalan
mutaqabbalan (O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, goodly
provision and acceptable deeds).’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ، عَنْ مَوْلًى، لأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ حِينَ يُسَلِّمُ " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا وَعَمَلاً مُتَقَبَّلاً "
“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘There are two characteristics which no Muslim man
acquires but he will enter Paradise. They are easy but those who do
them are few. At the end of every prayer he should glorify Allah (by
saying Subhan Allah) ten times, extol Him (by saying Allahu Akbar)
ten
times, and praise Him (by saying Al-Hamdu Lillah) ten times.’ I
saw
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) counting them on his hand. ‘That
is one
hundred and fifty (after all the prayers of the day) on the
tongue,
and one thousand and five hundred on the Scale. And when he
goes to
his bed, let him glorify Allah and praise Him and extol Him
one
hundred times. That will be one hundred on the tongue and one
thousand
on the Scale. Who among you does two thousand and five
hundred evil
actions in one day?’ They said: ‘Who would not be
keen to do that?’ He
said: ‘But the Shaitan comes to anyone of
you while he is performing
prayer and says: ‘Remember such and
such, remember such and such,”
until the person becomes distracted
and does not understand (what he
is saying). And he comes to him when
he is in his bed, and makes him
sleepy such that he sleeps.’”
“It was said to the Prophet
(ﷺ) and
perhaps (one of the narrators) Sufyan said: I said: O
Messenger of
Allah! Those who have property and wealth have surpassed
us in
reward. They say the same as we do, and they spend but we do not
spend.’ He said to me: ‘Shall I not tell you something which, if
you
do it, you will catch up with those who have surpassed you and
you
will excel over those who come after you? Praise Allah (by saying
Al-
Hamdu Lillah) after every prayer, and glorify Him (by saying
Subhan-
Allah) and extol Him (by saying Allahu Akbar), thirty-three,
thirty-
three, and thirty-four times.’” Sufyan said: “I do not
know which of
them was to be recited thirty-four times.”
Thawban
narrated that when he finished his prayer, the Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) would ask for forgiveness three times, then he would say:
“Allahumma Antas-Salam wa minkas-salam tabarakta ya Dhal-jalali
wal-
ikram” (O Allah, You are As-Salam and from You is all peace,
Blessed
are You O Possessor of majesty and honour).”
“ ‘Abdullah (bin Mas’ud) said: ‘None
of you should apportion within himself a part (of his prayer)
thinking
that it is a right of Allah upon him that he must only turn
to his
right to leave after finishing the prayer. I saw the Messenger
of
Allah (ﷺ) and most of the time he turned to his left.’”

“When the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
said the Salam, the women would stand up when he finished his
Taslim,
and he would stay where he was for a little while before
standing up.
(i.e. to depart).”

“The Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘If food is served and the Iqamah for prayer is
given, then start with the food.”
He said: "Ibn 'Umar ate dinner one night while he could hear the Iqamah."

“I went out on a rainy night
(for
congregational prayer), and when I came back I asked for the door
to
be opened. My father said: ‘Who is this?’ I said: ‘Abu Malih.’
He
said: ‘We were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) at Hudaybiyah
and it
rained a little, such that the soles of our sandals did not
get wet.
The announcer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) called out:
‘Perform
your prayer at your camps.’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ، قَالَ خَرَجْتُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مَطِيرَةٍ فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ اسْتَفْتَحْتُ فَقَالَ أَبِي مَنْ هَذَا قَالَ أَبُو الْمَلِيحِ . قَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَأَصَابَتْنَا سَمَاءٌ لَمْ تَبُلَّ أَسَافِلَ نِعَالِنَا فَنَادَى مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " صَلُّوا فِي رِحَالِكُمْ "
It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Harith bin Nawfal that Ibn ‘Abbas
commanded the Mu’adh-dhin to call the Adhan one Friday, which was a
rainy day. He said:
“Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Ashhadu an la
ilaha
illallah, Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah (Allah is the Most
Great,
Allah is Most Great, I bear witness that none has the right to
be
worshipped but Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the
Messenger of
Allah).” Then he (Ibn ‘Abbas) said: “Proclaim to
the people that they
should pray in their houses.” The people said
to him: “What is this
that you have done?” He said: “One who is
better than me did that. Are
you telling me that I should bring the
people out of their houses and
make them come to me wading through
the mud up to their knees?”
It was
narrated from Musa bin Talhah that his father said:
“We used
to
perform prayer while the beasts were passing in front of us. That
was
mentioned to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said: ‘If
something like the hand of a saddle* is placed in front of anyone of
you, it will not matter whoever passes in front of him.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كُنَّا نُصَلِّي وَالدَّوَابُّ تَمُرُّ بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ " مِثْلُ مُؤْخِرَةِ الرَّحْلِ تَكُونُ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلاَ يَضُرُّهُ مَنْ مَرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ "
“A small spear (Harbah) would be
brought out to the Prophet (ﷺ) when he was travelling; he would
plant it (in the ground) to perform prayer while facing it.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ الْمَكِّيُّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ تُخْرَجُ لَهُ حَرْبَةٌ فِي السَّفَرِ فَيَنْصِبُهَا فَيُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا .
“The Messenger of Allah had a reed
mat that he would spread out during the day, and make into a
compartment at night, towards which he would perform prayer.”

It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“When
anyone of you performs prayer, let him put something in front of him.
If he cannot find anything then let him put a stick. If he cannot
find
one, then let him draw a line. Then it will not matter if
anything
passes in front of him.”
“They sent me to Zaid bin Khalid to ask him
about
passing in front of one who is performing prayer. He told me
that the
Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Waiting for forty is better than passing
in
front of one who is performing prayer.’”
(One of the narrators) Sufyan said: "I do not know if he meant forty years, months, days, or hours."
It was
narrated from Busr bin Sa’eed that Zaid bin Khalid sent word
to Abu
Juhaim Al-Ansari asking him:
“What did you hear from the
Prophet
(ﷺ) about a man when he is performing prayer?” He said: “I
heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying: ‘If anyone of you knew (how great
is
the sin involved) when he passed in front of his brother who is
performing prayer, then waiting for forty’,” (one of the
narrators)
said: “I do not know if he meant forty years, forty
months, or forty
days, ‘would be better for him than that.”

“The Prophet (ﷺ) was
performing
prayer in the house of Umm Salamah, and ‘Abdullah or ‘Umar
bin
Abu Salamah passed in front of him; he gestured his hand, and he
went
back. Then Zainab bint Umm Salamah passed in front of him, and he
gestured his hand, but she kept going. When the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) finished his prayer, he said: ‘These (women) are more
stubborn.’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، - هُوَ قَاصُّ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ - عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يُصَلِّي فِي حُجْرَةِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَمَرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَوْ عُمَرُ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَ بِيَدِهِ فَرَجَعَ فَمَرَّتْ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا فَمَضَتْ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " هُنَّ أَغْلَبُ "
It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Samit from Abu Dharr, that the
Prophet
(ﷺ) said:
“The prayer is severed by a woman, a donkey, and a
black dog, if there is not something like the handle of a saddle in
front of a man.” I (‘Abdullah) said: “What is wrong with a
black dog
and not a red one?” He (Abu Dharr) said: ‘I asked the
Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) the same question, and he said: “The black
dog is a
Shaitan (satan).”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " يَقْطَعُ الصَّلاَةَ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ الرَّجُلِ مِثْلُ مُؤْخِرَةِ الرَّحْلِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْكَلْبُ الأَسْوَدُ " . قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا بَالُ الأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الأَحْمَرِ فَقَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَمَا سَأَلْتَنِي فَقَالَ " الْكَلْبُ الأَسْوَدُ شَيْطَانٌ " .
‘Mention was made in the
presence of Ibn ‘Abbas about what severs the prayer. They mentioned
a
dog, a donkey and a woman. He said: ‘What do you say about kids
(young
goats)? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was performing prayer one
day,
when a kid came and wanted to pass in front of him. The
Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) preceded it toward the Qiblah. (to tighten
the space and
prevent it from passing in front of him).’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، أَنْبَأَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى أَبُو الْمُعَلَّى، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ الْعُرَنِيِّ، قَالَ ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَا يَقْطَعُ الصَّلاَةَ فَذَكَرُوا الْكَلْبَ وَالْحِمَارَ وَالْمَرْأَةَ فَقَالَ مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي الْجَدْىِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَانَ يُصَلِّي يَوْمًا فَذَهَبَ جَدْىٌ يَمُرُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَبَادَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ الْقِبْلَةَ .
It was
narrated from ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Sa’eed that his father
said:
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘When anyone of you performs
prayer, let him pray facing towards a Sutrah, and let him get close
to
it, and not let anyone pass in front of him. If someone comes and
wants to pass in front of him, let him fight him, for he is a Shaitan
(satan).’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيُصَلِّ إِلَى سُتْرَةٍ وَلْيَدْنُ مِنْهَا وَلاَ يَدَعْ أَحَدًا يَمُرُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَإِنْ جَاءَ أَحَدٌ يَمُرَّ فَلْيُقَاتِلْهُ فَإِنَّهُ شَيْطَانٌ "
It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said:
“When anyone of you is performing prayer, he should not
let anyone pass in front of him. If he insists then let him fight
him,
for he has a Qarin (devil-companion) with him.”
“The Prophet (ﷺ)
used to
perform prayer when I was opposite to him, and his garment
would
sometimes touch me when he prostrated.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي مَيْمُونَةُ، زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يُصَلِّي وَأَنَا بِحِذَائِهِ وَرُبَّمَا أَصَابَنِي ثَوْبُهُ إِذَا سَجَدَ .
“The Prophet (ﷺ) used to
teach
us not to bow or prostrate before the Imam; when he says the
Takbir
then say the Takbir, and when he prostrates, you should
prostrate.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يُعَلِّمُنَا أَنْ لاَ نُبَادِرَ الإِمَامَ بِالرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ وَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَاسْجُدُوا .
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘I
have gained weight, so when I bow, then bow, and when I stand
up,
then stand up, and when I prostrate, then prostrate. I should
never
find anyone preceding me in bowing or prostration.’”
It was
narrated that Mu’awiyah bin Abu Sufyan said:
“The Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Do not bow or prostrate before me. No matter how
far ahead of you I bow, you will catch up with me when I stand up,
and
no matter how far ahead of you I prostrate, you will catch up
with me
when I raise my head. I have become bulky.’”
It was
narrated from Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
saw a man who had interlocked his fingers during the prayer, so
the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) separated his fingers.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الدَّارِمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ رَأَى رَجُلاً قَدْ شَبَّكَ أَصَابِعَهُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَفَرَّجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ .
“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘There are three whose prayer are not accepted: A man
who
leads people while they do not like him; a man who does not come
to
prayer until its end – meaning after its time has expired –
and one
who enslaves a freed person.’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَجَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنِ الإِفْرِيقِيِّ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " ثَلاَثَةٌ لاَ تُقْبَلُ لَهُمْ صَلاَةٌ الرَّجُلُ يَؤُمُّ الْقَوْمَ وَهُمْ لَهُ كَارِهُونَ وَالرَّجُلُ لاَ يَأْتِي الصَّلاَةَ إِلاَّ دِبَارًا - يَعْنِي بَعْدَ مَا يَفُوتُهُ الْوَقْتُ - وَمَنِ اعْتَبَدَ مُحَرَّرًا "
It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“There are three whose prayer do not rise more than a hand span
above their heads: A man who leads people (in prayer) when they do
not
like him; a woman who has spent the night with her husband angry
with
her; and two brothers who have severed contact with one
another.”
“I stayed overnight with my
maternal aunt Maimunah, and the Prophet (ﷺ) got up during the night
to perform prayer. So I got up and stood on his left. He took me by
the hand and made me stand on his right.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّوَارِبِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ بِتُّ عِنْدَ خَالَتِي مَيْمُونَةَ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقُمْتُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَأَقَامَنِي عَنْ يَمِينِهِ .
“I heard Jabir bin ‘Abdullah say: ‘The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) was performing Maghrib, and I came and stood on his left,
but
he made me stand on his right.’”
حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ أَبُو بِشْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُرَحْبِيلُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يُصَلِّي الْمَغْرِبَ فَجِئْتُ فَقُمْتُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَأَقَامَنِي عَنْ يَمِينِهِ .
“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) used to gently pat our shoulders (to make sure the row was
straight) at the time of prayer, saying: ‘Keep (the rows) straight,
do
not differ from one another lest your hearts should suffer from
discord. Let those who are forbearing and wise stand closest to me,
then those who are next to them, then those who are next to them.’”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَمْسَحُ مَنَاكِبَنَا فِي الصَّلاَةِ وَيَقُولُ " لاَ تَخْتَلِفُوا فَتَخْتَلِفَ قُلُوبُكُمْ لِيَلِيَنِي مِنْكُمْ أُولُو الأَحْلاَمِ وَالنُّهَى ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ "
“I came to the Prophet
(ﷺ) with a friend of mine, and when we wanted to leave, he said to
us: ‘When the time for prayer comes, say the Adhan and Iqamah, then
let the older of you lead the prayer.’”
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ الصَّوَّافُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنَا وَصَاحِبٌ لِي فَلَمَّا أَرَدْنَا الاِنْصِرَافَ قَالَ لَنَا " إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَأَذِّنَا وَأَقِيمَا وَلْيَؤُمَّكُمَا أَكْبَرُكُمَا "
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The people
should be lead by the one who is most well-Versed in recitation of
the
Book of Allah. If they are equal in recitation, then they should
be
led by the one who emigrated first. If they are equal in
emigration,
then they should be led by the eldest. A man should not
be led among
his family or in his place of authority; no one should
be sat in his
place of honour in his house without permission, or
without his
permission.’”
“Sahl bin Sa’d As-Sa’idi used to give preference to
the
young to lead his people in prayer. It was said to him: “Do you do
that, when you have such seniority (in Islam)?” He said: “I heard
the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘The Imam is responsible. If he
does
well, then he will have the reward and so will they, but if he
does
badly, then that will be counted against him but not against
them.’”
It was
narrated that Salamah bint Hurr, the sister of Kharashah, said:
“I
heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: ‘A time will come when the people will
stand for a long time and will not be able to find any Imam to lead
them in prayer.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ أُمِّ غُرَابٍ، عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ، يُقَالُ لَهَا عَقِيلَةُ عَنْ سَلاَمَةَ بِنْتِ الْحُرِّ، أُخْتِ خَرَشَةَ قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ " يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَقُومُونَ سَاعَةً لاَ يَجِدُونَ إِمَامًا يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ "
It was
narrated from Abu ‘Ali Al-Hamdani that he went out in a ship in
which ‘Uqbah bin ‘Amir Al-Juhani was present. The time for prayer
came, and we told him to lead us in prayer and said to him:
“You
are
the most deserving of that, you were the Companion of the
Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ).” But he refused and said: “I heard the
Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) say: ‘Whoever leads the people and gets it
right, the prayer
will be for him and for them, but if he falls
short, then that will be
counted against him but not against them.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحْرِزُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْعَدَنِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَرْمَلَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ فِي سَفِينَةٍ فِيهَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيُّ فَحَانَتْ صَلاَةٌ مِنَ الصَّلَوَاتِ فَأَمَرْنَاهُ أَنْ يَؤُمَّنَا وَقُلْنَا لَهُ إِنَّكَ أَحَقُّنَا بِذَلِكَ أَنْتَ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَأَبَى فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ " مَنْ أَمَّ النَّاسَ فَأَصَابَ فَالصَّلاَةُ لَهُ وَلَهُمْ وَمَنِ انْتَقَصَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَعَلَيْهِ وَلاَ عَلَيْهِمْ "
“A man came to the Prophet
(ﷺ)
and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! I stay behind and do not
perform
the morning prayer (in congregation) because of so-and-so, for
he
makes it too long for us.’ I never saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
preaching with such anger as he did that day. He said; ‘O people!
There are among you those who repel others. Whoever among you leads
others in prayer, let him keep it short, for among them are those who
are weak and elderly, and those who have pressing needs.’”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَتَأَخَّرُ فِي صَلاَةِ الْغَدَاةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ فُلاَنٍ لِمَا يُطِيلُ بِنَا فِيهَا . قَالَ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَطُّ فِي مَوْعِظَةٍ أَشَدَّ غَضَبًا مِنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ مُنَفِّرِينَ فَأَيُّكُمْ مَا صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ فَلْيُجَوِّزْ فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الضَّعِيفَ وَالْكَبِيرَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ "
“Mu’adh bin Jabal Al-Ansari led his
companions in the ‘Isha’ prayer and he made it long. A man among
us
went away and prayed by himself. Mu’adh was told about that and
he
said: ‘He is a hypocrite.’ When the man heard about that, he
went to
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and told him what Mu’adh had
said to him.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Do you want to be a cause of
Fitnah (trial,
tribulation), O Mu’adh? When you lead the people in
prayer, recite “By
the sun and its brightness,”[Ash-Shams 91] and
“Glorify the Name of
your Lord the Most High,” [Al-A’la 87] and
“By the night as it
envelopes,” [Al-Lail 92] and “Recite in the
Name of your
Lord.’”[Al-‘Alaq]

It was
narrated that Mutarrif bin ‘Abdullah bin Shikhkhir said:
“I
heard
‘Uthman bin Abul-‘As say: “The last thing that the Prophet
(ﷺ)
enjoined on me when he appointed me governor of Ta’if was
that he
said: “O ‘Uthman! Be tolerable in prayer and estimate the
people based
upon the weakest among them, for among them are the
elderly, the
young, the sick, those who live far from the mosque, and
those who
have pressing needs.”
“The Messenger of Allah

It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Abu Qatadah that his father said:

It was
narrated that Jabir bin Samurah As-Suwa’i said:
“The Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Will you not form your rows as the angels form

their rows before their Lord?’ He said: ‘They complete the first
row and they stand close of one another in the line (leaving no gaps
between one another).’”

