[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying in a sitting position, and Abu Bakr ibn al-Harith informed us that Abu Muhammad ibn Hayyan narrated to us that Ibn Zuhair al-Tustari, Muhammad ibn Yahya, and Muhammad ibn al-Abbas said: Yusuf al-Qattan narrated to us that Abu Dawud al-Hafari mentioned it with a similar narration except that he said it was narrated by Humaid al-Tawil.  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي مُتَرَبِّعًا وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ أنبأ أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ حَيَّانَ ثنا ابْنُ زُهَيْرٍ التُّسْتَرِيُّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ قَالُوا ثنا يُوسُفُ الْقَطَّانُ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْحَفَرِيُّ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمِثْلِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ  

[Machine] She said, "I saw the Prophet ﷺ praying in a seated position. It has been narrated in a confirmed hadith from Uthman ibn Hakeem, from Aamir ibn Abdullah ibn Zubair, from his father who said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to place his left foot between his thigh and his calf, and he would spread his right foot out, except when he was sitting for tashahhud. Perhaps this was due to discomfort, and Allah knows best."  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي مُتَرَبِّعًا وَقَدْ رُوِّينَا فِي الْحَدِيثِ الثَّابِتِ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَعَدَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ جَعَلَ قَدَمَهُ الْيُسْرَى بَيْنَ فَخِذِهِ وَسَاقِهِ وَفَرَشَ قَدَمَهُ الْيُمْنَى إِلَّا أَنَّ ذَلِكَ فِي الْقُعُودِ لِلتَّشَهُّدِ وَلَعَلَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ مِنْ شَكْوَى وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] I saw the Prophet ﷺ making dua like this, and he placed his hands on his knees while sitting. The sheikh said, and Uqbah, the brother of Sa'id ibn 'Ubaid al-Tai, narrated that he saw Anas ibn Malik praying while sitting. And Omar also narrated it from him, a sheikh from the Ansar.  

رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَدْعُو هَكَذَا وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَهُوَ مُتَرَبِّعٌ جَالِسٌ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَقَدْ رَوَى عُقْبَةُ أَخُو سَعِيدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ الطَّائِيِّ أَنَّهُ رَأَى أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يُصَلِّي مُتَرَبِّعًا وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا عَنْهُ عُمَرُ شَيْخٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ  

[Machine] Abu Abdullah, I do not know how I heard it except from him. He said, "And it was Abbad who narrated it to me, and he did not say it in a reclining position."  

أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ لَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّى سَمِعْتُهُ إِلَّا مِنْهُ قَالَ وَكَانَ عَبَّادٌ يَرْوِيهِ لَا يَقُولُ فِيهِ مُتَرَبِّعًا  

[Machine] That his legs cannot carry him, and that happens, God willing.  

بِأَنَّ رِجْلَيْهِ لَا تَحْمِلَانِهِ وَذَلِكَ يَرِدُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ تَعَالَى  

[Machine] He hated it.  

أَنَّهُ كَرِهَهُ  

[Machine] And Ibn Abbas said, "I think he dislikes it."  

وَقَالَ أَحْسَبُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ كَرِهَهُ  

[Machine] To sit comfortably in prayer was supported by Al-Shafi'i in his book "Ali" and Abdullah without any conditions. He said that what Ibn Mas'ud dislikes, which is a man sitting during prayer, is disliked by the people of Iraq who disagree with Ibn Mas'ud. They say that the sitting position during prayer is a form of sitting. Then, in the book of Al-Buwayti, he said that one should sit in the position of standing while being comfortably seated. And how is it possible? It seems that he specifically highlighted this or reached it based on some previous evidence. And Allah knows best.  

أَنْ أَقْعُدَ مُتَرَبِّعًا فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَهَذَا قَدْ حَمَلَهُ الشَّافِعِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ وَعَبْدِ اللهِ عَلَى الْإِطْلَاقِ وَقَالَ يُكْرَهُ مَا يَكْرَهُ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ مِنْ تَرَبُّعِ الرَّجُلِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَهُمْ يَعْنِي الْعِرَاقِيِّينَ يُخَالِفُونَ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ وَيَقُولُونَ قِيَامُ صَلَاةِ الْجَالِسِ التَّرَبُّعُ ثُمَّ فِي كِتَابِ الْبُوَيْطِيِّ قَالَ يَقْعُدُ فِي مَوْضِعِ الْقِيَامِ مُتَرَبِّعًا وَكَيْفَ أَمْكَنَهُ وَكَأَنَّهُ حَمَلَهُ عَلَى الْخُصُوصِ أَوْ ذَهَبَ إِلَيْهِ بِبَعْضِ مَا مَضَى وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] Allah ﷺ visited a sick person and saw him praying on a pillow. He took it and threw it away. Then, he took a stick to pray on it but he took it and threw it as well. He said, "Pray on the ground if you can, otherwise make a slight gesture and make your prostration lower than your bowing. And this is how..."  

