English translation

657. Anas bin Mālik narrated that a man from the Anṣār said: "O Messenger of Allāh, I am a heavy man" — (Anas said) and he was large in stature — "and cannot pray with you." And he had prepared some food for him and invited him to his house. "So pray (here) so that I can see how you pray and imitate you.” So they splashed some water on the corner of a Ḥaṣīr they had, and he (ﷺ) stood and prayed two Rak’ahs.” A person from the tribe of Jārūd asked Anas bin Mālik: “Did he used to pray Duḥā?” He said: “I only saw him pray (it) that day.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

657 - حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي رَجُلٌ ضَخْمٌ وَكَانَ ضَخْمًا، لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ مَعَكَ، وَصَنَعَ لَهُ طَعَامًا وَدَعَاهُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ، فَصَلِّ حَتَّى أَرَاكَ كَيْفَ تُصَلِّي فَأَقْتَدِيَ بِكَ، «فَنَضَحُوا لَهُ طَرَفَ حَصِيرٍ كَانَ لَهُمْ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ»، قَالَ فُلَانُ بْنُ الْجَارُودِ لِأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ: أَكَانَ يُصَلِّي الضُّحَى؟ قَالَ: لَمْ أَرَهُ صَلَّى إِلَّا يَوْمَئِذٍ

  1. 1

    [1] A small mat, made of woven palm leaves or the like, large enough to cover the area for one's face and hands during prostration. When it is larger it is called Ḥaṣir as in the next chapter.