Simak bin
Harb narrated that he heard Nu’man bin Bashir say:
“The
Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) used to straighten the rows until he made
them like a
spear or an arrow-shaft. Once he saw a man’s chest
(sticking out)

straight or
Allah will create division among you.’”

‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Ali bin Shaiban narrated that his father, ‘Ali
bin
Shaiban, who was part of the delegation, said:
“We set out
until we
came to the Prophet (ﷺ). We gave him our oath of
allegiance and
performed prayer behind him. Then we offered another
prayer behind
him. He finished the prayer and saw a man on his own,
praying behind
the row.” He said: “The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ)
stood beside him and
when he finished he said: ‘Repeat your prayer;
there is no prayer for
the one who is behind the row.’”

“When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
finished Tawaf around the House (the Ka’bah), he came to Maqam of
Ibrahim (the Station of Ibrahim). ‘Umar said: ‘O Messenger of
Allah,
this is the Station of our father Ibrahim about which Allah
said: “And
take you (people) the Maqam of Ibrahim as a place of
prayer.’” [2:125]
It was
narrated that Anas bin Malik told that ‘Umar said:
“I said: ‘O
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), why do you not take the Maqam of Ibrahim as
a place of prayer?’ Then the following was revealed: ‘And take
you
(people) the Maqam of Ibrahim as a place of prayer.’” [2:125]
“We prayed with the Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) facing towards Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem) for eighteen
months,
then the Qiblah was changed to the Ka’bah two months after the
Prophet (ﷺ) entered Al-Madinah. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
prayed towards Baitul-Maqdis, he would often lift his face towards
the
heavens, and Allah knew what was in the heart of His Prophet and
how
he longed to face the Ka’bah (during prayer). Jibril appeared
(in the
sky), and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) started watching him
as he was
descending between the heavens and the earth, waiting to
see what he
would bring. Then Allah revealed the words: ‘Verily, We
have seen the
turning of your face towards the heaven. Surely, We
shall turn you to
a Qiblah that shall please you, so turn your face
in the direction of
Al-Masjid Al-Haram (at Makkah). And wherever you
people are, turn your
faces (during prayer) in that direction.’
[2:144] Then someone came to
us and said: ‘The Qiblah has been
changed to the Ka’bah.’ We had
performed two Rak’ah facing
towards Jerusalem. And we were bowing. So
we turned around, and we
continued our prayer. The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘O Jibril!
What about our prayer facing towards Baitul-
Maqdis?’ Then Allah
revealed the words: “And Allah would never make
your faith to be
lost.” [2:143]

It was
narrated from Ma’dan bin Abu Talhah Al-Ya’muri that ‘Umar bin
Khattab stood up one Friday to deliver a sermon, or, he delivered a
sermon one Friday. He praised Allah, then he said:
“O people, you
eat
two plants that I find are nothing but obnoxious; this garlic and
this
onion. At the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), if a foul
odour
was detected from a man, I would see him seized by the arm and
taken
out to Al-Baqi’. Whoever must eat them, let him cook them to
death.”
“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) came to the mosque at Quba’ and performed prayer there.
Some
men of the Ansar came and greeted him. I asked Suhaib, who was
with
him: ‘How did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) respond to them?’ He
said: ‘He gestured with his hand.’”

“The Prophet (ﷺ) sent me on an
errand,
then I caught up with him while he was performing prayer, and
I
greeted him. He gestured to me, then when he finished, he called me
and said: ‘You greeted me before, but I was performing prayer.’”

It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amir bin Rabi’ah that his father
said:
“We were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on a journey, and
the
sky was overcast so it was difficult for us to determine the
Qiblah.
So we performed prayer, and we marked the location.* Later,
when the
sun reappeared, we realized that we had prayed facing a
direction
other than the Qiblah. We mentioned that to the Prophet
(ﷺ), then
the Words were revealed: ‘So wherever you turn there is
the Face of
Allah.’” [2:115]

It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
saw some
sputum in the direction of the Qiblah of the mosque. He
turned to the
people and said:
“What is wrong with one of you that he
stands
facing Him (meaning his Lord) and spits in front of Him? Would
anyone
like to be faced by someone who spits in his face? If anyone of
you
needs to spit, then let him spit to his left, or let him do like
this
in his garment.”
It was
narrated from Hudhaifah that he saw Shabath bin Rib’i spitting
in
front of him. He said:
“O Shabath! Do not spit in front of you, for
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to forbid that, and he said: ‘When
a
man stands up to perform prayer, Allah turns His Face towards him
until he turns away or he commits an evil Hadath.’”*
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
‘When anyone of you gets up to perform prayer, then indeed mercy
is
facing him, so he should not smooth the pebbles.’”

will snatch away their sight.’”
“A woman used to perform prayer
behind the Prophet (ﷺ), and she was one of the most beautiful of
people. Some of the people used to go into the first row so that they
would not see her, and some of them used to lag behind so that they
would be in the last row, and when they bowed, they would do like
this
so that they could see her from beneath their armpits. Then
Allah
revealed: “And indeed, We know the first generations of you
who had
passed away, and indeed, We know the present generations of
you
(mankind), and also those who will some afterwards.” [15:24]
concerning her matter.
“A man came to the Prophet
(ﷺ)
and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! One of us performs prayer in a
single garment.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Does everyone have two
garments?’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَهِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ أَتَى رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَدُنَا يُصَلِّي فِي الثَّوْبِ الْوَاحِدِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " أَوَكُلُّكُمْ يَجِدُ ثَوْبَيْنِ "
Abu
Sa’eed Al-Khudri narrated that he entered upon the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) when he was performing prayer in a single garment,
wrapping himself in it.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ مُتَوَشِّحًا بِهِ .
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘When a son of Adam recites a Sajdah* and prostrates, Satan
withdraws weeping, saying: ‘Woe is me! The son of Adam was
commanded
to prostrate and he prostrated, and Paradise will be his; I
was
commanded to prostrate and I refused, so I am doomed to Hell.’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِذَا قَرَأَ ابْنُ آدَمَ السَّجْدَةَ فَسَجَدَ اعْتَزَلَ الشَّيْطَانُ يَبْكِي يَقُولُ يَا وَيْلَهُ أُمِرَ ابْنُ آدَمَ بِالسُّجُودِ فَسَجَدَ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَأُمِرْتُ بِالسُّجُودِ فَأَبَيْتُ فَلِيَ النَّارُ "
“I was with the Prophet (ﷺ),
and
a man came to him and said: ‘Last night while I was sleeping, I
saw
that I was praying towards the base of a tree. I recited (an Ayah
of)
prostration and prostrated, and the tree prostrated when I did,
and I
heard it saying: Allahummah-tut anni biha wizran, waktub li biha
ajran, waj’al-ha li ‘indaka dhukhran (O Allah, reduce my burden
of sin
thereby, reward me for it and store it for me with You).’
Ibn ‘Abbas
said: “I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) recite (an Ayah of)
prostration and
then prostrate, and I heard him saying in his
prostration something
like that which the man had told him the tree
said.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ خَلاَّدٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ يَا حَسَنُ أَخْبَرَنِي جَدُّكَ، عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي يَزِيدَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ الْبَارِحَةَ فِيمَا يَرَى النَّائِمُ كَأَنِّي أُصَلِّي إِلَى أَصْلِ شَجَرَةٍ فَقَرَأْتُ السَّجْدَةَ فَسَجَدْتُ فَسَجَدَتِ الشَّجَرَةُ لِسُجُودِي فَسَمِعْتُهَا تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ احْطُطْ عَنِّي بِهَا وِزْرًا وَاكْتُبْ لِي بِهَا أَجْرًا وَاجْعَلْهَا لِي عِنْدَكَ ذُخْرًا . قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَرَأَ السَّجْدَةَ فَسَجَدَ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِهِ مِثْلَ الَّذِي أَخْبَرَهُ الرَّجُلُ عَنْ قَوْلِ الشَّجَرَةِ .
It was
narrated from ‘Ali that whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) prostrated
he
would say:
“Allahumma laka sajadtu, wa bika amantu, wa laka
aslamtu, Anta rabbi, sajada wajhi lilladhi shaqqa sam’ahu wa
basarahu,
tabarak Allah ahsanul-khaliqin (O Allah, to You I have
prostrated, and
in You I have believed, and to You I have submitted.
You are my Lord;
my face has prostrated to the One Who gave it
hearing and sight.
Blessed is Allah the best of Creators).”*
“I performed eleven
prostrations
with the Prophet (ﷺ) of which there were none in the
Mufassal.
Al-A’raf, Ar-Ra’d, An-Nahl, Bani Isra’il, Maryam, Al-Hajj,
the
prostration in Al-Furqan, Surat An-Naml (mentioning) Sulaiman,
As-
Sajdah, Sad, and the Ha-Mim Surah.”
It was
narrated from ‘Amr bin ‘As that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
taught him fifteen prostrations in the Qur’an, including three in
the
Mufassal and two in Al-Hajj.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْعُتَقِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُنَيْنٍ، - مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ كِلاَلٍ - عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَقْرَأَهُ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَجْدَةً فِي الْقُرْآنِ مِنْهَا ثَلاَثٌ فِي الْمُفَصَّلِ وَفِي الْحَجِّ سَجْدَتَيْنِ .
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that a man entered the mosque and
performed prayer, and the Prophet (ﷺ) was in a corner of the
mosque.
The man came and greeted him, and he said:
“And also upon
you. Go back
and repeat your prayer, for you have not prayed.” So
he went back and
repeated his prayer, then he came and greeted the
Prophet (ﷺ). He
said: “And also upon you. Go back and repeat your
prayer, for you have
not prayed.” On the third occasion, the man
said: “Teach me, O
Messenger of Allah!” He said: “When you
stand up to offer the prayer,
perform ablution properly, then stand
to face the prayer direction and
say Allahu Akbar. Then recite
whatever you can of Qur’an, and then bow
until you can feel at ease
bowing. Then stand up until you feel at
ease standing, then prostrate
until you feel at ease prostrating. Then
raise your head until you
are sitting up straight. Do that throughout
your prayer.”
‘While he was among ten of the
Companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) including Abu Qatadah: “I
heard Abu Humaid As-Sa’idi say: ‘I am the most knowledgeable of
you
concerning the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).’ They
said:
‘Why? By Allah, you did not follow him more than we did, and
you did
not accompany him for longer.’ He said: ‘Yes I am.’
They said: ‘Show
us.’ He said: ‘When the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) stood up for prayer,
he would say the Takbir, then he would
raise his hands parallel to his
shoulders, and every part of his body
would settle in place. Then he
would recite, then he would raise his
hands parallel to his shoulders
and bow, placing his palms on his
knees and supporting his weight on
them. He neither lowered his head,
nor raised it up, it was evenly
balanced (between either extreme).
Then he would say: “Sami’ Allahu
liman hamidah (Allah hears those
who praise Him); and he would raise
his hands parallel with his
shoulders, until every bone returned to
its place. Then he would
prostrate himself on the ground, keeping his
arms away from his
sides. Then he would raise his head and tuck his
left foot under him
and sit on it, and he would spread his toes when
he prostrated.* Then
he would prostrate, then say the Takbir and sit
on his left foot,
until every bone returned to its place. Then he
would stand up and do
the same in the next Rak’ah. Then when he stood
up after two
Rak’ah, he would raise his hands level with his shoulders
as he did
at the beginning of the prayer. Then he would offer the rest
of his
prayer in like manner until, when he did the prostration after which
the
Taslim comes, he would push one of his feet back and sit with his
weight on his left side, Mutawarrikan.’** They said: ‘You have
spoken
the truth; this is how the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to
perform
the prayer.’”***

“I asked ‘Aishah: ‘How did the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) perform prayer?’ She said: ‘When the
Prophet
(ﷺ) performed ablution, he would put his hand in the vessel
and say
Bismillah, and he would perform ablution properly. Then he
would stand
and face the Qiblah. He would say the Takbir raising his
hands
parallel to his shoulders. Then he would bow, putting his hands
on his
knees and keeping his arms away from his sides. Then he would
raise
his head and straighten his back, and he would stand a little
longer
than your standing. Then he would prostrate, pointing his
hands
towards the Qiblah, keeping his arms away (from his sides) as
much as
possible, according to what I have seen. Then he would raise
his head
and sit on his left foot with his right foot held upright,
and he
disliked leaning towards his left side.’”

“I asked ‘Umar bin
Khattab: ‘Allah says: “And when you travel in the land, there is
no
sin on you if you shorten the prayer if you fear that the
disbelievers
may put you in trial (attack you), verily, the
disbelievers are ever
to you open enemies,” [4:101] but now there
is security and people are
safe.’ He said: ‘I found it strange
just as you do, so I asked the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about that,
and he said: “It is charity that
Allah has bestowed upon you, so
accept His charity.”
It was
narrated from Umayyah bin ‘Abdullah bin Khalid that he said to
‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
“We find (mention of) the prayer of the
resident
and the prayer in a state of fear in the Qur’an, but we do
not find
any mention of the prayer of the traveler. ‘Abdullah said
to him:
“Allah sent Muhammad (ﷺ) to us, and we did not know
anything, rather
we do what we saw Muhammad (ﷺ) doing.”

It was
narrated from Mujahid, Sa’eed bin Jubair, ‘Ata’ bin Abi Rabah
and Tawus that Ibn ‘Abbas told them that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
used to combine the Maghrib and ‘Isha’ when traveling,
although there
was nothing to make him hurry and no enemy pursuing
him, and he was
not afraid of anything.
It was
narrated from Mu’adh bin Jabal that the Prophet (ﷺ) combined
the
Zuhr and ‘Asr, and the Maghrib and ‘Isha’ when traveling during
the campaign of Tabuk.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فِي السَّفَرِ .
It was
narrated from ‘Isa bin Hafs bin ‘Asim bin ‘Umar bin Khattab
that his father told him:
“We were with Ibn ‘Umar on a journey,
and he led us in prayer. Then we finished with him and he finished
turning around, and saw some people praying. He said: ‘What are
these people doing?’ I said: ‘Glorifying Allah.’* He said: ‘If
I wanted to glorify Allah (perform voluntary prayer) I would have
completed my prayer. O son of my brother! I accompanied the Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) and he never prayed more than two Rak’ah when he was
traveling, until Allah took his soul. Then I accompanied Abu Bakr and
he never prayed more than two Rak’ah (when he was traveling), until
Allah took his soul. Then I accompanied ‘Umar and he never prayed
more than two Rak’ah, until Allah took his soul. Then I accompanied
‘Uthman and he never prayed more than two Rak’ah, until Allah
took his soul. Allah says: ‘Indeed in the Messenger of Allah
(Muhammad (ﷺ)) you have a good example to follow.’” [33:21]
“I asked Tawus about performing voluntary
prayer
while traveling. Al-Hasan bin Muslim bin Yannaq was sitting
with him
and he said: ‘Tawus told me that he heard Ibn ‘Abbas say:
“The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) enjoined prayer while a resident and
prayer
when one is traveling. We used to pray when we were residents
both
before and after (the obligatory prayer), and we used to pray
both
before and after (the obligatory prayer) when we were
traveling.’”
It was
narrated that ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Humaid Az-Zuhri said:
“I asked
Sa’ib bin Yazid: ‘What have you heard about staying in Makkah?’
He
said: ‘I heard ‘Ala’ bin Hadrami say: “The Prophet (ﷺ)
said: ‘Three
(days) for the Muhajir after departing (from Mina).’”*

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
stayed for nineteen days in which he shortened his prayer to two
Rak’ah. So, whenever we stayed for nineteen days we would shorten
our
prayer to two Rak’ah, but if we stayed more than that we would
pray
four Rak’ah.”

in Makkah for fifteen nights during the year of the Conquest,
(during
which time) he shortened his prayer.