اللهِ ﷺ عَادَ مَرِيضًا فَرَآهُ يُصَلِّي عَلَى وِسَادَةٍ فَأَخَذَهَا فَرَمَى بِهَا فَأَخَذَ عُودًا لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَخَذَهُ فَرَمَى بِهِ وَقَالَ صَلِّ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ وَإِلَّا فَأَوْمِ إِيمَاءً وَاجْعَلْ سُجُودَكَ أَخْفَضَ مِنْ رُكُوعِكَ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] Narrated from Nafi', raised (in status) and not inconsequential, and it has been narrated from another source, from Ibn 'Umar, halted/ stopped.  

عَنْ نَافِعٍ مَرْفُوعًا وَلَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ مَوْقُوفًا  

[Machine] And He said, "Do not take for yourselves any other gods. Maintain the prayer, standing and prostrating. And if you are unable, then bow with reverence and make your prostration lower than your bowing."  

وقَالَ لَا تَتَّخِذْ لِلَّهِ أَنْدَادًا صَلِّ قَاعِدًا وَاسْجُدْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ فَأَوْمِ إِيمَاءً وَاجْعَلِ السُّجُودَ أَخْفَضَ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ  

[Machine] I entered with Abdullah to visit his brother Utbah, who was sick. Abdullah saw a fan with his brother and took it away from him. He said, "Prostrate on the ground, and if you are unable, then make a gesture and make the prostration lower than the bowing."  

دَخَلْتُ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَلَى أَخِيهِ عُتْبَةَ نَعُودُهُ وَهُوَ مَرِيضٌ فَرَأَى مَعَ أَخِيهِ مِرْوَحَةً يَسْجُدُ عَلَيْهَا فَانْتَزَعَهَا مِنْهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَقَالَ اسْجُدْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ فَأَوْمِ إِيمَاءً وَاجْعَلِ السُّجُودَ أَخْفَضَ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ  

[Machine] I saw Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , prostrating on a pillow made of animal skin, with 3675 (hairs) in it. Abu Nasr ibn Qatadah informed us that Ahmad ibn Ishaq ibn Shayban al-Harawi informed us that Mu'adh ibn Najdah narrated to us, from Kamal bin Talhah, from Hammad bin Salamah, from Thabit al-Bunani, from Ali ibn Zaid, and Yunus ibn Ubayd, from Al-Hasan, from Umm al-Hasan, that she saw Umm Salamah praying on a pillow made of animal skin, which had an eye (a black spot) on it. He (Imam Bukhari) said: And Kamal bin Talhah narrated to us from Mubarak ibn Fadalah, from Al-Hasan, from his mother, with a similar narration. And it is also narrated from Ibn Abbas that he permitted prostrating on a pillow and a cushion.  

رَأَيْتُ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ تَسْجُدُ عَلَى وِسَادَةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ مِنْ رَمَدٍ بِهَا 3675 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ شَيْبَانَ الْهَرَوِيُّ أنبأ مُعَاذُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ ثنا كَامِلُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ وَعَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ وَيُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أُمِّ الْحَسَنِ أَنَّهَا رَأَتْ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ تُصَلِّي عَلَى وِسَادَةٍ مِنْ رَمَدٍ كَانَ بِعَيْنِهَا قَالَ وَثنا كَامِلٌ ثنا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أُمِّهِ بِمِثْلِهِ وَرُوِّيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ رَخَّصَ فِي السُّجُودِ عَلَى الْوِسَادَةِ وَالْمِخَدَّةِ  

[Machine] I saw Adi bin Hatim prostrating on a wall in the mosque that was the height of an arm.  

رَأَيْتُ عَدِيَّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ يَسْجُدُ عَلَى جِدَارٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ارْتِفَاعُهُ قَدْرُ ذِرَاعٍ  

[Machine] "About Israel-"  

عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ  

[Machine] "Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ he said: A sick person should pray standing if he is able to, and if he is unable, then he should pray sitting. If he is unable to prostrate, he should gesture and make his prostration lower than his bowing. If he is unable to pray sitting, he should pray on his right side, facing the direction of the Kaaba. If he is unable to pray on his right side, he should pray lying down, with his foot pointing towards the direction of the Kaaba."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يُصَلِّي الْمَرِيضُ قَائِمًا إِنِ اسْتَطَاعَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ أَوْمَأَ وَجَعَلَ سُجُودَهُ أَخْفَضَ مِنْ رُكُوعِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ قَاعِدًا صَلَّى عَلَى جَنْبِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَى جَنْبِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ صَلَّى مُسْتَلْقِيًا رِجْلُهُ مِمَّا يَلِي الْقِبْلَةَ  

[Machine] He said, "The patient prays while lying on his back with his feet facing the Qibla (direction of prayer), and this is permitted and acceptable if he is unable to pray on his side. And with Allah is all success."  

