1198. Narrated Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbās: 'Abdullāh bin 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما said that he stayed overnight in the house of Maimūna, the Mother of the faithful-believers, who was his aunt. He said, "I was lying on the cushion transversally in its breadthwise direction, and Allāh's Messenger ﷺ along with his wife lying in its lengthwise direction. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ slept till midnight or slightly before or after it. Then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ woke up, sat, and removed the traces of sleep by rubbing his hands over his face. Then he recited the last ten Verses of Sūrāt Āl-Imrān (Sūrah No.3). Then he went towards a hanging leather water-container and performed a perfect ablution and then stood up for Ṣalāt (prayer)." 'Abdullāh bin 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما added, "I got up and did the same as Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had done and then went and stood by his (left) side. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ then put his right hand over my head and caught my right ear and twisted it (pulled me, and made me stand by his right side). He offered two Rak'ā (prayer), then two Rak'ā (prayer), then two Rak'ā, then two Rak'ā (prayer), then two Rak'ā (prayer), then two Rak'ā (prayer) and then offered one Rak'ā Witr prayer. Then he lay down till the Mu'adh-dhīn came and then he offered two light Rak'ā (Sunna of the Fajr prayer) and went out and offered the early morning Ṣalāt (Fajr prayer)."

1201. Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: The Prophet ﷺ went out to affect a reconciliation between the tribes of Banī 'Amr bin 'Aūf and the time for the Salāt (prayer) became due; Bilāl went to Abū Bakr رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ and said, "The Prophet ﷺ is detained. Will you lead the people in the Salāt (prayer)?" Abū Bakr replied, "Yes, if you wish." So, Bilāl pronounced the Iqāma and Abū Bakr رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ led the Salāt (prayer). In the meantime the Prophet ﷺ came crossing the rows [of the people offering Salāt (prayer)] till he stood in the first row and the people started clapping. Abū Bakr رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ never looked hither and thither during the Salāt (prayer), but when the people clapped too much, he looked back and saw the Prophet ﷺ in the (first) row. The Prophet ﷺ waved him to remain at his place, but Abū Bakr raised both his hands and said: Al-Hamdu-lillāh (i.e. all the praises be to Allāh) and then retreated and the Prophet ﷺ went forward and led the Salāt (prayer). (See Hadīth No. 1203 & 1204).

1202. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: We used to say the greeting, name and greet each other in As-Salāt (the prayer). Allāh's Messenger ﷺ heard it and said: "Say, 'At-tahiyātu lillāhi waṣ-salawātu waṭ-taiyibātu. Assalāmu 'alaikā ayyuhan Nabīyyu wa-raḥmatullāhi wa-barakātuhū. Assalāmu 'alainā wa 'alā 'ibādillāhiṣ-ṣāliḥin. Aṣḥadu an lā ilāha illallāh wa aṣḥadu anna Muḥammadan 'abduhū wa Rasūluhu.'" [All the compliments are for Allāh and all the Salawāt (prayers etc.) and all the good things (are for Allāh). Peace be on you, O Prophet, and Allāh's Mercy and Blessings (be on you). And peace be on us and on the good (pious) slaves – worshippers of Allāh. I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh; and I also testify that Muḥammad is His slave and His Messenger]. So, when you have said this, then you have surely sent the greetings to every good (pious) slave – worshipper of Allāh, whether he be in the heavens or on the earth."

1205. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه : While Abū Bakr رضي الله عنه was leading the people in the Fajr prayer on a Monday, the Prophet ﷺ surprised them suddenly having lifted the curtain of 'Aīshah's house, and looked at them while they were standing in rows and smiled. Abū Bakr tried to retreat back thinking that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ wanted to come out for the Ṣalāt (prayer). The attention of the Muslims was diverted from the Ṣalāt (prayer) because they were delighted to see the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ waved his hand to them to complete their Ṣalāt (prayer), then he went back into the room and let down the curtain. The Prophet ﷺ expired on that very day.