“We went out with the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) from Al-Madinah to Makkah, during which time
we shortened our prayer to two Rak’ah, until we came back.” I
asked:
“How long did he stay in Makkah?” He said: “Ten (days).”
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، وَعَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى رَجَعْنَا . قُلْتُ كَمْ أَقَامَ بِمَكَّةَ قَالَ عَشْرًا .
“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) delivered a sermon to us and said: ‘O people! Repent to
Allah
before you die. Hasten to do good deeds before you become
preoccupied
(because of sickness and old age). Uphold the relationship
that
exists between you and your Lord by remembering Him a great deal
and
by giving a great deal of charity in secret and openly. (Then) you
will be granted provision and Divine support, and your condition will
improve. Know that Allah has enjoined Friday upon you in this place
of
mine, on this day, in this month, in this year, until the Day of
Resurrection. Whoever abandons it, whether during my lifetime or
after
I am gone, whether he has a just or an unjust ruler, whether he
takes
it lightly or denies (that it is obligatory), may Allah cause
him to
lose all sense of tranquility and contentment, and may He not
bless
him in his affairs. Indeed, his prayer will not be valid, his
Zakat
will not be valid, his Hajj will not be valid, his fasting will
not be
valid, and his righteous deeds will not be accepted, until he
repents.
Whoever repents, Allah will accept his repentance. No woman
should be
appointed as Imam over a man, no Bedouin should be
appointed as Imam
over a Muhajir, no immoral person should be
appointed as Imam over a
(true) believer, unless that is forced upon
him and he fears his sword
or whip.’”
It was
narrated that ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Ka’b bin Malik said:
“I used
to
guide my father after he lost his sight, and when I took him out
for
the Friday (prayer), when he heard the Adhan he would pray for
forgiveness for Abu Umamah As’ad bin Zurarah, and supplicate for
him.
I heard that from him for a while, then I said to myself: ‘By
Allah!
What is this weakness? Every time he heard the Adhan for
Friday
(prayer) I hear him praying for forgiveness for Abu Umamah and
supplicate for him, and I do not ask him about why he does that.’
Then
I took him out for Friday (prayer), as I used to take him out,
and
when he heard the Adhan he prayed for forgiveness as he used to
do. I
said to him: ‘O my father! I see you supplicating for As’ad
bin
Zurarah every time you hear the call for Friday; why is that?’
He
said: ‘O my son, he was the first one who led us for the Friday
prayer
before the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came from Makkah, in Naqi’
Al-
Khadamat (a place near Al-Madinah), in the plain of Harrah Banu
Bayadah.’ I asked: ‘How many of you were there at that time?’
He said:
‘Forty men.’”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘Allah led those who came before us astray from Friday.
Saturday
was for the Jews and Sunday was for the Christians. And they
will lag
behind us until the Day of Resurrection. We are the last of
the people
of this world but we will be the first to be judged among
all of
creation.’”
It was
narrated that Abu Lubabah bin ‘Abdul-Mundhir said:
“The
Prophet
(ﷺ) said: ‘Friday is the chief of days, the greatest day
before
Allah. It is greater before Allah then the Day of Adha and the
Day of
Fitr. It has five characteristics: On it Allah created Adam; on
it
Allah sent down Adam to this earth; on it there is a time during
which a person does not ask Allah for anything but He will give it to
him, so long as he does not ask for anything that is forbidden; on it
the Hour will begin. There is no angel who is close to Allah, no
heaven, no earth, no wind, no mountain, and no sea that does not fear
Friday.’”
“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
said: ‘The best of your days is Friday. On it Adam was created,
on
it the Trumpet will be blown, on it all creatures will swoon. So
send
a great deal of peace and blessings upon me on that day, for your
peace and blessings will be presented to me.’ A man said: ‘O
Messenger
of Allah, how will our peace and blessings be shown to you
when you
will have disintegrated?’ He said: ‘Allah has forbidden
the earth to
consume the bodies of the Prophets.’”
“I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say:
‘Whoever
takes a bath on Friday, and bathes completely, and goes
early,
arriving early,* and walks and does not ride (to the mosque),
and
sits close to the Imam and listens to him, and does not engage in
idle talk; for every step he takes he will have the reward of one
year, the reward of a year’s fasting and praying (at night).”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘Whoever performs ablution and performs ablution well, then
comes to Friday (prayer) and sits near (the Imam), and keeps quiet
and
listens, he will be forgiven for what was between that and the
previous Friday (of sins), and three days more. And whoever touches
the pebbles then he has engaged in Laghw (idle talk or behaviour).”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ أَتَى الْجُمُعَةَ فَدَنَا وَأَنْصَتَ وَاسْتَمَعَ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ الأُخْرَى وَزِيَادَةُ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ وَمَنْ مَسَّ الْحَصَى فَقَدْ لَغَا "
It was
narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Whoever
performs ablution on Friday, it is well and good for him, and
he has
done what is obligatory for him. But whoever takes a bath, bath
is
better.”
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الْمَكِّيُّ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرَّقَاشِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَبِهَا وَنِعْمَتْ يُجْزِئُ عَنْهُ الْفَرِيضَةُ وَمَنِ اغْتَسَلَ فَالْغُسْلُ أَفْضَلُ "
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“When Friday comes, angels stand at every door of the mosque and
record the names of the people who come, in order of arrival. When
the
Imam comes out, they close their records and listen to the
sermon. The
first one who comes to the prayer is like one who
sacrifices a camel;
the one who comes after him is like one who
sacrifices a cow; the one
who comes after him is like one who
sacrifices a ram,” (and so on)
until he made mention of a hen and
an egg. Sahl added in his Hadith:
“And whoever comes after that
comes only to do his duty with regard to
the prayer.”
It was
narrated from Samurah bin Jundab that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
described the likeness of Friday, saying that those who come
earliest
are like the one who sacrifices a camel, then like one who
sacrifices
a cow, then like one who sacrifices a sheep, until he made
mention of
a chicken.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ضَرَبَ مَثَلَ الْجُمُعَةِ ثُمَّ التَّبْكِيرِ كَنَاحِرِ الْبَدَنَةِ كَنَاحِرِ الْبَقَرَةِ كَنَاحِرِ الشَّاةِ حَتَّى ذَكَرَ الدَّجَاجَةَ .
“I went out with ‘Abdullah to
Friday (prayer), and he found three men who arrived before him. He
said: ‘The fourth of four, and the fourth of four is not far away.
I
heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “On the Day of
Resurrection
people will gather near Allah according to how early
they came to
Friday (prayer), the first, second, and third.’”
Then he said: ‘The
fourth of four, and the fourth of four is not
far away.’”
It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Salam that he heard the Messenger
of
Allah (ﷺ) saying on the pulpit one Friday:
“There is nothing
wrong with anyone of you buying two garments for Friday (prayer),
other than his daily work clothes.”
(Another chain) from Yusuf bin Abdullah bin Salam that his father said: "The Prophet delivered a sermon to us" and he mentioned that.
حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلاَمٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ " مَا عَلَى أَحَدِكُمْ لَوِ اشْتَرَى ثَوْبَيْنِ لِيَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ سِوَى ثَوْبِ مِهْنَتِهِ " .

It was
narrated from ‘Aishah that the Prophet (ﷺ) delivered a
sermon to
the people one Friday, and he saw them wearing woollen
clothes. The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“There is nothing wrong
with any one
of you, if he can afford it, buying two garments for
Friday, other
than his daily work clothes.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ زُهَيْرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَرَأَى عَلَيْهِمْ ثِيَابَ النِّمَارِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " مَا عَلَى أَحَدِكُمْ إِنْ وَجَدَ سَعَةً أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ ثَوْبَيْنِ لِجُمُعَتِهِ سِوَى ثَوْبَىْ مِهْنَتِهِ "
It was
narrated from Abu Dharr that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Whoever
takes
a bath on a Friday and does it well, and purifies himself and
does it
well, and puts on his best clothes, and puts on whatever Allah
decrees for him of the perfume of his family, then comes to the
mosque
and does not engage in idle talk or separate (pushing between)
two
people; he will be forgiven for (his sins) between that day and
the
previous Friday.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘This day is an ‘Eid (festival) which Allah has ordained
for the
Muslims. Whoever comes to Friday (prayer), let him take a
bath and if
he has perfume then let him put some on. And upon you (I
urge to use)
is the tooth stick.”
حَدَّثَنَا عَمَّارُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ غُرَابٍ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي الأَخْضَرِ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ السَّبَّاقِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِنَّ هَذَا يَوْمُ عِيدٍ جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ فَمَنْ جَاءَ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ وَإِنْ كَانَ طِيبٌ فَلْيَمَسَّ مِنْهُ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ "
Iyas bin
Salamah bin Akwa’ narrated that his father said:
“We used to
perform Friday (prayer) with the Prophet (ﷺ), then we would return,
and we would not see any shadow from the walls in which we could seek
shade.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ إِيَاسَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ الْجُمُعَةَ ثُمَّ نَرْجِعُ فَلاَ نَرَى لِلْحِيطَانِ فَيْئًا نَسْتَظِلُّ بِهِ .
‘Abdur-Rahman bin Sa’d bin ‘Ammar bin Sad, the Mu’adh-dhin of
the
Prophet (ﷺ), said:
“My father told me, narrating from his
father,
from his grandfather, that during the time of the Messenger
of Allah
(ﷺ), he used to call the Adhan on Fridays when the shadow
was like a
sandal strap.”
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَمَّارِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، مُؤَذِّنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُؤَذِّنُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ إِذَا كَانَ الْفَىْءُ مِثْلَ الشِّرَاكِ .
It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to deliver
two
sermons, and he would sit briefly between the two. (One of the
narrators) Bishr added:
“While he was standing.”
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَانَ يَخْطُبُ خُطْبَتَيْنِ يَجْلِسُ بَيْنَهُمَا جَلْسَةً . زَادَ بِشْرٌ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ .
“The Prophet (ﷺ) used
to
deliver the sermon standing, then he would sit down, then he would
stand up and recite some Verses and remember Allah. His sermon was
moderate, and his prayer was moderate (i.e., neither too long nor too short).”
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَقْرَأُ آيَاتٍ وَيَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ وَكَانَتْ خُطْبَتُهُ قَصْدًا وَصَلاَتُهُ قَصْدًا .
‘Abdur-Rahman bin Sa’d bin ‘Ammar bin Sa’d narrated that his
father
told him, from his father, from his grandfather, that when the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) delivered a speech on the battlefield he
would do so leaning on a bow, and when he delivered a sermon on
Friday, he would do so leaning on his staff.
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَمَّارِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَانَ إِذَا خَطَبَ فِي الْحَرْبِ خَطَبَ عَلَى قَوْسٍ وَإِذَا خَطَبَ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ خَطَبَ عَلَى عَصًا .
“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) recited Tabarak [Al-Mulk (67)] one Friday, while he was
standing
and reminding us of the Days of Allah (i.e., preaching to
us). Abu
Darda’ or Abu Dharr raised an eyebrow at me and said:
‘When was this
Surah revealed? For I have not heard it before now.’
He (Ubayy)
gestured to him that he should remain silent. When they
finished, he
said: ‘I asked you when this Surah was revealed and
you did not answer
me.” Ubayy said: ‘You have gained nothing from
your prayer today
except the idle talk that you engaged in.’ He
went to the Prophet
(ﷺ) and told him about that, and what Ubayy had
said to him. The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Ubayy spoke the
truth.’”

brief.’”

It was
narrated from Jabir bin ‘Abdullah that a man entered the
mosque one
Friday when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was delivering the
sermon.
He started stepping over the people’s shoulders, and the
Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) said:
‘Sit down, for you have annoyed
(people) and

It was
narrated that ‘Ubaidullah bin Abu Rafi’ said:
“Marwan
appointed
Abu Hurairah in charge of Al-Madinah, and set out for

Hurairah led us in prayer on Friday, and he recited Surat
Al-Jumu’ah
in the first Rak’ah, and in the second, ‘When the
hypocrites come

caught up
with Abu Hurairah when he finished and said to him: ‘You
recited
two Surah that ‘Ali used to recite in Kufah.’ Abu Hurairah
said:
‘I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) reciting them.’”

“Dahhak bin Qais

[Al-Ghashiyah (88)]
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، أَنْبَأَنَا ضَمْرَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كَتَبَ الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ إِلَى النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ أَخْبِرْنَا بِأَىِّ، شَىْءٍ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقْرَأُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ مَعَ سُورَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِيهَا {هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ} .
It was
narrated from Abu ‘Inabah Al-Khawlani that the Prophet (ﷺ)
used
to recite “Glorify the Name of your Lord the Most High” and “Has
there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e., the Day of
Resurrection)? [Al-A’la (87) and Al-Ghashiyah (88)] on Friday.
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزَّاهِرِيَّةِ، عَنْ أَبِي عِنَبَةَ الْخَوْلاَنِيِّ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ بِـ {سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى} وَ {هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ} .
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“What if one of you were to take a flock of sheep and look for
grass for them one or two miles away, but he cannot find any at that
distance, so he goes further away? Then (the time for) Friday comes
but he does not attend it, then (another) Friday comes but he does
not
attend it, and (another) Friday comes but he does not attend it,
until
Allah places a seal on his heart.”
It was
narrated from Salim, from his father, that the Prophet (ﷺ)
used to
pray two Rak’ah after Jumu’ah.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَانَ يُصَلِّي بَعْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ .
It was
narrated from ‘Amr bin Shu’aib, from his father, from his
grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade sitting in
circles in the mosque on Fridays before the prayer.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ نَهَى أَنْ يُحَلَّقَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ .
It was
narrated from ‘Amr bin Shu’aib, from his father, that his
grandfather said:
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade Ihtiba’ (sitting with one's thighs gathered up against the stomach while wrapping one's arm or garment around them) on
Fridays, meaning, when the Imam is delivering the sermon.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى الْحِمْصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَنْ الاِحْتِبَاءِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ - يَعْنِي - وَالإِمَامُ يَخْطُبُ .
“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
had only one Mu’adh-dhin. When he came out he would give the
Adhan
and when he came down (from the pulpit) he would give the
Iqamah. Abu
Bakr and ‘Umar did likewise, but when ‘Uthman (became
caliph) the
numbers of people had increased, he added the third call
from atop a
house in the marketplace that was called Zawra’. When he
came out
(the Mu’adh-dhin) would call the Adhan, and when he came down
from
the pulpit, he would call the Iqamah.
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘On Friday there is a time when no Muslim man happens to
stand
in prayer at that time, asking Allah for good things, but He
will give
that to him.” And he gestured with his hand to indicate
how short that
time is.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِنَّ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ سَاعَةً لاَ يُوَافِقُهَا رَجُلٌ مُسْلِمٌ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ فِيهَا خَيْرًا إِلاَّ أَعْطَاهُ " . وَقَلَّلَهَا بِيَدِهِ .
Kathir
bin ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin ‘Awf Al-Muzani narrated from his
father, that his grandfather said:
“I heard the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) say: ‘On Friday there is a time of the day during which no
person asks Allah for something but He will give him what he asks
for.’” It was said: ‘When is that time?’ He said: ‘When the
Iqamah for
prayer (is called), until the prayer ends.’”
“I said, when the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was sitting: ‘We find in the Book of Allah
that on Friday there is an hour when no believing slave performs
prayer and asks Allah for anything at that time, but Allah will
fulfill his need.’” ‘Abdullah said: “The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
pointed to me, saying: ‘Or some part of an hour.’ I said:
‘you are
right, or some part of an hour.’ I said: ‘What time is
that?’ He said:
‘It is the last hours of the day.’ I said: ‘It
is not the time of the
prayer?’ He said: ‘Yes (it is so), when a
believing slave performs
prayer and then sits with nothing but the
prayer keeping him, he is
still in a state of prayer.’”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
‘Whoever persists in performing twelve Rak’ah from the Sunnah, a
house will be built for him in Paradise: four before the Zuhr, two
Rak’ah after Zuhr, two Rak’ah after Maghrib, two Rak’ah after
the
‘Isha’ and two Rak’ah before Fajr.’”

Rak’ah, I think he
said, before ‘Asr, two Rak’ah after Maghrib,
and I think he said two
Rak’ah after the ‘Isha’.’”
It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that when the dawn illuminated, the
Prophet
(ﷺ) would pray two Rak’ah.

It was
narrated from Hafsah bint ‘Umar that when the call for the
Subh
prayer was given, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would pray two
short
Rak’ah before going to the prayer.

It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Sarjis that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) saw a man performing the two Rak’ah before the morning prayer
while he himself was performing prayer. When he had finished praying
he said to him:
“Which of your two prayers did you intend to be
counted (i.e., accepted)?”

“The
Prophet
(ﷺ) passed by a man who was praying when the Iqamah for Subh
prayer
had been called, and he said something to him, I do not know
what he
said. When he finished, we surrounded the man and asked him:
‘What
did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say to you?’ He said: ‘He said
to me: “Soon one of you will pray Fajr with four Rak’ah.’”

“The Prophet (ﷺ) saw a man
praying two Rak’ah after the Subh prayer and said, ‘Is the Subh
prayer
to be offered twice?’ The man said to him: ‘I did not pray
the two
Rak’ah before it, so I prayed them (now).’ The Messenger
of Allah
(ﷺ) remained silent.”

