English translation
840. I heard from 'Ibān bin Mālik Al-Anṣārī, who was one from Banī Sālim, saying, "I used to lead my tribe of Banī Sālim in Ṣalāt (prayer). Once I went to the Prophet ﷺ and said to him, 'I have weak eyesight and at times the rain-water floods intervenes between me and the mosque of my tribe and I wish that you would come to my house and offer Ṣalāt at some place so that I could take that place as a Muṣalla (appointed place for Ṣalāt). He said, "If Allāh will, I will do so." Next day Allāh's Messenger ﷺ along with Abū Bakr رضي الله عنه came to my house after the sun had risen high and he asked permission to enter. I gave him permission, but he didn't sit till he said to me, "Where do you want me to offer Ṣalāt in your house?" I pointed to a place in the house where I wanted him to offer Ṣalāt. So he stood up for the Ṣalāt and we aligned behind him. He completed the Ṣalāt with Taslim and we did the same simultaneously."
