2459. It was reported Abū Sa'eed, who said: "A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ while we were with him. She said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! My husband Ṣafwān bin Al-Mu'aṭṭal beats me if I pray, and he makes me break my fast if I fast, and he does not pray Fajr (dawn) prayer until the sun rises.'" He (Abū Sa'eed) said: "And Ṣafwān was present." He said: "He was asked about his wife's statement. He said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! As far as her statement: "He beats [1] He is among those who conveyed the text. me if I pray,” she recites two Sūrahs, and I prohibited her from that.”” He said: “Then he (the Prophet ﷺ) said: ‘If one Sūrah was recited it would be sufficient for the people.’” And about her statement: “He makes me break my fast,” she keeps on fasting and I am a young man, and I am not that patient.’ Upon that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘A woman is not to fast except with her husband’s permission.’ And about her statement that I do not pray until sunrise; we are from a class of people known for it, we cannot wake up till the sun rises.’ He said: “Then when you wake up, pray.”” (Da’if) Abū Dāwūd said: Ḥammād — meaning Ibn Salamah — reported it; “from Ḥumaid or Thābit, from Abū Al-Mutawakkil.”

2459 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَنَحْنُ عِنْدَهُ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ زَوْجِي صَفْوَانَ بْنَ الْمُعَطَّلِ، يَضْرِبُنِي إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ، وَيُفَطِّرُنِي إِذَا صُمْتُ، وَلَا يُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ، قَالَ وَصَفْوَانُ عِنْدَهُ، قَالَ: فَسَأَلَهُ عَمَّا قَالَتْ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَمَّا قَوْلُهَا يَضْرِبُنِي إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ، فَإِنَّهَا تَقْرَأُ بِسُورَتَيْنِ وَقَدْ نَهَيْتُهَا، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: «لَوْ كَانَتْ سُورَةً وَاحِدَةً لَكَفَتِ النَّاسَ»، وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهَا: يُفَطِّرُنِي، فَإِنَّهَا تَنْطَلِقُ فَتَصُومُ، وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ، فَلَا أَصْبِرُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ: «لَا تَصُومُ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ زَوْجِهَا»، وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهَا: إِنِّي لَا أُصَلِّي حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ، فَإِنَّا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ قَدْ عُرِفَ لَنَا ذَاكَ، لَا نَكَادُ نَسْتَيْقِظُ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ، قَالَ: «فَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظْتَ فَصَلِّ»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: رَوَاهُ حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، أَوْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُتَوَكِّلِ

Commentary

The rule for the one who overslept or forgot (as preceded) is to perform the Ṣalāt as soon as they wake up or remember.