“My father sent word
to
‘Aishah, asking which prayer the Prophet (ﷺ) most liked to
perform regularly. She said: ‘He used to perform four Rak’ah
before
the Zuhr, in which he would stand for a long time and bow and
prostrate perfectly.’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ قَابُوسَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَرْسَلَ أَبِي إِلَى عَائِشَةَ أَىُّ صَلاَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يُوَاظِبَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ يُطِيلُ فِيهِنَّ الْقِيَامَ وَيُحْسِنُ فِيهِنَّ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ .
It was
narrated from Abu Ayyub that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to perform
four
Rak’ah before the Zuhr when the sun had passed its zenith, and he
did not separate them with a Taslim. He said, “The gates of heaven
are
opened when the sun passes its zenith.”
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ مُعَتِّبٍ الضَّبِّيِّ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ سَهْمِ بْنِ مِنْجَابٍ، عَنْ قَزَعَةَ، عَنْ قَرْثَعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَانَ يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ أَرْبَعًا إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ لاَ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُنَّ بِتَسْلِيمٍ وَقَالَ " إِنَّ أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاءِ تُفْتَحُ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ "
“Mu’awiyah sent word
to Umm Salamah, and I went with his envoy who put the question to Umm
Salamah. She said: ‘While the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was
performing
ablution for the Zuhr in my house and he had sent a Sa’i,*
the
Muhajirun gathered around him in large numbers, and he was busy
dealing with them. When a knock on the door came, he went out and
performed the Zuhr, then he sat and distributed what had been brought
to him.’ She said: ‘He continued doing that until the ‘Asr.
Then he
came into my house and performed two Rak’ah. Then he said:
“The matter
of the Sa’i kept me from praying them after Zuhr, so
I prayed them
after ‘Asr.”
It was
narrated that ‘Asim bin Damrah As-Saluli said:
“We asked ‘Ali
about the voluntary (prayer) of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) during the
day. He said: ‘You will not be able.’ We said: ‘Inform us of
it, we will do what we can of it?’ So he said: ‘When he prayed
the Fajr he would delay praying any more. When the sun appeared over
there (west) – like it appears here, meaning in the direction of
the east, about the amount for the ‘Asr prayer from there, meaning
in the direction of the west, meaning before the Maghrib – he would
stand and perform two Rak’ah* then he would delay praying until the
sun appeared over there (west), meaning in the direction of the east,
about the amount of the Zuhr prayer from there, then he would stand
and perform four. And, four before the Zuhr when the sun passed the
zenith, and two Rak’ah after it, and, four before the ‘Asr,
separating between every two Rak’ah with Taslim** upon the angels
that are close (to Allah), the Prophets, and those who follow them
among the Muslims and the believers.’”
'Ali said: "That is sixteen Rak'ah of voluntary prayer which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) performed during the day. And there are very few who offer them regularly."
Waki` said: “My father added: Habib bin Abu Thabit said: ‘O Abu Ishaq, this mosque filled with gold would not be dearer to me than this Hadith of yours.’”
It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Mughaffal said:
“The Prophet of
Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘Between every two Adhans there is a prayer.’ He
said
it three times, and on the third time he said, ‘For those who
wish.’”*

“I heard Anas bin Malik say: ‘The
Mu
’adh-dhin would call the Adhan during the time of the Messenger
of
Allah (ﷺ), and one would think that it was the Iqamah because
there
were so many people who stood and performed the two Rak’ah

Maghrib.”

“We came to the Messenger
of
Allah (ﷺ) with Banu ‘Abdul-Ashhal, and he led us in praying the
Maghrib in our mosque. Then he said: ‘Pray these two Rak’ah in

It was
narrated that Kharijah bin Hudhafah Al-‘Adawi said:
“The
Prophet
(ﷺ) came out to us and said: ‘Allah has increased a prayer
for
you which is better for you than red camels. (It is) Witr, which
Allah has enjoined on you between the ‘Isha’ prayer and the onset
of
dawn.’”
“Witr is not definite (obligatory) nor is it
like your prescribed prayers. But the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed
Witr, then he said: ‘O people of the Qur’an! Perform Witr, for

It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud that the Prophet (ﷺ)
said:
“Allah is Witr and He loves the odd (numbered), so perform Witr,
O
people of the Qur’an.” A Bedouin said: ‘What is the Messenger
of
Allah (ﷺ) saying?’ He said: ‘That is not for you or your
companions.’”

It was
narrated that ‘Abdul-‘Aziz bin Juraij said:
“We asked ‘Aishah
what the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite in Witr. She said:
‘He used to recite: “Glorify the Name of your Lord the Most
High,”
[Al-A’la (87)] in the first Rak’ah, ‘Say: “O
disbelievers!’” [Al-
Kafirun (109)] in the second Rak’ah, and
‘Say: Allah is One’ in the
third and the Mu’awwidhatain
(Chapter 113, 114).’”
“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘Night prayers are to be offered two by two, and Witr
is
one Rak’ah.’ I said: ‘What do you think if I become drowsy
and I want
to sleep?’ He said: ‘Put “what do you think” up
there with that star?
(i.e., don’t think about it at all).’ I
raised my head and saw As-
Simak.* He repeated that the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) said, ‘Night
prayers are to be offered two by two, and
Witr is one Rak’ah, before
dawn.’”

“How should I perform Witr?” He said: “Pray
Witr with one Rak’ah.” He said: “I am afraid that the people
will say
that I am cutting the prayer short.” He said: “The
Sunnah of Allah and
His Messenger.” Meaning “This is the Sunnah
of Allah and His
Messenger.”

“My grandfather, the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), taught me some words to say in Qunut of
Witr: Allahumma ‘afini fiman ‘afait, wa tawallani fiman
tawallait,
wahdini fiman hadait, wa qini sharra ma qadait, wa barik
li fima
a’tait. Innaka taqdi wa la yuqda ‘alaik, innahu la
yudhillu man

Allah, pardon me
along with those whom You have pardoned, be an ally
to me along with
those whom You are an ally to, guide me along with
those whom You have
guided, protect me from the evil that You have
decreed, and bless for
me that which You have bestowed. For verily
You decree and none can
decree over You. He whom You support can
never be humiliated. Glory is
to You, our Lord, You are Blessed and
Exalted).”
It was
narrated from ‘Ali bin Abi Talib that the Prophet (ﷺ) used
to say
at the end of Witr:
“Allahumma inni a’udhu biridaka min
sakhatika, wa a’udhu bimu’afatika min ‘uqubatika, wa a’udhu
bika
minka, la uhsi thana’an ‘alaika, Anta kama athnaita ‘ala
nafsika (O
Allah, I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your wrath, and
I seek
refuge in Your forgiveness from your punishment, and I seek
refuge in
You from You. I cannot enumerate Your praise, You are as
You have
praised Yourself).”
It was
narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Prophet (ﷺ) did not
raise his
hands in any of his supplications except when praying for
rain
(Istisqa’), when he raised his hands so high that the whiteness
of
his armpits could be seen.

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘When you call upon Allah, then do so with the palms of your
hands (upwards). Do not do so with the back of your hands (upwards).
And when you finish, then wipe your face with them.’”

“I asked ‘Aishah about the Witr of
the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). She said: ‘He prayed Witr at every part
of the night, at the beginning, in the middle and at the end, when he
died (he would perform it) just before dawn.’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ وَثَّابٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ وِتْرِ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَتْ مِنْ كُلِّ اللَّيْلِ قَدْ أَوْتَرَ مِنْ أَوَّلِهِ وَأَوْسَطِهِ وَانْتَهَى وِتْرُهُ حِينَ مَاتَ فِي السَّحَرِ .
It was
narrated from Jabir that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“Whoever
among you fears that he will not wake up at the end of the
night, let
him pray Witr at the beginning of the night, then go to
sleep.
Whoever hopes that he will wake up at the end of the night, let
him
pray Witr at the end of the night, for recitation (of the Qur’an)
at the end of the night is attended (by the angels), and that is
better.”
It was
narrated from Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
said:
“Witr is Haqq.* Whoever wishes let him pray Witr with five
(Rak’ah), and whoever wishes let him pray Witr with three (Rak’ah),
and whoever wishes let him pray Witr with one (Rak’ah).”
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفِرْيَابِيُّ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " الْوِتْرُ حَقٌّ فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُوتِرْ بِخَمْسٍ وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُوتِرْ بِثَلاَثٍ وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُوتِرْ بِوَاحِدَةٍ "
“I asked ‘Aishah: ‘O
Mother of the Believers! Tell me about the Witr of the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ).’ She said: ‘We used to keep his tooth stick and
water for
ablution ready for him. Allah would wake him as He willed
to during
the night, and he would use the tooth stick and perform
ablution, then
he would pray nine Rak’ah, during which he would not
sit until the
eighth Rak’ah. Then he would call upon his Lord and
remember Allah and
praise Him and supplicate to Him. Then he would
get up without saying
the Salam. Then he would stand up and pray the
ninth Rak’ah. Then he
would sit and remember Allah and praise Him,
and supplicate to his
Lord and send blessing upon His Prophet. Then
he would say Salam that
we could hear. Then he would pray two Rak’ah
after the Salam, while he
was sitting down. That was eleven Rak’ah.
When the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) grew older and had gained weight,
he would pray Witr with seven
Rak’ah and then pray two more Rak’ah
after he had said the Salam.’”
“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) used to pray two Rak’ah while traveling, and he did not do
more than that. And he used to pray Tahajjud at night.” I asked:
“Did
he pray Witr?” He said: “Yes.”

It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas and Ibn ‘Umar said:
“The Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) prescribed two Rak’ah of prayer when traveling; they
are
complete and are not shortened. And Witr when traveling is
Sunnah.”

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed Witr with one Rak’ah, then he
prayed two Rak’ah in which he recited while sitting, then when he
wanted to bow, he stood up and bowed.”

“I was with Ibn ‘Umar and
I lagged behind and prayed Witr. He said: ‘What kept you?’ I
said: ‘I
was praying Witr.’ He said: ‘Do you not have the best
of examples in
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?’ I said: ‘Of
course.’ He said: ‘The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray Witr
while riding his camel.’”

Witr
while riding his mount.

“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) said to Abu Bakr: ‘When do you pray Witr?’ He said: ‘At
the beginning of the night, after ‘Isha’.’ He said: ‘And you,
O
‘Umar?’ He said: ‘At the end of the night.’ The Prophet
(ﷺ) said:
‘As for you, O Abu Bakr, you have seized the
trustworthy handhold
(i.e., you want to be on the safe side), and as
for you, O ‘Umar, you
have seized strength (i.e., you are confident
that you have the
resolve to get up and pray Witr).’”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
prayed, and he added or omitted something.” (One of the narrators)
Ibrahim said: “The confusion stems from me (i.e., he was not sure
which it was).” “It was said to him: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Has
something been added to the prayer?’ He said: ‘I am only human, I
forget just as you forget. If anyone forgets, let him perform two
prostrations when he is sitting (at the end).’ Then the Prophet

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ابْنَا أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَهِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُحَيْنَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ صَلَّى صَلاَةً أَظُنُّ أَنَّهَا الظُّهْرُ (العَصْرُ) فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ قَامَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ .
It was
narrated from ‘Abdur-Rahman Al-A’raj that Ibn Buhainah told
him
that the Prophet (ﷺ) stood up in the second Rak’ah of Zuhr and
forgot to sit. When he had finished his prayer, and before he said
the
Salam, he performed the two prostrations for forgetfulness (Sahw)
and
said the Salam.
“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘If anyone of you stands after two Rak’ah, if he has
not yet stood up fully, let him sit down again, but if he has stood
up
fully, then let him not sit down, and let him perform two
prostrations
for forgetfulness (Sahw).’”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُبَيْلٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِذَا قَامَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ فَلَمْ يَسْتَتِمَّ قَائِمًا فَلْيَجْلِسْ فَإِذَا اسْتَتَمَّ قَائِمًا فَلاَ يَجْلِسْ وَيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَىِ السَّهْوِ "
“I heard the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘If anyone of you is uncertain as to
whether he has prayed one or two Rak’ah, let him assume it is one.
If
he is uncertain as to whether he has prayed two or three, let him
assume it is two. If he is uncertain as to whether he has prayed
three
or four, let him assume it is three. Then let him complete what
is
left of his prayer, so that the doubt will be about what is more.
Then
let him prostrate twice while he is sitting, before the Taslim
(saying
the Salam).’”
“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘If anyone of you is uncertain about his prayer, let
him put aside uncertainty and act upon that which is certain. When he
has made sure his prayer is complete, then let him prostrate twice.
Then if his prayer was complete, that (extra) Rak’ah will be
counted
as voluntary, and if his prayer was lacking, that Rak’ah
will complete
his prayer, and the two prostrations will rub the
Satan’s nose in the
dust.’”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
offered prayer, and I am not sure whether he did something extra or
omitted something. He asked, and we told him, so he turned to face the
Qiblah and prostrated twice, then he said the Salam. Then he turned
to face us and said: ‘If any new command has been revealed
concerning the prayer, I would certainly have told you. But I am only
human and I forget and you forget. If I forget, then remind me. And
if anyone of you is uncertain about the prayer, let him do what is
closest to what is correct, then complete the prayer, say the Salam
and prostrate twice.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
‘If anyone of you is uncertain about his prayer, let him try to
do
what is correct then let him prostrate twice.’”
Tanafisi said: "This is the basic rule, and no one is able to reject it."
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَلْيَتَحَرَّ الصَّوَابَ ثُمَّ يَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ " . قَالَ الطَّنَافِسِيُّ هَذَا الأَصْلُ وَلاَ يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ يَرُدُّهُ .
It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
forgot
and said the Taslim after two Rak’ah. A man who was called
Dhul-Yadain said to him:
‘O Messenger of Allah, has the prayer been
shortened or did you forget?’ He said: ‘It has not been shortened
and
I did not forget.’ He said: ‘But you prayed two Rak’ah.’ He
said: ‘Is what
Dhul-Yadain says true?’ They said: ‘Yes.’ So
he went forward and
performed two Rak’ah and said the Salam, then
he prostrated twice for
prostrations of forgetfulness.
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
led
us in one of the afternoon prayers, and he prayed two Rak’ah, then
he said the Salam. Then he stood up and went to a piece of wood in
the
mosque, and leaned against it. Those who were in a hurry left the
mosque, saying that the prayer had been shortened. Among the people
were Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, but they dared not say anything. Among the
people there was also a man with long hands who was called
Dhul-
Yadain. He said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, has the prayer been
shortened
or did you forget?’ He said: ‘It has not been shortened
and I did not
forget.’ He said: ‘But you prayed two Rak’ah.’ He
said: ‘Is what Dhul-
Yadain says true?’ They said: ‘Yes.’ So
he went forward and performed
two Rak’ah and said the Salam, then
he prostrated twice, and then he
said the Salam again.”
“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said the Salam after three Rak’ah for ‘Asr, then he stood
up and
went into the apartment. Khirbaq, a man with big hands, stood
up and
called out: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Has the prayer been
shortened?’ He
came out angrily, dragging his lower garment, and
asked about it, and
was told (what had happened). So he performed the
Rak’ah that he had
omitted, then he said the Salam, then he
prostrated twice and said the
Salam again.”
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“The
Satan
comes to any one of you while he is praying and comes between
him and
his soul, until he does not know whether he as added something
or
omitted something. If that happens, then he should prostrate twice
before the Salam, then he should say the Salam.”
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْتِي أَحَدَكُمْ فِي صَلاَتِهِ فَيَدْخُلُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ نَفْسِهِ حَتَّى لاَ يَدْرِي زَادَ أَوْ نَقَصَ فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمْ "
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“The
Satan
comes between the son of Adam and his soul, and he does not know
how
many Rak’ah he has prayed. If a person notices that, then let him
prostrate twice before he says the Salam.”
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَدْخُلُ بَيْنَ ابْنِ آدَمَ وَبَيْنَ نَفْسِهِ فَلاَ يَدْرِي كَمْ صَلَّى فَإِذَا وَجَدَ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ "
It was
narrated from ‘Alqamah that Ibn Mas’ud prostrated twice for
the
prostrations of forgetfulness after the Salam, and he mentioned
that
the Prophet (ﷺ) did that.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ خَلاَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَىِ السَّهْوِ بَعْدَ السَّلاَمِ وَذَكَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ .
“The Prophet (ﷺ) came out
to
pray and said the Takbir, then he gestured to them to wait. He went
and took a bath, and his head was dripping with water while he led
them in prayer. When he finished he said: ‘I came out to you in a
state of sexual impurity, and I forgot until I had started to pray.’”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
‘Whoever vomits, has a nosebleed, belches, or emits prostatic
fluid, should stop praying; perform ablution, then resume his prayer,
and while he is in that state he should not speak.”

