1265. It was narrated that Asmâ' bint Abu Bakr said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ performed the eclipse prayer. He stood for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he stood up and stood for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he stood up, then he prostrated for a long time, then he sat up, then he prostrated for a long time. He stood for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he stood up and stood for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he stood up, then he prostrated for a long time, then he sat up, then he prostrated for a long time. Then he finished and said: 'Paradise was brought close to me, so that if I had dared, I could have brought you some of its fruits. And Hell was brought near to me, until I said, "O Lord, am I one of them?" Nāfi' said: "I think that he said: 'And I saw a woman being scratched by a cat that belonged to her. I said: "What is wrong with this woman?" They said: "She detained it until it died of hunger; she did not feed it and she did not let it loose to eat of the vermin of the earth." (Sahih)

Commentary

Imâm Bukhârî has inferred the rule from this Hadith that the prayer of a person will be in order despite the presence, in front of him, of anything such as fire (which some people take as an object of worship) if the person concerned has the intention of prostrating himself only before Allâh. (Sahih Al-Bukhârî: 731).