A shepherdess used to come by his hermitage for grazing her sheep and she gave birth to a child. She was asked whose child that was, and she replied that it was from Juraij and that he had come out from his hermitage. Juraij said, 'Where is that woman who claims that her child is from me?' (When she was brought to him along with the child), Juraij asked the child, 'O Bābūs(1), who is your father?' The child replied, 'The shepherd.'" (See Hadīth No. 2482, Vol.3).

1208. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه: We used to offer Salāt (prayer) with the Prophet ﷺ in scorching heat, and if someone of us could not put his face on the earth (because of the heat) then he would spread his clothes and prostrate over them.

English translation

1210. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ once offered the Salāt (prayer) and said, "Satan came in front of me and tried to interrupt my Salāt (prayer), but Allāh gave me an upper hand on him and I choked him. No doubt, I thought of tying him to one of the pillars of the mosque till you get up in the morning and see him. Then I remembered the statement of Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon) عليه السلام 'My Lord! Forgive me, and bestow upon me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me... (V.38:35).' Then Allāh made him (Satan) return with his head down (humiliated)."

1210 - حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى صَلاَةً، قَالَ: " إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ عَرَضَ لِي فَشَدَّ عَلَيَّ لِيَقْطَعَ الصَّلاَةَ عَلَيَّ، فَأَمْكَنَنِي اللَّهُ مِنْهُ، فَذَعَتُّهُ وَلَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أُوثِقَهُ إِلَى سَارِيَةٍ حَتَّى تُصْبِحُوا، فَتَنْظُرُوا إِلَيْهِ، فَذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ سُلَيْمَانَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ: رَبِّ {هَبْ لِي مُلْكًا لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِي} فَرَدَّهُ اللَّهُ خَاسِيًا " ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ: " فَذَعَتُّهُ: بِالذَّالِ أَيْ خَنَقْتُهُ، وَفَدَعَّتُّهُ مِنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ: {يَوْمَ يُدَعُّونَ} [الطور: 13]: أَيْ يُدْفَعُونَ، وَالصَّوَابُ: فَدَعَتُّهُ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ كَذَا قَالَ، بِتَشْدِيدِ العَيْنِ وَالتَّاءِ "

English translation

1211. Narrated Al-Azraq bin Qais: We were at Al-Ahwāz fighting the Al-Harūriya (tribe). While I was at the bank of a river a man was offering Ṣalāt (prayer) and the reins of his animal were in his hands and the animal was struggling and he was following the animal. (Shu'ba, a subnarrator, said that the man was Abū Barza Al-Aslamī). A man from the Khawārij said, "O Allāh! Be harsh to this Sheikh." And when the Sheikh (Abū Barza) finished his Ṣalāt (prayer), he said, "I heard your remark. No doubt, I participated with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ in six or seven or eight Ghazawāt (holy battles) and saw his leniency, and no doubt, I would rather retain my animal than let it return to its stable, as it would cause me much trouble."

Arabic text

1211 - حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَزْرَقُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا بِالأَهْوَازِ نُقَاتِلُ الحَرُورِيَّةَ، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا عَلَى جُرُفِ نَهَرٍ إِذَا رَجُلٌ يُصَلِّي، وَإِذَا لِجَامُ دَابَّتِهِ بِيَدِهِ، فَجَعَلَتِ الدَّابَّةُ تُنَازِعُهُ وَجَعَلَ يَتْبَعُهَا - قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: هُوَ أَبُو بَرْزَةَ الأَسْلَمِيُّ - فَجَعَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الخَوَارِجِ يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ افْعَلْ بِهَذَا الشَّيْخِ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ الشَّيْخُ، قَالَ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ قَوْلَكُمْ «وَإِنِّي غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِتَّ غَزَوَاتٍ - أَوْ سَبْعَ غَزَوَاتٍ - وَثَمَانِيَ وَشَهِدْتُ تَيْسِيرَهُ»، وَإِنِّي إِنْ كُنْتُ أَنْ أُرَاجِعَ مَعَ دَابَّتِي أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَدَعَهَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَأْلَفِهَا فَيَشُقُّ عَلَيَّ

