613. 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Al-Aswad reported from his father that he said, "Alqmah and I asked permission (to come inside the house) of 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd — and we had sat a long time waiting at his door. The slave-girl came out and sought permission for us, and he allowed us in. Then he stood up and prayed between us, then said: 'This is how I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ do.'" (Hasan)
