ahmad-zuhd:1035ʿAbdullāh from my father > Abū Yaḥyá al-Ḥimmānī > Salamah b. Nubayṭ

[Machine] My father, grandfather, and uncle were with the Prophet ﷺ . My father told me that he saw the Prophet ﷺ giving a sermon on the evening of Arafah on a red camel. Salamah said: My father advised me to perform the pre-dawn prayer. I said, "O my father, I cannot bear it." He said, "Then pray two rak'ahs before dawn and do not abandon them, and do not be fascinated by temptation."  

الزهد لأحمد:١٠٣٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ نُبَيْطٍ قَالَ

كَانَ أَبِي وَجَدِّي وعَمِّي مَعَ النَّبَيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي قَالَ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ عَشِيَّةَ عَرَفَةَ عَلَى جَمَلٍ أَحْمَرَ

قالَ سَلَمَةُ: أوْصانِي أبِي بِصَلاةِ السَّحَرِ، قُلْتُ: يا أبَتِ إنِّي لا أُطِيقُها، قالَ: فانْظُرِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الفَجْرِ لا تَدَعْهُما، ولا تَشْخَصْ فِي الفِتْنَةِ "

[Machine] Salama ibn Nubayt narrated: My father, grandfather, and uncle were with the Prophet ﷺ . He told me that my father said, "I saw the Prophet ﷺ delivering a sermon on the evening of Arafat while riding a red camel." Salama then said, "My father advised me to pray the pre-dawn prayer (Tahajjud). I told him that I couldn't handle it." He replied, "Then perform two units of prayer before Fajr and don't leave them, and do not involve yourself in Fitnah (discord or strife)."