“I suffered from Nasur*
and
I asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about prayer. He said: ‘Perform prayer
standing; if you cannot, then sitting; and if you cannot then while
lying on your side.’”
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ طَهْمَانَ، عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، قَالَ كَانَ بِي النَّاصُورُ فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ " صَلِّ قَائِمًا فَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ فَقَاعِدًا فَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ فَعَلَى جَنْبٍ "
‘By the One Who took his soul
(i.e., the soul of the Prophet (ﷺ)), he did not die until he
offered
most of his prayers sitting down. And the dearest of the
actions to
him was the righteous action that the person does
regularly, even if
it were a little.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ وَالَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِنَفْسِهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مَا مَاتَ حَتَّى كَانَ أَكْثَرُ صَلاَتِهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ وَكَانَ أَحَبُّ الأَعْمَالِ إِلَيْهِ الْعَمَلَ الصَّالِحَ الَّذِي يَدُومُ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسِيرًا .
“The Prophet (ﷺ) used to recite
Qur’an sitting down, then when he wanted to bow he would stand up
for
as long as it takes a person to recite forty Verses.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقْرَأُ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ قَامَ قَدْرَ مَا يَقْرَأُ إِنْسَانٌ أَرْبَعِينَ آيَةً .
“I did not see the Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) offer any of the night prayers in any way other than
standing,
until he became old. Then he started to pray sitting down
until, when
there were thirty or forty Verses left of his recitation,
he would
stand up and recite them, and prostrate.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَرْوَانَ الْعُثْمَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يُصَلِّي فِي شَىْءٍ مِنْ صَلاَةِ اللَّيْلِ إِلاَّ قَائِمًا حَتَّى دَخَلَ فِي السِّنِّ فَجَعَلَ يُصَلِّي جَالِسًا حَتَّى إِذَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ قِرَاءَتِهِ أَرْبَعُونَ آيَةً أَوْ ثَلاَثُونَ آيَةً قَامَ فَقَرَأَهَا وَسَجَدَ .
It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Shaqiq Al-‘Uqaili said:
“I asked
‘Aishah about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) at night.
She
said: ‘He used to pray for a long time at night standing up,
and for a
long time at night sitting down. If he prayed standing, he
would bow
standing, and if he prayed sitting, he would bow sitting.’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ الْعُقَيْلِيِّ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ صَلاَةِ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بِاللَّيْلِ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ يُصَلِّي لَيْلاً طَوِيلاً قَائِمًا وَلَيْلاً طَوِيلاً قَاعِدًا فَإِذَا قَرَأَ قَائِمًا رَكَعَ قَائِمًا وَإِذَا قَرَأَ قَاعِدًا رَكَعَ قَاعِدًا .
It was
narrated from ‘Imran bin Husain that he asked the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) about a man who prays sitting down. He said, “Whoever
performs prayer standing up, that is better. Whoever performs prayer
sitting down will have half the reward of one who prays standing. And
whoever performs prayer lying down will have half the reward of one
who prays sitting.”
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ الصَّوَّافُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي قَاعِدًا قَالَ " مَنْ صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ وَمَنْ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَلَهُ نِصْفُ أَجْرِ الْقَائِمِ وَمَنْ صَلَّى نَائِمًا فَلَهُ نِصْفُ أَجْرِ الْقَاعِدِ "
“When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
fell ill with the sickness that would be his last” – (One of the
narrators) Abu Mu’awiyah said: “When he was overcome by sickness”
–
“Bilal came to tell him that it was time for prayer. He said,
‘Tell
Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer.’ We said: ‘O
Messenger of
Allah! Abu Bakr is a tender-hearted man, and when he
takes your place
he will weep and not be able to do it. Why do you
not tell ‘Umar to
lead the people in prayer?’ He said: ‘Tell
Abu Bakr to lead the people
in prayer; you are (like) the female
companions of Yusuf.’” She said:
“So we sent word to Abu Bakr,
and he led the people in prayer. Then
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
began to feel a little better, so he came
out to the prayer, supported
by two men with his feet making lines
along the ground. When Abu Bakr
realized that he was there, he wanted
to step back, but the Prophet
(ﷺ) gestured to him to stay where he
was. Then (the two men)
brought him to sit beside Abu Bakr, and Abu
Bakr was following the
lead of the Prophet (ﷺ) and the people were
following Abu Bakr.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، وَوَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ لَمَّا مَرِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مَرَضَهُ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ - وَقَالَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ لَمَّا ثَقُلَ - جَاءَ بِلاَلٌ يُؤْذِنُهُ بِالصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ " مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ " . قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَجُلٌ أَسِيفٌ - تَعْنِي رَقِيقٌ - وَمَتَى مَا يَقُومُ مُقَامَكَ يَبْكِي فَلاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ فَلَوْ أَمَرْتَ عُمَرَ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ . فَقَالَ " مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرِ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ فَإِنَّكُنَّ صَوَاحِبَاتُ يُوسُفَ " . قَالَتْ فَأَرْسَلْنَا إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ فَوَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ خِفَّةً فَخَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ وَرِجْلاَهُ تَخُطَّانِ فِي الأَرْضِ فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّ بِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ذَهَبَ لِيَتَأَخَّرَ فَأَوْمَى إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنْ مَكَانَكَ . قَالَ فَجَاءَ حَتَّى أَجْلَسَاهُ إِلَى جَنْبِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَأْتَمُّ بِالنَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَالنَّاسُ يَأْتَمُّونَ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ .
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) told
Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer when he was sick, and Abu Bakr
used to lead them in prayer. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) began
to feel a little better, so he came out, and saw Abu Bakr leading the
people in prayer. When Abu Bakr saw him, he stepped back, but the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gestured to him to stay where he was. Then
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sat beside Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr was
following the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and the people
were following the prayer of Abu Bakr.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ فِي مَرَضِهِ فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ فَوَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ خِفَّةً فَخَرَجَ وَإِذَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَؤُمُّ النَّاسَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ اسْتَأْخَرَ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَىْ كَمَا أَنْتَ فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ حِذَاءَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِصَلاَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَالنَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلاَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ .
“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) fainted when he was sick, then he woke up and said: ‘Has the
time for prayer come?’ They said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Tell Bilal
to call
the Adhan, and tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer.’
Then he
fainted, then he woke up and said: ‘Has the time for prayer
come?’
They said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Tell Bilal to call the
Adhan, and tell Abu
Bakr to lead the people in prayer.’ Then he
fainted, then he woke up
and said: ‘Has the time for prayer come?’
They said: ‘Yes.’ He said:
‘Tell Bilal to call the Adhan, and
tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in
prayer.’ ‘Aishah said: ‘My
father is a tender-hearted man, and if he
stands in that place he
will weep and will not be able to do it. If
you told someone else to
do it (that would be better).’ Then he
fainted, then woke up and
said: ‘Tell Bilal to call the Adhan, and
tell Abu Bakr to lead the
people in prayer. You are (like) the female
companions of Yusuf.’
So Bilal was told to call the Adhan and he did
so, and Abu Bakr was
told to lead the people in prayer, and he did so.
Then the Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) felt a little better, and he said:
‘Find me someone
I can lean on.’ Barirah and another man came, and he
leaned on
them. When Abu Bakr saw him, he started to step back, but
(the
Prophet (ﷺ)) gestured him to stay where he was. Then the
Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) came and sat beside Abu Bakr, until Abu Bakr
finished
praying. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed away.”
“When the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
fell ill with what would be his final illness, he was in the
house of
‘Aishah. He said: ‘Call ‘Ali for me.’ ‘Aishah said: ‘O
Messenger of Allah, should we call Abu Bakr for you?’ He said:
‘Call
him.’ Hafsah said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, should we call
‘Umar for
you?’ He said: ‘Call him.’ Ummul-Fadl said: ‘O
Messenger of Allah,
should we call Al-‘Abbas for you?’ He said:
‘Yes.’ When they had
gathered, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
lifted his head, looked and
fell silent. ‘Umar said: ‘Get up and
leave the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ).’ Then Bilal came to tell him
that the time for prayer had come,
and he said: ‘Tell Abu Bakr to
lead the people in prayer.’ ‘Aishah
said: ‘O Messenger of
Allah, Abu Bakr is a soft and tender-hearted
man, and if he does not
see you, he will weep and the people will weep
with him. If you tell
‘Umar to lead the people in prayer (that would
be better).’ Abu
Bakr went out and led the people in prayer, then the
Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) felt a little better, so he came out,
supported by two
men, with his feet making lines along the ground.
When the people saw
him, they said: ‘Subhan-Allah,’ to alert Abu Bakr.
He wanted to
step back, but the Prophet (ﷺ) gestured him to stay
where he was.
Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came and sat on his
right. Abu Bakr
stood up and he was following the lead of the Prophet
(ﷺ), and the
people were following the lead of Abu Bakr. Ibn ‘Abbas
said; ‘And
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) started to recite from where

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الأَرْقَمِ بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا مَرِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مَرَضَهُ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ كَانَ فِي بَيْتِ عَائِشَةَ . فَقَالَ " ادْعُوا لِي عَلِيًّا " . قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَدْعُو لَكَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَالَ " ادْعُوهُ " . قَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَدْعُو لَكَ عُمَرَ قَالَ " ادْعُوهُ " . قَالَتْ أُمُّ الْفَضْلِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَدْعُو لَكَ الْعَبَّاسَ قَالَ " نَعَمْ " . فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا رَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ رَأْسَهُ فَنَظَرَ فَسَكَتَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ قُومُوا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ . ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِلاَلٌ يُؤْذِنُهُ بِالصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ " مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ " . فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَجُلٌ رَقِيقٌ حَصِرٌ وَمَتَى لاَ يَرَاكَ يَبْكِي وَالنَّاسُ يَبْكُونَ فَلَوْ أَمَرْتَ عُمَرَ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ . فَخَرَجَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ فَوَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ خِفَّةً فَخَرَجَ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ وَرِجْلاَهُ تَخُطَّانِ فِي الأَرْضِ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ النَّاسُ سَبَّحُوا بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ فَذَهَبَ لِيَسْتَأْخِرَ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَىْ مَكَانَكَ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَجَلَسَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَأْتَمُّ بِالنَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَالنَّاسُ يَأْتَمُّونَ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ . قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ مِنْ حَيْثُ كَانَ بَلَغَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ . قَالَ وَكِيعٌ وَكَذَا السُّنَّةُ . قَالَ فَمَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فِي مَرَضِهِ ذَلِكَ .
Hamzah
bin Mughirah bin Shu’bah narrated that his father said:
“The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) lagged behind (on a journey) and we reached
the people when ‘Abdur Rahman bin ‘Awf had already led them in
one
Rak’ah of the prayer. When he realized that the Prophet (ﷺ)
was
there, he wanted to step back, but the Prophet (ﷺ) gestured to
him
that he should complete the prayer. He said: ‘You have done
well, do
the same in the future.’”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ تَخَلَّفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى الْقَوْمِ وَقَدْ صَلَّى بِهِمْ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ رَكْعَةً فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّ بِالنَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ذَهَبَ يَتَأَخَّرُ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنْ يُتِمَّ الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ " وَقَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ كَذَلِكَ فَافْعَلْ "
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) fell
ill and some of his Companions came to visit him. The Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) performed prayer while sitting down, and they prayed
behind him standing up. He gestured them to sit down, and when he
finished he said: ‘The Imam is appointed to be followed. When he
bows,
then bow; when he stands up again, then stand up, and if he
prays
sitting down then pray sitting down.’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتِ اشْتَكَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يَعُودُونَهُ فَصَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ جَالِسًا فَصَلَّوْا بِصَلاَتِهِ قِيَامًا فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنِ اجْلِسُوا فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ " إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا وَإِذَا رَفَعَ فَارْفَعُوا وَإِذَا صَلَّى جَالِسًا فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا "
It was
narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Prophet (ﷺ) fell from
his
horse and he suffered some lacerations on his right side. We went
to
visit him and the time for prayer came. He led us in prayer sitting
down, and we prayed behind him sitting down. When he finished the
prayer he said:
“The Imam is appointed to be followed. When he says
Allahu Akbar, then say Allahu Akbar; when he bows, then bow; when he
says Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah, then say Rabbana wa lakal-hamd;
when
he prostrates then prostrate; and if he prays sitting down then
pray
sitting down.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘The Imam is appointed to be followed. When he says Allahu
Akbar, then say Allahu Akbar; when he bows, then bow; when he says
Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah, then say Rabbana wa lakal-hamd; when he
prostrates then prostrate; if he prays standing, then pray standing,
and if he prays sitting down then pray sitting down.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) fell
ill,
and we prayed behind him while he was sitting down, and Abu Bakr
was
saying the Takbir so that the people could hear them. He turned to
us
and saw us standing, so he gestured to us to sit down. When he had
said the Salam, he said: ‘You were about to do the action of the
Persians and Romans, who remain standing while their kings are
seated.
Do not do that. Follow the lead of your Imam; if he prays
standing,
then pray standing, and if he prays sitting down, then pray
sitting
down.’”
“I said to my father: ‘O my father! You prayed
behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and behind Abu Bakr, ‘Umar and
‘Uthman, and behind ‘Ali here in Kufah for about five years. Did
they
recite Qunut in Fajr?’ He said: ‘O my son! That is an
innovation.’”
It was
narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
used
to recite Qunut in the Subh prayer, and he used to supplicate in
it
against one of the Arab tribes for a month, then he stopped doing
so.
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَانَ يَقْنُتُ فِي صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ يَدْعُو عَلَى حَىٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ شَهْرًا ثُمَّ تَرَكَ .
“When the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
raised his head from Ruku’ in the Subh prayer, he said: ‘O
Allah,
save Al-Walid bin Walid, Salamah bin Hisham and ‘Ayyash bin Abu
Rabi’ah, and the oppressed in Makkah. O Allah, tighten Your grip on
Mudar, and send them years of famine like the famine of Yusuf.”
“The Prophet (ﷺ) was stung by a
scorpion while he was performing prayer, and he said: ‘May Allah
curse
the scorpion, for it does not spare anyone, whether he is
praying or
not. Kill them whether you are in Ihram or not.’” In
Al-Hill (outside
the sacred precincts of Makkah) or Al-Haram (the
sacred precincts or
Makkah).
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ الأَوْدِيُّ، وَالْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الدَّهَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ لَدَغَتِ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَقْرَبٌ وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ " لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْعَقْرَبَ مَا تَدَعُ الْمُصَلِّيَ وَغَيْرَ الْمُصَلِّي اقْتُلُوهَا فِي الْحِلِّ وَالْحَرَمِ "
“Good men among whom was ‘Umar
bin Khattab, and the best of them in my view is ‘Umar, testified
before me that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘There is no
prayer
after Fajr until the sun has risen, and there is no prayer
after the
‘Asr until the sun has set.’”
“I came to the Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) and said: ‘Is there any time that is more beloved to
Allah than another?’ He said: ‘Yes, the middle of the night, so
pray
as much as you want until dawn comes. Then refrain from praying
until
the sun has risen, and as long as it looks like a shield until
it
becomes apparent. Then pray as much as you want until a pole
stands on
its shadow (i.e., noon), then refrain from praying until it
has
crossed the zenith, for Hell is heated up at midday. Then pray as
much
as you want until you pray ‘Asr, then refrain from praying
until the
sun has set, for it sets between the two horns of Satan and
it rises
between the two horns of Satan.’”
“Safwan bin Mu’attal asked
the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): ‘O Messenger of Allah, I want to ask you
about something of which you have knowledge and I know nothing.’ He
said: ‘What is it?’ He said: ‘Is there any time of the night or
day
when it is disliked to perform prayer? He said: ‘Yes, when you
have
prayed the Subh, then do not pray until the sun has risen, for
it
rises between the two horns of Satan. Then pray, for the prayer is
attended (by the angels) and is acceptable (to Allah) until the sun
is
right overhead like a spear. For at that time Hell is heated up
and
its gates are opened. (Then refrain from prayer) until the sun
passes
the zenith. Then when it has passed the zenith, the prayer is
attended
(by the angels) and is acceptable (to Allah) until you pray
the ‘Asr.
Then stop praying until the sun has set.’”
It was
narrated from Abu ‘Abdullah As-Sunabihi that the Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) said:
“The sun rises between the two horns of Satan” or he
said “The two horns of Satan rise with it, and when it has risen,
Satan parts from it. When it is in the middle of the sky he
accompanies it, then when it has crossed the zenith he parts from it.
When it is about to set, he accompanies it, and when it has set he
parts from it. So do no pray at these three times.”
“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘O Banu ‘Abd Manaf! Do not prevent anyone from
circumambulating this House or praying at any time he wants of the
day
or night.”
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَابَيْهِ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ لاَ تَمْنَعُوا أَحَدًا طَافَ بِهَذَا الْبَيْتِ وَصَلَّى أَيَّةَ سَاعَةٍ شَاءَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ "
“The Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘You may come across people who offer a prayer at
the wrong time. If you meet them, then perform prayer in your houses
at the time that you know, then pray with them and make that
voluntary.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ زِرٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " لَعَلَّكُمْ سَتُدْرِكُونَ أَقْوَامًا يُصَلُّونَ الصَّلاَةَ لِغَيْرِ وَقْتِهَا فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتُمُوهُمْ فَصَلُّوا فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ لِلْوَقْتِ الَّذِي تَعْرِفُونَ ثُمَّ صَلُّوا مَعَهُمْ وَاجْعَلُوهَا سُبْحَةً "
It was
narrated from Abu Dharr that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Offer
prayer
on time, and if you reached the Imam leading them in prayers
(on
time), then perform it with them, and you will be safe with your
prayer, otherwise it will be voluntary for you.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " صَلِّ الصَّلاَةَ لِوَقْتِهَا فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَ الإِمَامَ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ فَصَلِّ مَعَهُمْ وَقَدْ أَحْرَزْتَ صَلاَتَكَ وَإِلاَّ فَهِيَ نَافِلَةٌ لَكَ "
It was
narrated from ‘Ubadah bin Samit that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“There
will be leaders who will be distracted by matters and they will
delay
the prayer until after its proper time. So make your prayer with
them
voluntary.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ هِلاَلِ بْنِ يِسَافٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُثَنَّى، عَنْ أَبِي أُبَىٍّ ابْنِ امْرَأَةِ، عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ يَعْنِي عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " سَيَكُونُ أُمَرَاءُ تَشْغَلُهُمْ أَشْيَاءُ يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلاَةَ عَنْ وَقْتِهَا فَاجْعَلُوا صَلاَتَكُمْ مَعَهُمْ تَطَوُّعًا "
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said
concerning the fear prayer: “The Imam should lead one group in
prayer, and they should perform one prostration, and there should be
another group between them and the enemy (guarding them). Then those
who did the prostration with their leader should move away, and take
the place of those who have not yet prayed. Then those who have not
yet prayed should come forward and perform one prostration with their
leader. Then their leader should move away, and his prayer will be
complete. Then each group should perform one prostration by itself.
If
the fear is too great, then (they should pray) on foot or
riding.’” He
said: What is meant by prostration here is a Rak’ah.
It was
narrated from Sahl bin Abu Hathmah that he said concerning the
fear
prayer:
“The Imam should stand facing the Qiblah, and a group of
them should stand with him, and another group should stand in the
direction of the enemy, facing towards the row (of worshippers). He
should lead them in one Rak’ah, then they should bow and do two
prostrations by themselves where they are. Then they should go and
take the place of the others, and the others should come and pray one
Rak’ah, bowing and prostrating with the leader. Then he will have
prayed two Rak’ah and they will have prayed one; then they should
perform another Rak’ah, bowing and performing two prostrations.”
It was
narrated from Jabir bin ‘Abdullah that the Prophet (ﷺ) led
his
Companions in the fear prayer. He led them all in bowing, then the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and the row nearest him prostrated, and the
others stood up, then when he stood up, they prostrated twice by
themselves. Then the front row moved back and took their place, and
they moved forward until they formed the front row. Then the Prophet
(ﷺ) led them all in bowing, then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and
the row nearest to him prostrated, and when they raised their heads,
the others prostrated twice. So all of them bowed with the Prophet
(ﷺ) and some of them prostrated by themselves, and the enemy was in
the direction of the Qiblah.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ صَلاَةَ الْخَوْفِ فَرَكَعَ بِهِمْ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ سَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَالصَّفُّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُ وَالآخَرُونَ قِيَامٌ حَتَّى إِذَا نَهَضَ سَجَدَ أُولَئِكَ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَأَخَّرَ الصَّفُّ الْمُقَدَّمُ حَتَّى قَامُوا مُقَامَ أُولَئِكَ وَتَخَلَّلَ أُولَئِكَ حَتَّى قَامُوا مُقَامَ الصَّفِّ الْمُقَدَّمِ فَرَكَعَ بِهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ سَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَالصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلُونَهُ فَلَمَّا رَفَعُوا رُءُوسَهُمْ سَجَدَ أُولَئِكَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ فَكُلُّهُمْ قَدْ رَكَعَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَسَجَدَتْ طَائِفَةٌ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَكَانَ الْعَدُوُّ مِمَّا يَلِي الْقِبْلَةَ .
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“The sun and the moon do not become eclipsed for the death of
anyone among mankind. If you see that, then stand and perform
prayer.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لاَ يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَقُومُوا فَصَلُّوا "
“The sun was eclipsed at
the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and he came out alarmed,
dragging his lower garment, until he reached the mosque. He continued
to perform prayer until the eclipse was over, then he said: ‘Some
people claim that the sun and moon only become eclipsed because of
the
death of a great leader. That is not so. The sun and the moon do
not
become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. When Allah
manifests
Himself to anything in His creation, it humbles itself
before Him.’”
“The sun was eclipsed during the
life
of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
went
out to the mosque and stood and said the Takbir, and the people
formed rows behind him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited for a
long time, then he said the Takbir and bowed for a long time. Then he
raised his head and said: ‘Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah, Rabban was
lakal-hamd.’ Then he stood and recited for a long time, but shorter
than the first recitation. Then he said the Takbir and bowed for a
long time, but less than the first bowing. Then he said: ‘Sami’
Allahu
liman hamidah, Rabbana wa lakal-hamd.’ Then he did the same
in the
next Rak’ah, and he completed four Rak’ah and four sets of
prostration, and the eclipse ended before he finished. Then he stood
and addressed the people. He praised Allah as He deserves to be
praised, then he said: ‘The sun and the moon are two of the signs
of
Allah. They do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of
anyone.
If you see that then seek help in prayer.’”

