738 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ يَعْنِي الشَّيْبَانِيَّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ: «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى الْخُمْرَةِ»

Commentary

Hasir denotes a big mat woven out of palm-leaves, while Khamra signifies a small mat. Some scholars hold that Khamra denotes a small mat (oblong shaped) large enough for a man to prostrate himself upon, while it is placed below his face and his palms. But in actuality, the use of this term is general. It denotes a wide range (of mats); and prayer is permissible upon it.
