ahmad:26111ʿUthmān b. ʿUmar > Yūnus > al-Zuhrī > ʿUrwah > ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray on a mat, so he said, "O Aisha, remove your mat because I fear that it will distract the people."  

أحمد:٢٦١١١حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى خُمْرَةٍ فَقَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ ارْفَعِي عَنَّا حَصِيرَكِ هَذَا فَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ يَفْتِنَ النَّاسَ