“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) performed the eclipse prayer. He stood for a long time,
then he
bowed for a long time, then he stood up for a long time, then
he
bowed for a long time, then he stood up, then he prostrated for a
long time, then he sat up, then he prostrated for a long time. He
stood for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he stood
up
for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he stood up,
then he
prostrated for a long time, then he sat up, then he
prostrated for a
long time. Then he finished and said: ‘Paradise
was brought close to
me, so that if I had dared, I could have brought
you some of its
fruits. And Hell was brought near to me, until I
said: “O Lord, am I
one of them?” Nafi’ said: “I think that
he said: ‘And I saw a woman
being scratched by a cat that belonged
to her. I said: “What is wrong
with this woman?” They said: “She
detained it until it died of hunger;
she did not feed it and she did
not let it loose to eat of the vermin
of the earth.”
It was
narrated from Hisham bin Ishaq bin ‘Abdullah bin Kinanah that
his
father said:
“One of the chiefs* sent me to Ibn ‘Abbas to ask him
about the prayer for rain. Ibn ‘Abbas said: ‘What kept him from
asking
me?’ He said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out
humbly, walking
with a humble and moderate gait, imploring, and he
performed two
Rak’ah as he used to pray for ‘Eid, but he did not
give a sermon like
this sermon of yours.’”
“I heard ‘Abbad bin
Tamim narrating to my father that his paternal uncle had seen the
Prophet (ﷺ) going out to the prayer place to pray for rain. He
faced the Qiblah and turned his cloak around, and prayed two Rak’ah.”
(One of the narrators) Muhammad bin Sabbah said: “Sufyan told us something similar, narrating from Yahya bin Sa`eed, from Abu Bakr bin Muhammad bin `Amr bin Hazm. from `Abbad bin Tamim, from his paternal uncle, from the Prophet (ﷺ).”
Sufyan narrated that Al-Mas`udi said: “I asked Abu Bakr bin Muhammad bin `Amr: 'Did he turn it upside down or right to left?' He said: 'No, it was right to left.'”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبَّادَ بْنَ تَمِيمٍ، يُحَدِّثُ أَبِي عَنْ عَمِّهِ، أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى لِيَسْتَسْقِيَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَقَلَبَ رِدَاءَهُ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ .
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
went
out one day to pray for rain. He led us in praying two Rak’ah
without any Adhan or Iqamah, then he addressed us and supplicated to
Allah. He turned to face the Qiblah, raising his hands, then he
turned
his cloak around, putting its right on the left and its left
on the
right.”
It was
narrated from Shurahbil bin Simt that he said to Ka’b:
“O Ka’b
bin Murrah, narrate to us a Hadith from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ),
but be careful.” He said: “A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and
said:
‘O Messenger of Allah, ask Allah for rain!’ So the
Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) raised his hands and said: ‘O Allah! Send
wholesome, productive
rain upon all of us, sooner rather than later,
beneficial and not
harmful.’ No sooner had they finished performing
Friday (prayer) but
they were revived. Then they came to him and
complained to him about
the rain, saying: ‘O Allah, around us and
not upon us.’ Then the
clouds began to disperse right and left.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ السِّمْطِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِكَعْبٍ يَا كَعْبُ بْنَ مُرَّةَ حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَاحْذَرْ . قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اسْتَسْقِ اللَّهَ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ اسْقِنَا غَيْثًا مَرِيئًا مَرِيعًا طَبَقًا عَاجِلاً غَيْرَ رَائِثٍ نَافِعًا غَيْرَ ضَارٍّ " . قَالَ فَمَا جَمَّعُوا حَتَّى أُجِيبُوا . قَالَ فَأَتَوْهُ فَشَكَوْا إِلَيْهِ الْمَطَرَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَهَدَّمَتِ الْبُيُوتُ . فَقَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلاَ عَلَيْنَا " . قَالَ فَجَعَلَ السَّحَابُ يَنْقَطِعُ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالاً .
“A Bedouin came to the Prophet
(ﷺ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I have come to you from
people
who have no place to graze their flocks and even their male
camels
have become weak. He mounted the pulpit and praised Allah,
then he
said: ‘O Allah, send upon us all abundant, wholesome rain,
productive
and plentiful, sooner rather than later.’ Then the rain
came down, and
no one came to him from any direction but they said:
‘We have been
revived.’”
“Sometimes I remember the words of
the poet when I was looking at the face of the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) on the pulpit. He did not come down until all the waterspouts
in Al-Madinah were filled with rain. And I remember what the poet
said: ‘He has a white complexion and rain is sought by virtue of his countenance,
He cares for the orphans, and protects the widows,
These are the words of Abu Talib.”

“I heard Ibn ‘Abbas say: ‘I bear
witness that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed before the sermon,
then he delivered the sermon. And he thought that the women had not
heard, so he went over to them and reminded them (of Allah) and
preached to them and enjoined them to give in charity, and Bilal was
spreading his hands like this, and the women started giving their
earrings, rings and things.’”

“Marwan brought the pulpit out
one
‘Eid day and started to deliver the sermon before the prayer. A
man
stood up and said: ‘O Commander of the Believers, you have gone
against the Sunnah. You have brought the pulpit out on the day of
‘Eid
and it was not brought out before, and you started with the
sermon
before the prayer, when this was not done before.’ Abu
Sa’eed said:
‘As for this man, he has done his duty. I heard the
Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) say: “Whoever among you sees an evil
action, and he is able to
change it with his hand, then change it
with his hand (by taking
action); if he cannot, (do so) with his
tongue then with his tongue
(by speaking out); and if he cannot then
with his heart (by hating it
and feeling that it is wrong), and that
is the weakest of faith.”
‘Abdur-Rahman bin Sa’d bin ‘Ammar bin Sa’d, the Mu’adhdhin
of the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), narrated from his father, from his
father,
from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used
to say
the Takbir in the ‘Eid prayer, seven times in the first
(Rak’ah)
before reciting Qur’an, and five times in the second
before reciting
Qur’an.

he would say the Salam and stand on his two feet facing the
people
while they were sitting down. He would say: ‘Give in
charity. Give in
charity.’ Those who gave most in charity were the
women, (they would
give) earrings and rings and things. If he wanted

expedition he would mention it, otherwise he would
leave.”

(ﷺ)
went out on the two ‘Eid, he would pass by the house of
Sa’eed bin
Abul-‘As, then by the people of the tent, then he
would leave by a
different route, via Banu Zuraiq, then he would go
out by the house of
‘Ammar bin Yasir and the house of Abu Hurairah
to Balat.”
It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that he used to go out to the ‘Eid
prayers via one route, and return via another, and he said that the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to do that.

“Iyad Al-Ash’ari was in Anbar at the
time of ‘Eid, and he said: ‘Why is it that I do not see you
engaged in
Taqlis as was done in the presence of the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ)?’”
حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ شَهِدَ عِيَاضٌ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عِيدًا بِالأَنْبَارِ فَقَالَ مَالِي لاَ أَرَاكُمْ تُقَلِّسُونَ كَمَا كَانَ يُقَلَّسُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ .
It was
narrated from ‘Amir that Qais bin Sa’d said:
“There is nothing
that happened during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) except
that I have seen it, except for one thing, which is that Taqlis was
performed for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the Day of Fitr.
(Three other chains of narration) with similar wording.

It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used
to
set out for the praying place in the morning of the day of ‘Eid,
and a small spear would be carried before him. When he reached the
praying place, it would be set up in front of him, then he would pray
facing it, and that was because the praying place was an open space
in
which there was nothing that could serve as a Sutrah.
“When the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed
on
the day of ‘Eid or on another occasion, a small spear was set up in
front of him, and he prayed facing it, and the people were behind
him.”
Nafi` said: It is from here that the leaders have taken this practice.
حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ إِذَا صَلَّى يَوْمَ عِيدٍ أَوْ غَيْرَهُ نُصِبَتِ الْحَرْبَةُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَيُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا وَالنَّاسُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ . قَالَ نَافِعٌ فَمِنْ ثَمَّ اتَّخَذَهَا الأُمَرَاءُ .
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
commanded us to bring them (the women) out on the day of Fitr and the
day of Nahr.” Umm ‘Atiyyah said: “We said: ‘What if one of
them does
not have an outer covering?’ He said: ‘Let her sister

“I heard a
man
asking Zaid bin Arqam: ‘Were you present with the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) when there were two ‘Eid on one day?’ He said: ‘Yes.’
He
said: ‘What did he do?’ He said: ‘He prayed the ‘Eid
prayer, then he
granted a concession not to pray the Friday, then he
said: “Whoever
wants to pray (Friday), let him do so.”’”
It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“Two ‘Eid have come together on this day of yours. So whoever
wants, that (the ‘Eid prayer) will suffice him, and he will not
have
to pray Friday, but we will pray Friday if Allah wills.”

It was
narrated that Muttalib that is, Ibn Abu Wada’ah said:
“The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The night prayers are (to be
offered)
two by two. Say the Tashah-hud after each two Rak`ah, and
raise your
hands in all humility like one who is poor and needy and
say:
‘Allāhummaghfir lī (O Allah, forgive me).’ And whoever does
not do
that, it is imperfect.’”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘Whoever fasts Ramadan and spends its nights in prayer, out
of
faith and in hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.’”

“We fasted Ramadan with the
Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) and he did not lead us in praying Qiyam
(prayers at
night) during any part of it, until there were seven
nights left. He
led us in praying Qiyam on the seventh night until
approximately one
third of the night had passed. Then on the sixth
night which followed
it he did not lead us in prayer. Then he led us
in praying Qiyam on
the fifth night which followed it until almost
half the night had
passed. I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, would that
we had offered
voluntary prayers throughout the whole night.’ He said:
‘Whoever
stands with the Imam until he finishes, it is equivalent to
spending
the whole night in prayer.’ Then on the fourth night which
followed
it, he did not lead us in prayer, until the third night that
followed
it, when he gathered his wives and family, and the people
gathered,
and he led us in prayer until we feared that we would miss
the
Falah.” It was asked: “What is the Falah?” He said: “Suhur.”
He
said: “Then he did not lead us in prayer at night for the rest
of the
month.”
“I met Abu Salamah bin
‘Abdur-Rahman and said: ‘Tell me a Hadith that you heard from
your
father, in which mention is made of the month of Ramadan.’ He
said:
‘Yes, my father narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
mentioned the month of Ramadan and said: “A month which Allah
has
enjoined upon you to fast, and in which I have established Qiyam
(prayers at night) as Sunnah for you. So whoever fasts it and spends
its nights in prayer out of faith and in hope of reward; he will
emerge from his sins as on the day his mother bore him.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘At night Satan ties a rope in which there are three knots to
the nape of the neck of anyone of you. If he wakes up and remembers
Allah, one knot is untied. If he performs ablution, another knot is
untied, and if he gets up to pray, all the knots are untied, so he
wakes up energetic and cheerful, he has already earned something
good.
But if he does not do that, he wakes up bad-tempered, having
earned
nothing good.”
“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘The mother of Sulaiman bin Dawud said to Sulaiman:
“O
my son, do not sleep too much at night, for sleeping too much at
night will leave a man poor on the Day of Resurrection.”
“When the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) came to Al-Madinah, the people rushed towards him and it
was said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has come!’ I came along
with the people to see him, and when I looked at the face of the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), I realized that his face was not the face
of a liar. The first thing he said was: “O people, spread (the
greeting of) Salam, offer food to people and pray at night when
people are sleeping, you will enter Paradise in peace.”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘May Allah have mercy on a man who gets up at night and
prays,
and wakes his wife, and she prays; and if she refuses he
sprinkles
water in her face. And May Allah have mercy on a woman who
gets up at
night and prays, and wakes her husband and he prays; and
if he
refuses, she sprinkles water in his face.’”
It was
narrated that ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Sa’ib said:
“Sa’d bin Abu
Waqqas came to us when he had become blind. I greeted him with Salam
and he said: ‘Who are you?’ So I told him, and he said: ‘Welcome,
O
son of my brother. I have heard that you recite Qur’an in a
beautiful
voice. I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “This
Qur’an was
revealed with sorrow, so when you recite it, then weep.
If you cannot
weep then pretend to weep, and make your voice
melodious in reciting
it. Whoever does not make his voice melodious,
he is not one of us.”
It was
narrated that ‘Aishah the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“One
night at the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) I was late
returning
from the ‘Isha’, then I came and he said: ‘Where were
you?’ I said: ‘I
was listening to the recitation of a man among
your Companions, for I
have never heard a recitation or a voice like
his from anyone.’ He got
up and I got up with him, to go and listen
to him. Then he turned to
me and said: ‘This is Salim, the freed
slave of Abu Hudhaifah. Praise
is to Allah Who has created such men
among my Ummah.’”