English translation

1212. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها: Once the sun eclipsed and Allāh's Messenger ﷺ stood up for the Ṣalāt (prayer) and recited a very long Sūrah and then bowed for a long while and then raised his head and started reciting another Sūrah. Then he bowed, and after finishing it (the Sūrah), he prostrated (twice) and did the same in the second Rak'ā and then said, "These (lunar and solar eclipses) are two signs from amongst the signs of Allāh; and if you see them, offer Ṣalāt till the eclipse has cleared. No doubt, while standing at this place I saw everything promised to me by Allāh and I saw (Paradise) and I wanted to pluck a bunch (of grapes) therefrom, at the time when you saw me stepping forward. No doubt, I saw Hell (with its different parts) destroying each other when you saw me retreating and in it I saw 'Amr bin Luhai who started the tradition of As-Sāwaib (she-camels let loose for free pastures in the name of idols, and other false deities)."

Arabic text

1212 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَرَأَ سُورَةً طَوِيلَةً، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، ثُمَّ اسْتَفْتَحَ بِسُورَةٍ أُخْرَى، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ حَتَّى قَضَاهَا وَسَجَدَ، ثُمَّ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَصَلُّوا، حَتَّى يُفْرَجَ عَنْكُمْ، لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وُعِدْتُهُ، حَتَّى لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ آخُذَ قِطْفًا مِنَ الجَنَّةِ، حِينَ رَأَيْتُمُونِي جَعَلْتُ أَتَقَدَّمُ، وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ جَهَنَّمَ يَحْطِمُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا، حِينَ رَأَيْتُمُونِي تَأَخَّرْتُ، وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا عَمْرَو بْنَ لُحَيٍّ وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَيَّبَ السَّوَائِبَ»

1213. Narrated Ibn 'Umar: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا The Prophet ﷺ saw some sputum on the wall facing the Qiblah of the mosque and became furious with the people of the mosque and said, "During the Ṣalāt (prayer), Allāh is in front of everyone of you and so he should not spit (or said, 'He should not expectorate')." Then he got down and scratched the sputum with his hand. Ibn 'Umar رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا said (after narrating), "If anyone of you has to spit during the Ṣalāt (prayer), he should spit to his left."

So, I felt so sorry that only Allāh knows it and I said to myself, 'Perhaps Allāh's Messenger ﷺ is angry because I did not come quickly,' then again I greeted him but he did not reply. I felt even more sorry than I did the first time. Again I greeted him and he returned the greeting and said, "The thing which prevented me from returning the greeting was that I was offering Ṣalāt (prayer)." And at that time he was on his Rāhila (mount) and his face was not towards the Qiblah.

1218. Narrated Saḥl bin Sa'd رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: The news about the differences amongst the people of Banī 'Amr bin 'Auf at Qubā' reached Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and so he went to them along with some of his Companions to effect a reconciliation. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was delayed there and the time for the Ṣalāt (prayer) became due. Bilāl came to Abū Bakr رضي الله عنه and said, "O Abū Bakr! Allāh's Messenger is detained (there) and the time for the Salāt (prayer) is due. Will you lead the people in Salāt (prayer)?" Abū Bakr replied, "Yes, if you wish." So Bīlāl pronounced the Iqāma and Abū Bakr went forward and said Takbīr for the people. In the meantime, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ came passing through the rows till he stood in the (first) row and the people started clapping. Abū Bakr رضي الله عنه would never look hither and thither during the Salāt (prayer) but when the people clapped much, he looked back and (saw) Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ beckoned him to carry on. Abū Bakr raised both his hands, praised and thanked Allāh and retreated till he stood in the (first) row. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ went forward and led the people in the Salāt (prayer). When he had completed the Salāt (prayer), he faced the people and said, "O people! Why did you start clapping when something happened to you in the Salāt (prayer)? Clapping is for women. Whenever one is confronted with something unusual in the Salāt (prayer) one should say, 'Subḥān Allāh'." Then the Prophet ﷺ looked towards Abū Bakr and asked, "What prevented you from leading the Salāt (prayer) when I beckoned you to carry on?" Abū Bakr replied, "It does not befit the son of Abī Quḥāfa to lead the Salāt (prayer) in the presence of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ." (See H. No. 684 and 1234).

