    (قلت: إسناده صحيح على شرط الشيخين بالرواية الأخرى. وقد أخرجها البخاري ومسلم وأبو عوانة في "صحاحهم". وأما الرواية الأولى التي فيها تسمية المرأة بـ (حمنة)؛ فهي منكرة؛ لأنه تفرد بها من لا يُعْرَف؛ مع مخالفته لجمع من الثقات)

1312. Anas narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ once entered the Masjid and saw a rope tied between two pillars. He said: "What is this rope?" He was told: "O Messenger of Allāh! This is for Hamnah bint Jaḥsh; when she prays and becomes tired, she holds on to it (for support).” So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Let her pray as much as she can, and when she gets tired, let her sit down.” Ziyād (one of the narrators) said (in his version): “He ﷺ asked: ‘What is this?’ They replied: ‘This is for Zainab; when she prays and gets tired or feels lethargic, she holds on to it.’ So he replied: ‘Untie it; let one of you pray according to his enthusiasm. If he gets tired or feels lethargic, let him sit.’” (Saḥīh)

Arabic text

1312 - حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَهَارُونُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ، أَنَّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَهُمْ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلم الْمَسْجِدَ، وَحَبْلٌ مَمْدُودٌ بَيْنَ سَارِيَتَيْنِ، فَقَالَ: «مَا هَذَا الْحَبْلُ؟» فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَذِهِ حَمْنَةُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ تُصَلِّي، فَإِذَا أَعْيَتْ تَعَلَّقَتْ بِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لِتُصَلِّ مَا أَطَاقَتْ، فَإِذَا أَعْيَتْ، فَلْتَجْلِسْ»، قَالَ زِيَادٌ: فَقَالَ: «مَا هَذَا؟» فَقَالُوا: لِزَيْنَبَ تُصَلِّي، فَإِذَا كَسِلَتْ، أَوْ فَتَرَتْ أَمْسَكَتْ بِهِ، فَقَالَ: «حُلُّوهُ»، فَقَالَ: «لِيُصَلِّ أَحَدُكُمْ نَشَاطَهُ، فَإِذَا كَسِلَ أَوْ فَتَرَ، فَلْيَقْعُدْ»

Commentary

1. Women may also perform voluntary prayers in the Masjid provided that they observe proper Hijāb. 2. Devotional worship with moderation is best.