It was
narrated that ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Abdin Al-Qari said:
“I heard
‘Umar bin Khattab say: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
‘Whoever
sleeps and misses his daily portion of Qur’an, or any
part of it, let
him read it between the Fajr prayer and the Zuhr
prayer, and it will
be recorded as if he had read it during the
night.”
It was
narrated that Abu Darda’ conveyed that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Whoever goes to bed intending to wake up and pray during the
night,
but is overwhelmed by sleep until morning comes, what he
intended will
be recorded for him, and his sleep is a charity given
to him by his
Lord.”
It was
narrated from ‘Uthman bin ‘Abdullah bin Aws that his
grandfather
Aws bin Hudhaifah said:
“We came to the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) in
the delegation of Thaqif. The allies of Quraish stayed at the
house
of Mughirah bin Shu’bah, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) camped
Bani Malik in a tent belonging to him. He used to come to us every
night after the ‘Isha’ and speak to us standing on his two feet,
until
he started to shift his weight from one foot to the other. Most
of
what he told us was what he had suffered from his people, the
Quraish.
He said: ‘(The two sides) were not equal. We were weak and
oppressed
and humiliated, and when we went out to Al-Madinah, the
outcome of the
battles between us varied; sometimes we would defeat
them and
sometimes they would defeat us.’ One night he was later
than he
usually was, and I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, you have
come to us
late tonight.’ He said: ‘It occurred to me that I had
not read my
daily portion of Qur’an and I did not want to come out
until I had
completed it.’” Aws said: “I asked the Companions
of the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ): ‘How did you used to divide up the
Qur’an?’ They said: ‘A
third, a fifth, a seventh, a ninth, an
eleventh, a thirteenth, and
Hizbul-Mufassal.’”

“I memorized the Qur’an
and recited it all in one night. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
‘I
am afraid that you may live a long life and that you may get
bored.
Recite it over the period of a month.’ I said: ‘Let me
benefit from my
strength in my youth.’ He said: ‘Recite it in ten
days.’ I said: ‘Let
me benefit from my strength and my youth.’
He said: ‘Recite it in
seven days.’ I said: ‘Let me benefit
from my strength and my youth,’
but he refused (to alter it any
further).”
“I heard Abu Dharr
say:
‘The Prophet (ﷺ) stood reciting a Verse and repeating it until
morning came. That Verse was: “If you punish them, they are Your
slaves, and if You forgive them, verily You, only You, are the
All-
Mighty, the All-Wise.’”” [5:118]
It was
narrated from Hudhaifah that the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed, and
when he
recited a Verse which mentioned mercy, he would ask for mercy;
when
he recited a Verse that mentioned punishment he would pray for
deliverance from it; and when he recited a Verse that mentioned the
Tanzih of Allah, he would glorify Him.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ تَطَوُّعًا فَمَرَّ بِآيَةِ عَذَابٍ فَقَالَ " أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ النَّارِ وَوَيْلٌ لأَهْلِ النَّارِ "
“I came to ‘Aishah and
asked: ‘Did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recite Qur’an loudly or
softly?’ She said: ‘Sometimes he would recite loud and sometimes
softly.’ I said, ‘Allahu Akbar! Praise is to Allah Who has made
this
matter one of broad scope.’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ بُرْدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ نُسَىٍّ، عَنْ غُضَيْفِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَجْهَرُ بِالْقُرْآنِ أَوْ يُخَافِتُ بِهِ قَالَتْ رُبَّمَا جَهَرَ وَرُبَّمَا خَافَتَ . قُلْتُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي هَذَا الأَمْرِ سَعَةً .
“When the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
prayed Tahajjud at night, he would say: “Allahumma lakal-hamd,
Anta

To You is praise, You are
the Sovereign of the heavens and the earth,

You is praise, You are the Truth; Your
promise is true, the meeting
with You is true, Your saying is true,
Paradise is true, the Fire is
true, the Hour is true, the Prophets
are true, and Muhammad (ﷺ) is true. O
Allah, to You have I submitted, in
You I believe, in You have I put my
trust, to You I turn in

have done openly. You are the One Who brings
forward and puts back.
None has the right to be worshipped but You,
and there is none who
has the right to be worshipped other than You.
And there is no power
and no strength except with You.”
Another chain that Ibn `Abbas narrated: “When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood during the night for Tahajjud,” and he mentioned something similar.
“I asked ‘Aishah: ‘With
what did the Prophet (ﷺ) start voluntary prayers?’ She said: ‘You
have asked me about something which no one has asked before. He used
to say Allahu Akbar ten times, and Al-Hamdu Lillah ten times and
Subhan Allah ten times, and he would say Allahumma aghfirli wahdini,
warzuqni, wa ‘afini (O Allah, forgive me, guide me, grant me
provision
and give me good health),” and he would seek refuge from
the
difficulty of the standing on the Day of Resurrection.”
It was
narrated that Abu Salamah bin `Abdur-Rahman said:
“I asked
`Aishah: ‘With what did the Prophet (ﷺ) start his voluntary
prayers?’ She said: ‘He would say: “Allahumma Rabba Jibra’il
wa
Mika’il wa Israfil, Fatiras-samawati wal-ard, `alimal-ghaybi

Mika’il and Israfil,
Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower
of the unseen and the
seen, You judge between Your slaves concerning
that wherein they
differ. Guide me to the disputed matters of truth
by Your Leave, for
You are the One Who guides to the straight Path).”
(One of the narrators) `Abdur-Rahman bin `Umar said: “Bear in mind the word Jibra’il with a Hamzah - this is how it was narrated from the Prophet (ﷺ).”
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ الْيَمَامِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ بِمَا كَانَ يَسْتَفْتِحُ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ صَلاَتَهُ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ قَالَتْ كَانَ يَقُولُ " اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ جِبْرَئِيلَ وَمِيكَائِيلَ وَإِسْرَافِيلَ فَاطِرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ أَنْتَ تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ اهْدِنِي لِمَا اخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِكَ إِنَّكَ لَتَهْدِي إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ " . قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُمَرَ احْفَظُوهُ جِبْرَئِيلُ مَهْمُوزَةً فَإِنَّهُ كَذَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ .
It was
narrated that ‘Aishah said, and this is the Hadith of Abu
Bakr.
“During the period after he finished the ‘Isha’ prayer until
the
Fajr, the Prophet (ﷺ) used to pray eleven Rak’ah, saying the
Salam
after each two Rak’ah and praying Witr with one Rak’ah. He
would
prostrate for as long as it takes anyone of you to recite fifty
Verses
before he would raise his head. When the Mu’adh-dhin fell
silent after
the first Adhan for the Subh prayer, he would get up and
pray two
brief Rak’ah.”
It was
narrated from ‘Aishah that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to pray nine
Rak’ah at night.
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَانَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ تِسْعَ رَكَعَاتٍ
“I asked ‘Abdullah bin
‘Abbas and ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar about the Prophet’s prayer at
night.
They said: ‘(He prayed) thirteen Rak’ah, including eight,
and three for
Witr, and two Rak’ah after the Fajr.’”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ الْمَدِينِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ وَعَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ عَنْ صَلاَةِ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بِاللَّيْلِ فَقَالاَ ثَلاَثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً مِنْهَا ثَمَانٍ وَيُوتِرُ بِثَلاَثٍ وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْفَجْرِ .
It was
narrated that Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani said:
“I said, I must
observe how the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prays tonight. So I lay down
at his door. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) got up and prayed two brief
Rak’ah, then two long ones, which were very, very long, then two
Rak’ah which were shorter than the ones preceding them, then two
Rak’ah which were shorter than the ones preceding them, then two
Rak’ah which were shorter than the ones preceding them, then two
Rak’ah, then Witr. That was thirteen Rak’ah.”
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلاَمِ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نَافِعِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَرْمُقَنَّ صَلاَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ اللَّيْلَةَ . قَالَ فَتَوَسَّدْتُ عَتَبَتَهُ أَوْ فُسْطَاطَهُ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ طَوِيلَتَيْنِ طَوِيلَتَيْنِ طَوِيلَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُمَا دُونَ اللَّتَيْنِ قَبْلَهُمَا ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُمَا دُونَ اللَّتَيْنِ قَبْلَهُمَا ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُمَا دُونَ اللَّتَيْنِ قَبْلَهُمَا ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَوْتَرَ فَتِلْكَ ثَلاَثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً .
It was
narrated from Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn ‘Abbas, that Ibn
‘Abbas told him that he slept at the house of Maimunah, the wife of
the Prophet (ﷺ), who was his maternal aunt. He said:
“I lay down
across the pillow and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and his wife were
laying along it. The Prophet (ﷺ) slept until midnight, or a little
before, or a little after. The Prophet (ﷺ) woke up and began to rub
the sleep from his face with his hand. Then he recited the last ten
Verses of Surah Al ‘Imran. Then he got up and went to a water skin
that was hanging up and performed ablution from it, and he performed
ablution well, then he stood up and prayed.” ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas
said: “I stood up and did what he had done, then I went and stood
beside him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) put his right hand on my
head, took hold of my right ear and tweaked it. Then he prayed two
Rak’ah, then two Rak’ah, then two Rak’ah, then two Rak’ah,
then two
Rak’ah, then two Rak’ah, then he prayed Witr. Then he
lay down until
the Mu’adh-dhin came to him and he prayed two brief
Rak’ah, then he
went out to pray.”

“I came to the Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, who became a Muslim
with you?’ He said: ‘A free man and a slave.’ I said: ‘Is
there any
hour of the night that is closer to Allah than another?’
He said:
‘Yes, the last half of the night.’”
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“Our Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, descends when one third of
the
night remains, every night and He says: ‘Who will ask of Me, that
I
may give him? Who will call upon Me, that I may answer him? Who will
ask My forgiveness, that I may forgive him?’ until dawn comes.”
Hence
they used to prefer voluntary prayers at the end of the night
rather
than at the beginning.
“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘Allah provides respite until, when half or two thirds
of
the night had passed, He says: “My slave does not ask of anyone
other
than Me. Whoever calls upon Me, I will answer him; whoever asks
of Me,
I will give him; whoever asks My forgiveness, I will forgive
him,”
until dawn comes.’”
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“Whoever recites the last two Verses of Surat Al-Baqarah at
night,
that will be sufficient for him.”
In his narration (one of the narrators) Hafs said: “`Abdur-Rahman said: ‘I met Abu Mas`ud when he was performing Tawaf, and he narrated this to me.’”
“The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘If
anyone
of you becomes drowsy, let him sleep until he feels refreshed,
for he
does not know, if he prays when he feels drowsy, he may want to
say
words seeking forgiveness but (instead) he ends up cursing
himself.’”
It was
narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
entered the mosque and saw a rope tied between two pillars. He said,
“What is this rope?” They said:
“It belongs to Zainab. She
prays here
and when she gets tired she holds on to it.” He said:
“Untie it, untie
it; let any one of you pray when he has energy, if
he gets tired let
him sit down.”
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“When
anyone of you gets up to pray at night, and his tongue stumbles over
the words of the Qur’an, and he does not know what he is saying,
let
him lie down.”

“A group from the people of
‘Iraq came to ‘Umar and when they came to him, he said to them:
‘Where
are you from?’ They said: ‘From the inhabitants of
‘Iraq.’ He said:
‘Have you come with permission?’ They said:
‘Yes.’ Then they asked him
about a man’s prayer in his house.
‘Umar said: ‘I asked the Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) and he said:
“As for a man’s prayer in his house, it is
light, so illuminate
your houses.’””

It was
narrated from Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri that the Prophet (ﷺ)
said:
“When anyone of you has finished his prayer, let him give his
house
a share of that, for Allah will put something good in his house
because of that prayer.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " إِذَا قَضَى أَحَدُكُمْ صَلاَتَهُ فَلْيَجْعَلْ لِبَيْتِهِ مِنْهَا نَصِيبًا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ جَاعِلٌ فِي بَيْتِهِ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ خَيْرًا "
“I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ):
‘Which is better prayer in my house or prayer in the mosque?’ He
said:
‘Do you not see how close my house is to the mosque?’ But
praying in
my house is dearer to me than praying in the mosque, apart
from the
prescribed prayers.’”
“During the caliphate
of
‘Uthman, when the people were present in large numbers, I asked
about Duha prayer, and I could not find anyone who could tell me that
he, meaning the Prophet (ﷺ), had prayed it, apart from Umm Hani’.
She told me that he had prayed it with eight Rak’ah.”
“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) used to teach us Istikharah, just as he used to teach us a
Surah of the Qur’an. He said: ‘If anyone of you is deliberating
about
a decision he has to make, then let him pray two Rak’ah of
non-
obligatory prayer, then say: Allahumma inni astakhiruka bi

religion, my

bad
for me then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and
ordain

it).’”
It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Abi Awfa Al-Aslami said:
“The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out to us and said: ‘Whoever has some
need from Allah or from any of His creation, let him perform ablution
and pray two Rak’ah, then let him say: La ilaha

Al-hamdu Lillahi

has the right to be
worshipped but Allah, the Forbearing, the Most
Generous. Glory is to
Allah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne. Praise is
to Allah, the Lord of
the worlds. O Allah, I ask You for the means of
Your mercy and
forgiveness, the benefit of every good deed and safety
from all sins.
I ask You not to leave any sin of mine but You forgive
it, or any
distress but You relieve it, or any need that is pleasing
to You but
You meet it). Then he should ask Allah for whatever he
wants in this
world and in the Hereafter, for it is decreed.”
It was
narrated from ‘Uthman bin Hunaif that a blind man came to the
Prophet (ﷺ) and said:
“Pray to Allah to heal me.” He said: “If
you
wish to store your reward for the Hereafter, that is better, or
if you
wish, I will supplicate for you.” He said: “Supplicate.”
So he told
him to perform ablution and do it well, and to pray two
Rak’ah, and to
say this supplication: “Allahumma inni as’aluka
wa atawajjahu ilaika
bimuhammadin nabiyyir-rahmah. Ya Muhammadu inni
qad tawajjahtu bika
ila rabbi fi hajati hadhihi lituqda. Allahumma
fashaffi’hu fiya (O
Allah, I ask of You and I turn my face towards
You by virtue of the
intercession of Muhammad the Prophet of mercy. O
Muhammad, I have
turned to my Lord by virtue of your intercession
concerning this need
of mine so that it may be met. O Allah, accept
his intercession
concerning me)”.
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said
to ‘Abbas: ‘O uncle, shall I not give you a gift, shall I not
benefit you, shall I not uphold my ties of kinship with you?’ He
said:
‘Of course, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said: ‘Pray four
Rak’ah, and
recite in each Rak’ah the Opening of the Book
(Al-Fatihah) and a
Surah. When you have finished reciting, say:
Subhan-Allah wal-hamdu
Lillah wa la ilaha illallah wa Allahu Akbar
(Glory is to Allah, praise
is to Allah, none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah and Allah
is the Most Great) fifteen times
before you bow in Ruku’. Then bow and
say it ten times; then raise
your head and say it ten times; then
prostrate and say it ten times;
then raise your head and say it ten
times; then prostrate and say it
ten times; then raise your head and
say it ten times before you stand
up. That wil be seventy-five times
in each Rak’ah and three hundred
times in the four Rak’ah, and even if
your sins are like the grains
of sand, Allah will forgive you for
them.’ He said: ‘O Messenger
of Allah, what if someone cannot say it
in one day?’ He said: ‘Then
say it once in a week; if you cannot, then
say it once in a month’
until he said: ‘Once in a year.’”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said
to ‘Abbas bin ‘Abdul-Muttalib: ‘O ‘Abbas, O my uncle, shall I
not
give you a gift, shall I not give you something, shall I not tell
you
of something which, if you do it, will expiate for ten types of
sins?
If you do them, Allah will forgive you your sins, the first and
the
last of them, the old and the new, the unintentional and the
deliberate, the minor and the major, the secret and the open, ten
types of sin. Pray four Rak’ah, and recite in each Rak’ah the
Opening
of the Book (Al-Fatihah) and a Surah. When you have finished
reciting
in the first Rak’ah, while you are standing, say:
Subhan-Allah wal-
hamdu Lillah wa la ilaha illallah wa Allahu Akbar
(Glory if to Allah,
praise is to Allah, none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah and
Allah is the Most Great) fifteen times. Then
bow and say it ten times
while you are bowing. Then raise your head
from Ruku’ and say it ten
times. Then go into prostration and say
it ten times while you are
prostrating. Then raise your head from
prostration and say it ten
times. Then prostrate and say it ten
times. Then raise your head from
prostration and say it ten times.
That will be seventy-five times in
each Rak’ah. Do that in all four
Rak’ah. If you can pray it once each
day then do so. If you cannot,
then once each week; if you cannot,
then once each month. If you
cannot, then once in your lifetime.’”
“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘When it is the night of the middle of Sha’ban, spend
its
night in prayer and observe a fast on that day. For Allah
descends at
sunset on that night to the lowest heaven and says: ‘Is
there no one
who will ask Me for forgiveness, that I may forgive him?
Is there no
one who will ask Me for provision, that I may provide for
him? Is
there no one who is afflicted by trouble, that I may relieve
him?’ And
so on, until dawn comes.’”
“I missed the Prophet (ﷺ) one
night, so I went out looking for him. I found him at Al-Baqi’,
raising
his head towards the sky. He said: ‘O ‘Aishah, were you
afraid that
Allah and His Messenger would wrong you?’” She said:
“I said: ‘No, it
is not that, but I thought that you had gone to
one of your other
wives.’ He said: ‘Allah descends on the night
of the middle of Sha’ban
to the lowest heaven, and He forgives more
than the numbers of hairs
on the sheep of Banu Kalb.’”
It was
narrated from Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
said:
“Allah looks down on the night of the middle of Sha’ban
and
forgives all His creation, apart from the idolater and the
Mushahin.”