1218 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ العَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: بَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ بِقُبَاءٍ كَانَ بَيْنَهُمْ شَيْءٌ، فَخَرَجَ يُصْلِحُ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي أُنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، فَحُبِسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَحَانَتِ الصَّلاَةُ، فَجَاءَ بِلاَلٌ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ حُبِسَ، وَقَدْ حَانَتِ الصَّلاَةُ، فَهَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تَؤُمَّ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ إِنْ شِئْتَ، فَأَقَامَ بِلاَلٌ الصَّلاَةَ وَتَقَدَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، فَكَبَّرَ لِلنَّاسِ وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْشِي فِي الصُّفُوفِ يَشُقُّهَا شَقًّا، حَتَّى قَامَ فِي الصَّفِّ، فَأَخَذَ النَّاسُ فِي التَّصْفِيحِ - قَالَ سَهْلٌ: التَّصْفِيحُ: هُوَ التَّصْفِيقُ - قَالَ: وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، لاَ يَلْتَفِتُ فِي صَلاَتِهِ، فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرَ النَّاسُ التَفَتَ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ يَأْمُرُهُ: «أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ»، فَرَفَعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، يَدَهُ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ القَهْقَرَى وَرَاءَهُ حَتَّى قَامَ فِي الصَّفِّ، وَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَصَلَّى لِلنَّاسِ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، مَا لَكُمْ حِينَ نَابَكُمْ شَيْءٌ فِي الصَّلاَةِ أَخَذْتُمْ بِالتَّصْفِيحِ؟ إِنَّمَا التَّصْفِيحُ لِلنِّسَاءِ، مَنْ نَابَهُ شَيْءٌ فِي صَلاَتِهِ فَلْيَقُلْ: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ " ثُمَّ التَفَتَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: «يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ لِلنَّاسِ حِينَ أَشَرْتُ إِلَيْكَ؟» قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: مَا كَانَ يَنْبَغِي لِابْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

1221. Narrated ‘Uqba bin Al-Hārith رضي الله عنه: I offered the Asr prayer with the Prophet ﷺ and after finishing the Salāt (prayer) with Taslīm he got up quickly and went to some of his wives and then came out. He ﷺ noticed the signs of astonishment on the faces of the people caused by his speed. He then said, “I remembered while I was in my Salāt (prayer) that a piece of gold was lying in my house and I disliked that it should remain with us throughout the night, and so I have ordered it to be distributed.”

Arabic text

1221 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ هُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الحَارِثِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ العَصْرَ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَامَ سَرِيعًا دَخَلَ عَلَى بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَرَأَى مَا فِي وُجُوهِ القَوْمِ مِنْ تَعَجُّبِهِمْ لِسُرْعَتِهِ، فَقَالَ: «ذَكَرْتُ وَأَنَا فِي الصَّلاَةِ تِبْرًا عِنْدَنَا، فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ يُمْسِيَ - أَوْ يَبِيتَ عِنْدَنَا - فَأَمَرْتُ بِقِسْمَتِهِ»

English translation

1222. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "When the Adhān for the Ṣalāt (prayer) is pronounced, then Satan takes to his heels passing wind so that he may not hear the Adhān and when the Mu'adh-dhīn finishes (the Adhān); he comes back; and when the Iqāma is pronounced he again takes to his heels. And when it is finished, he again comes back and continues reminding the person offering Ṣalāt (prayer) of things that he used not to remember when not in Ṣalāt (prayer), till he forgets how many Rak'ā he has offered." Abū Salama bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān said, "If anyone of you encounters such a thing (forgetting the number of Rak'ā he has offered), he should perform two prostrations (of Sahw i.e. forgetfulness) while sitting." Abū Salama narrates this on the authority of Abū Hurairah.

1223. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: People say that I narrate too many narrations of the Prophet ﷺ; once I met a man (during the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ) and asked him, "Which Sūrah did Allāh's Messenger ﷺ recite yesterday in the Ishā (prayer)?" He said, "I do not know." I said, "Did you not attend the Ṣalāt (prayer)?" He said, "Yes, (I did)." I said, "I know. He recited such and such Sūrah."