It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Abu Awfa that the Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) prayed two Rak’ah on the day when he was given the glad
tidings of the head (death) of Abu Jahl.

It was
narrated from Abu Bakrah that when the Prophet (ﷺ) heard
news that
made him happy, or for which one should be happy, he would
fall down
prostrate in gratitude to Allah, the Blessed and Exalted.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْخُزَاعِيُّ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ السُّلَمِيُّ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ بَكَّارِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَانَ إِذَا أَتَاهُ أَمْرٌ يَسُرُّهُ أَوْ يُسَرُّ بِهِ خَرَّ سَاجِدًا شُكْرًا لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى .
“If I heard a Hadith
from
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), Allah benefitted me with it as much
as
He willed, and if I heard it from anyone else, I would ask him to
swear me an oath, then if he swore an oath I would believe him. Abu
Bakr told me and Abu Bakr spoke the truth that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘There is no man who commits a sin then he performs
ablution and does it well, then he prays two Rak’ah,’ (one of the
narrators) Mis’ar said: ‘then performs prayer and seeks the
forgiveness of Allah, but Allah will forgive him.’

It was
narrated from ‘Asim bin Sufyan Thaqafi that they went on the
campaign of Salasil, but no battle took place; they only took up
their
positions. Then they came back to Mu’awiyah, and Abu Ayyub
and ‘Uqbah
bin ‘Amir were with him. ‘Asim said:
“O Abu Ayyub,
we have missed out
on Jihad this year, and we were told that whoever
prays in the four
mosques will be forgiven his sins.” He said: “O
son of my brother,
shall I not tell you of something easier than
that? I heard the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘Whoever performs
ablution as he has
been commanded, and prays as he has been
commanded, will be forgiven
his previous (bad) deeds.’” He said:
“(Did he not say it) like that, O
‘Uqbah?” He said: “Yes.”
“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘Do you
think
that if there was a river in the courtyard of anyone of you, and
he
bathed in it five times each day, would there be any dirt left on
him?’ They said: ‘(There would be) nothing.’ He said: ‘Prayer
takes
away sins like water takes away dirt.’”
It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud that a man did something
with
a woman that was less than adultery; I do not know how far it
went,
but it was less than adultery. He went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and
told
him about that. Then Allah revealed the words:
“And perform the
prayer, at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night.
Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds. That is a reminder for
the mindful.” [11:114] He said: “O Messenger of Allah, is this
only
for me?” He said: “It is for everyone who acts upon it.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘Allah enjoined fifty prayers upon my nation, and I came back
with that until I came to Musa. Musa said: ‘What has your Lord
enjoined upon your nation?’ I said: ‘He has enjoined fifty
prayers on me.’ He said: ‘Go back to your Lord, for your nation
will not be able to do that.’ So I went back to my Lord, and He
reduced it by half. I went back to Musa and told him, and he said:
‘Go back to your Lord, for your nation will not be able to do
that.’ So I went back to my Lord, and He said: ‘They are five and
they are fifty; My Word does not change.’ So I went back to Musa
and he said: ‘Go back to your Lord.’ I said: ‘I feel shy before
my Lord.’”
“I heard the Messenger
of
Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘Five prayers that Allah has enjoined upon His
slaves, so whoever does them, and does not omit anything out of
negligence, on the Day of Resurrection Allah will make a covenant
with
him that He will admit him to Paradise. But whoever does them
but
omits something from them out of negligence, will not have such a
covenant with Allah; if He wills He will punish him, and if He wills,
He will forgive him.’”
It was
narrated from Sharik bin ‘Abdullah bin Abu Namir that he heard
Anas
bin Malik say:
“While we were sitting in the mosque, a man
entered
riding a camel; he made it kneel in the mosque, then he
hobbled it
and said to them: ‘Which of you is Muhammad?’ The Messenger
of
Allah (ﷺ) was reclining among them, so they said: ‘This
fair-
skinned man who is reclining.’ The man said to him: ‘O son
of ‘Abdul-
Muttalib!’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘I am listening to
you.’ The man
said: O Muhammad! I am asking you and will be stern
in asking, so do
not bear any ill-feelings towards me.’ He said:
‘Ask whatever you
think.’ The man said: ‘I adjure you by your
Lord and the Lord of those
who came before you, has Allah sent you to
all of mankind?’ The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘By Allah,
yes.; He said: ‘I adjure you
by Allah, has Allah commanded you to
pray the five prayers each day
and night?’ The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘By Allah, yes.’ He
said: ‘I adjure you by Allah,
has Allah commanded you to fast this
month of each year?’ The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘By Allah,
yes.’ He said: ‘I
adjure you by Allah, has Allah commanded you to take
this charity
from our rich and distribute it among our poor?’ The
Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘By Allah, yes.’ The man said: ‘I
believe in
what you have brought, and I am the envoy of my people who
are behind
me. I am Dimam bin Tha’labah, the brother of Banu Sa’d bin
Bakr.’”

Sa’eed
bin Musayyab said that Abu Qatadah bin Rib’i told him that the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“Allah said: ‘I have enjoined on
your
nation five prayers, and I have made a covenant with Myself that
whoever maintains them, I will admit them to Paradise, and whoever
does not maintain them, has no such covenant with Me.’”
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“One prayer in this mosque of mine is better than a thousand
prayers anywhere else, except The Sacred Mosque (Al-Masjid
Al-Haram).”
(Another chain) from Abu Hurairah from the Prophet (ﷺ) with similar wording.

Mosque is
better than one hundred thousand prayers elsewhere.”

It was
narrated that Maimunah the freed (female) slave of the Prophet
(ﷺ)
said:
I said: “O Messenger of Allah, tell us about Baitil-
Maqdis.”
He said: “It is the land of the Resurrection and the
Gathering. Go
and pray there, for one prayer there is like one
thousand prayers
elsewhere.” I said: “What if I cannot travel and go
there?” He
said: “Then send a gift of oil to light its lamps, for
whoever does
that is like one who goes there.”
It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“When Sulaiman bin Dawud finished building Baitil-Maqdis, he asked
Allah for three things: judgment that was in harmony with His
judgment, a dominion that no one after him would have, and that no
one
should come to this mosque, intending only to pray there, but he
would
emerge free of sin as the day his mother bore him.” The
Prophet (ﷺ)
said: “Two prayers were granted, and I hope that the
third was also
granted.”
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْجَهْمِ الأَنْمَاطِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ السَّيْبَانِيِّ، يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " لَمَّا فَرَغَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ مِنْ بِنَاءِ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ ثَلاَثًا حُكْمًا يُصَادِفُ حُكْمَهُ وَمُلْكًا لاَ يَنْبَغِي لأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَأَلاَّ يَأْتِيَ هَذَا الْمَسْجِدَ أَحَدٌ لاَ يُرِيدُ إِلاَّ الصَّلاَةَ فِيهِ إِلاَّ خَرَجَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كَيَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ " . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " أَمَّا اثْنَتَانِ فَقَدْ أُعْطِيَهُمَا وَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ الثَّالِثَةَ " .
Abul-Abrad, the freed slave of Banu Khatmah, said that he heard Usaid
bin Zuhair Ansari who was one of the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ)
narrating that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“One prayer in the Quba’
Mosque
is like ‘Umrah.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَبْرَدِ، مَوْلَى بَنِي خَطْمَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أُسَيْدَ بْنَ ظُهَيْرٍ الأَنْصَارِيَّ، وَكَانَ، مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنَّهُ قَالَ " صَلاَةٌ فِي مَسْجِدِ قُبَاءٍ كَعُمْرَةٍ "
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever
purifies himself in his house, then comes to the Quba’ Mosque and
offers one prayer therein, will have a reward like that for ‘Umrah.”
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَعِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْكِرْمَانِيُّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ بْنَ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، يَقُولُ قَالَ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " مَنْ تَطَهَّرَ فِي بَيْتِهِ ثُمَّ أَتَى مَسْجِدَ قُبَاءٍ فَصَلَّى فِيهِ صَلاَةً كَانَ لَهُ كَأَجْرِ عُمْرَةٍ "
“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
said: ‘A man’s prayer in his house is equal (in reward) to one
prayer; his prayer in the mosque of the tribes is equal to
twenty-five
prayers; his prayer in the mosque in which Friday prayer
is offered is
equal to five-hundred prayers; his prayer in Aqsa
Mosque is equal to
fifty thousand prayers; his prayer in my mosque is
equal to fifty
thousand prayers; and his prayer in the Sacred Mosque
is equal to one
hundred thousand prayers.”
It was
narrated from Tufail bin Ubayy bin Ka’b that his father said:
“The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray facing the trunk of a date-
palm
tree when the mosque was still a hut, and he used to deliver the
sermon leaning on that trunk. A man from among his Companions said:
‘Would you like us to make you something upon which you can stand
on
Fridays so that the people will be able to see you and hear your
sermon?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ So he made three steps for him, as a
pulpit.
When they put the pulpit in place, they put it in the place
where it
stands now. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wanted to
stand on the
pulpit, he passed by the tree trunk from which he used
to deliver the
sermon, and when he went beyond the trunk, it moaned
and split and
cracked. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came down when he
heard the
voice of the trunk, and rubbed it with his hand until it
fell silent.
Then he went back to the pulpit and when he prayed, he
prayed facing
it. When the mosque was knocked down (for renovation)
and (the
pillars, etc.) were changed, Ubayy bin Ka’b took that
trunk and kept
it in his house until it became very old and the

and it became grains of dust.”
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الرَّقِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّقِّيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، عَنِ الطُّفَيْلِ بْنِ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يُصَلِّي إِلَى جِذْعٍ إِذْ كَانَ الْمَسْجِدُ عَرِيشًا وَكَانَ يَخْطُبُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ الْجِذْعِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ نَجْعَلَ لَكَ شَيْئًا تَقُومُ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ حَتَّى يَرَاكَ النَّاسُ وَتُسْمِعَهُمْ خُطْبَتَكَ قَالَ " نَعَمْ " . فَصَنَعَ لَهُ ثَلاَثَ دَرَجَاتٍ فَهِيَ الَّتِي عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَلَمَّا وُضِعَ الْمِنْبَرُ وَضَعُوهُ فِي مَوْضِعِهِ الَّذِي هُوَ فِيهِ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنْ يَقُومَ إِلَى الْمِنْبَرِ مَرَّ إِلَى الْجِذْعِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَخْطُبُ إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَ الْجِذْعَ خَارَ حَتَّى تَصَدَّعَ وَانْشَقَّ فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ لَمَّا سَمِعَ صَوْتَ الْجِذْعِ فَمَسَحَهُ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى سَكَنَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى صَلَّى إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا هُدِمَ الْمَسْجِدُ وَغُيِّرَ أَخَذَ ذَلِكَ الْجِذْعَ أُبَىُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ وَكَانَ عِنْدَهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ حَتَّى بَلِيَ فَأَكَلَتْهُ الأَرَضَةُ وَعَادَ رُفَاتًا .
It was
narrated from Anas that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to deliver the
sermon
leaning on a tree trunk. When he started to use the pulpit, he
went
to the pulpit, and the trunk made a sorrowful sound. So he came
to
it and embraced it, and it calmed down. He said:
“If I had not
embraced it, it would have continued to grieve until the Day of
Resurrection.”
“The people differed concerning
the
pulpit of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and what it was made of. So
they came to Sahl bin Sa’d and asked him. He said: ‘There is no
one
left who knows more about that than I. It is made of tamarisk (a
type
of tree) from Ghabah. It was made by so-and-so, the freed slave
of so-
and-so (a woman), (who was) a carpenter. He brought it and he
(the
Prophet (ﷺ)) stood on it when it was put in position. He faced
the
Qiblah and the people stood behind him. He recited Qur’an, then
bowed
and raised his head, then he moved backwards until he
prostrated on
the ground, then he went back to the pulpit and recited
Qur’an, then
bowed and raised his head, then he moved backwards
until he prostrated
on the ground.”
“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) used to stand by the root of a tree, or by a tree trunk,
then
he started to use a pulpit. The tree trunk made a grieving
sound.”
Jabir said: “So that the people in the mosque could hear it.
Until
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to it and rubbed it, and it
calmed
down. Some of them said: ‘If he had not come to it, it would
have
grieved until the Day of Resurrection.’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ، بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُومُ فِي أَصْلِ شَجَرَةٍ - أَوْ قَالَ إِلَى جِذْعٍ - ثُمَّ اتَّخَذَ مِنْبَرًا . قَالَ فَحَنَّ الْجِذْعُ - قَالَ جَابِرٌ - حَتَّى سَمِعَهُ أَهْلُ الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى أَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَمَسَحَهُ فَسَكَنَ . فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَوْ لَمْ يَأْتِهِ لَحَنَّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ .
It was
narrated from Abu Wa’il that ‘Abdullah said:
“I prayed one
night with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he kept standing until I
thought of doing something bad.” I said: “What was that?”He
said: “I
thought of sitting down and leaving him.”
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ، وَسُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ قَائِمًا حَتَّى هَمَمْتُ بِأَمْرِ سَوْءٍ . قُلْتُ وَمَا ذَاكَ الأَمْرُ قَالَ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَجْلِسَ وَأَتْرُكَهُ .
It was
narrated from Ziyad bin ‘Ilaqah that he heard Mughirah say:
“The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood (in prayer) until his feet became
swollen. It was said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, Allah has forgiven you
your past and future sins.’ He said: ‘Should I not be a thankful
slave?’”
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلاَقَةَ، سَمِعَ الْمُغِيرَةَ، يَقُولُ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ حَتَّى تَوَرَّمَتْ قَدَمَاهُ . فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ . قَالَ " أَفَلاَ أَكُونُ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا "
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
used
to pray until his feet became swollen. It was said: ‘O Messenger
of
Allah, Allah has forgiven you your past and future sins.’ He said:
‘Should I not be a thankful slave?’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ الرِّفَاعِيُّ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَمَانٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يُصَلِّي حَتَّى تَوَرَّمَتْ قَدَمَاهُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ غَفَرَ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ . قَالَ " أَفَلاَ أَكُونُ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا "
It was
narrated from Kathir bin Murrah that Abu Fatimah told him:
“I
said:
‘O Messenger of Allah! Tell me of a deed that I can adhere to
and
act upon.’ He said: “You should prostrate, for you will not
prostrate to Allah but He will raise you in status one degree thereby
and erase from you one sin.”
“I met Thawban and said to
him:
‘Tell me a Hadith that Allah may benefit me thereby.’ But he
remained silent. Then I said the same and he remained silent. That
happened three times. Then he said to me: ‘You should prostrate to
Allah; for I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “No one
prostrates to Allah but Allah will raise him one degree in status
thereby and will erase one of his sins.” Ma’dan said: “Then I
met Abu
Darda’ and asked him the same question, and he gave a
similar answer.”
It was
narrated from ‘Ubadah bin Samit that he heard the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) say:
“No one prostrates to Allah but Allah will record
one
Hasanah (good reward) for him, and will erase thereby one bad
deed and
raise him in status one degree. So prostrate a great deal.”
“Abu Hurairah said to
me:
‘When you go to your country, tell them that I heard the Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) say: “The first thing for which the Muslim will be
brought to account on the Day of Resurrection will be the prescribed
prayers. If they are complete, all well and good, otherwise it will
be
said: ‘Look and see whether he has any voluntary prayers.’ If
he has
any voluntary prayers, his prescribed prayers will be
completed from
his voluntary prayers. Then the same will be done with
regard to all
his obligatory deeds.”
It was
narrated from Tamim Dari that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“The
first
thing for which a person will be brought to account on the Day
of
Resurrection will be his prayer. If it is complete, then the
voluntary (prayers) will also be recorded for him (as an increase).
If
it is not complete then Allah will say to His angels: ‘Look and
see
whether you find any voluntary prayers for My slave, and take
them to
make up what is lacking from his obligatory prayers.’ Then
all his
deeds will be reckoned in like manner.”

It was
narrated from Al-Mughirah bin Shu’bah that the Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) said:
“The Imam should not pray in the place where he
offered
the obligatory prayer, until he moves aside.”
Another chain from Mughirah, from the Prophet (ﷺ) with similar wording.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، . أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " لاَ يُصَلِّي الإِمَامُ فِي مُقَامِهِ الَّذِي صَلَّى فِيهِ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ حَتَّى يَتَنَحَّى عَنْهُ " .

It was
narrated that ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Shibl said:
“The Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) forbade three things: Pecking like a crow, spreading (the
forearms) like a beast of prey, and a man having a place in the
mosque
in which he usually offers the prayer, like a camel has a
place to
which it usually goes.”
It was
narrated from Yazid bin Abu ‘Ubaid that Salamah bin Al-Akwa’
used
to offer the Duha prayer, and he would come to the pillar that
was
near the Mushaf. I said to him:
“Why do you not pray over there?”
And I pointed to some corner of the mosque. He said: “I saw the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) seeking out this place.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘Keep your shoes on your feet. If you take them off then
place
them between your two feet; do not place them to your right, or
to the
right of your companions, or behind you, for they may annoy
whoever is
behind you.’”