قَالَ يُصَلِّي الْمَرِيضُ مُسْتَلْقِيًا عَلَى قَفَاهُ تَلِي قَدَمَاهُ الْقِبْلَةَ وَهَذَا مَوْقُوفٌ وَهُوَ مَحْمُولٌ عَلَى مَا لَوْ عَجَزَ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى جَنْبِهِ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ  

[Machine] Imran ibn Husain asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about praying while sitting, and he ﷺ said, "Whoever prays while standing, it is better for him. And whoever prays while sitting, he will have half the reward of the one who prays while standing. And whoever prays while lying down, he will have half the reward of the one who prays while sitting."  

عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْقَاعِدِ فَقَالَ ﷺ مَنْ صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ وَمَنْ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَلَهُ نِصْفُ أَجْرِ الْقَائِمِ وَمَنْ صَلَّى نَائِمًا فَلَهُ نِصْفُ أَجْرِ الْقَاعِدِ  

I heard Anas saying, "A man from Ansar said to the Prophet, 'I cannot pray with you (in congregation).' He was a very fat man and he prepared a meal for the Prophet ﷺ and invited him to his house. He spread out a mat for the Prophet, and washed one of its sides with water, and the Prophet ﷺ prayed two rakʿat on it." A man from the family of Al-Jaruid [??] asked, "Did the Prophet ﷺ used to pray the Duha (forenoon) prayer?" Anas said, "I did not see him praying the Duha prayer except on that day." (Using translation from Bukhārī 670)   

رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنِّي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَكَ قَالَ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا ضَخْمًا فَصَنَعَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ طَعَامًا فَدَعَاهُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ وَبَسَطَ لَهُ حَصِيرًا وَنَضَحَ طَرَفَ الْحَصِيرِ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ آلِ الْجَارُودِ وَلِأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الضُّحَى؟ فَقَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُهُ صَلَّاهَا إِلَّا يَوْمَئِذٍ  

when the prophet ﷺ prayed sitting, he recited the Quran in sitting condition. When the amount of his recitation remained about thirty or forty verses he stood up and recited them standing. He then bowed and prostrated and then did so in the second Rak’ah of the prayer. Abu Dawud said: 'Alqamah b. Waqqas narrated this tradition on the authority of 'Aishah from the Prophet ﷺ to the same effect. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 954)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي جَالِسًا فَيَقْرَأُ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فَإِذَا بَقِيَ مِنْ قِرَاءَتِهِ قَدْرَ مَا يَكُونُ ثَلَاثِينَ أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ آيَةً قَامَ فَقَرَأَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ ثُمَّ يَفْعَلُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] To be cured from it, he was told to stay for a certain number of days, during which he should only pray while lying down, which he disliked.  

أَنْ يُعَالَجَ مِنْهُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ تَمْكُثُ كَذَا وَكَذَا يَوْمًا لَا تُصَلِّي إِلَّا مُضْطَجِعًا فَكَرِهَهُ  

[Machine] That he would take it out of his eyes. It was said to him, "Indeed, you will rest for seven days, praying only while lying down." He disliked that and said, "It has reached me that whoever leaves prayer while able to pray, will meet Allah while angry with him."  

أَنْ يُخْرِجَهُ مِنْ عَيْنَيْهِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّكَ تَسْتَلْقِي سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ لَا تُصَلِّي إِلَّا مُسْتَلْقِيًا قَالَ فَكَرِهَ ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ إِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُ مَنْ تَرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ وَهُوَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ لَقِيَ اللهَ تَعَالَى وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ  

[Machine] Did you see if the deadline was before that?  

أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ الْأَجَلُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ  

I prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night and he started reciting al-Baqara. I thought that he would bow at the end of one hundred verses, but he proceeded on; I then thought that he would perhaps recite the whole (surah) in a rak'ah, but he proceeded and I thought he would perhaps bow on completing (this surah). He then started al-Nisa', and recited it; he then started Al-i-'Imran and recited leisurely. And when he recited the verses which referred to the Glory of Allah, he glorified (by saying Subhan Allah-Glory to my Lord the Great), and when he recited the verses which tell (how the Lord) is to be begged, he (the Holy Prophet) would then beg (from Him), and when he recited the verses dealing with protection from the Lord, he sought (His) protection and would then bow and say: Glory be to my Mighty Lord; his bowing lasted about the same length of time as his standing (and then on returning to the standing posture after ruku') he would say: Allah listened to him who praised Him, and he would then stand about the same length of time as he had spent in bowing. He would then prostrate himself and say: Glory be to my Lord most High, and his prostration lasted nearly the same length of time as his standing. In the hadith transmitted by Jarir the words are:" He (the Holy Prophet) would say:" Allah listened to him who praised Him, our Lord, to Thee i the praise." (Using translation from Muslim 772)   

صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَافْتَتَحَ الْبَقَرَةَ فَقُلْتُ يُصَلِّي بِهَا فِي رَكْعَةٍ ثُمَّ مَضَى فَقُلْتُ يَرْكَعُ بِهَا ثُمَّ افْتَتَحَ النِّسَاءَ فَقَرَأَهَا ثُمَّ افْتَتَحَ آلَ عِمْرَانَ فَقَرَأَهَا يَقْرَأُ مُتَرَسِّلًا إِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا تَسْبِيحٌ سَبَّحَ وَإِذَا مَرَّ بِسُؤَالٍ سَأَلَ وَإِذَا مَرَّ بِتَعَوُّذٍ تَعَوَّذَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمُ فَكَانَ رُكُوعُهُ نَحْوًا مِنْ قِيَامِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ قَرِيبًا مِمَّا رَكَعَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى فَكَانَ سُجُودُهُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ قِيَامِهِ  

Hudhaifah said that he prayed along with the Prophet ﷺ, and that he said when bowing, “Glory be to my mighty Lord, “ and when he prostrated himself, “Glory be to my most high Lord," when he came to a verse which spoke of mercy, he stopped and made supplication, and when he came to a verse which spoke of punishment, he stopped and sought refuge in Allah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 871)   

قُلْتُ لِسُلَيْمَانَ يَعْنِي الْأَعْمَشَ أَدْعُو فِي الصَّلَاةِ إِذَا مَرَرْتُ بِآيَةِ تَخَوُّفٍ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ مُسْتَوْرِدٍ عَنْ صِلَةَ بْنِ زُفَرَ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ وَفِي سُجُودِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي الْأَعْلَى وَمَا مَرَّ بِآيَةِ رَحْمَةٍ إِلَّا وَقَفَ عِنْدَهَا فَسَأَلَ وَلَا بِآيَةِ عَذَابٍ إِلَّا وَقَفَ عِنْدَهَا فَتَعَوَّذَ  

[Machine] to Aishah, the Prophet's wife, "Indeed, there are men who would recite the Quran two or three times in one night." She said, "Those people have recited, but I used to stay up with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in complete darkness, and he would recite Surah Al-Baqarah, Surah Al-Imran, and Surah An-Nisa. When he would come across a verse that mentions glad tidings, he would supplicate and show delight. And when he would come across a verse that mentions threats or warnings, he would supplicate and seek refuge."  

لِعَائِشَةَ ؓ إِنَّ رِجَالًا يَقْرَأُ أَحَدُهُمُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَتْ أُولَئِكَ قَرَءُوا وَلَمْ يَقْرَءُوا كُنْتُ أَقُومُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي اللَّيْلِ التَّامِّ فَيَقْرَأُ بِالْبَقَرَةِ وَآلِ عِمْرَانَ وَالنِّسَاءِ فَإِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا اسْتِبْشَارٌ دَعَا وَرَغِبَ وَإِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا تَخْوِيفٌ دَعَا وَاسْتَعَاذَ  

I stood up to pray along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; he got up and recited Surat al-Baqarah (Surah 2). When he came to a verse which spoke of mercy, he stopped and made supplication, and when he came to verse which spoke of punishment, he stopped and sought refuge in Allah, then he bowed and paused as long as he stood (reciting Surah al-Baqarah), and said while bowing, "Glory be to the Possessor of greatness, the Kingdom, grandeur and majesty." :Then he prostrated himself and paused as long as he stood up and recited Surat Aal Imran (Surah 3) and then recited many surahs one after another. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 873)   

قُمْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةً فَقَامَ فَقَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ لَا يَمُرُّ بِآيَةِ رَحْمَةٍ إِلَّا وَقَفَ فَسَأَلَ وَلَا يَمُرُّ بِآيَةِ عَذَابٍ إِلَّا وَقَفَ فَتَعَوَّذَ قَالَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ بِقَدْرِ قِيَامِهِ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْجَبَرُوتِ وَالْمَلَكُوتِ وَالْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَالْعَظَمَةِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ بِقَدْرِ قِيَامِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي سُجُودِهِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَقَرَأَ بِآلِ عِمْرَانَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ سُورَةً سُورَةً  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray voluntary prayers, and I heard him saying, "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the Hellfire, woe to the people of the Hellfire."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي تَطَوُّعًا فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَيْلٌ لِأَهْلِ النَّارِ  

[Machine] "That the Prophet (Peace be upon him) when he recited {Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High} (Quran 87:1), he said: Glory be to my Lord, the Most High."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا قَرَأَ {سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى} [الأعلى 1] قَالَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ خُولِفَ وَكِيعٌ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ  

A man used to pray on the roof of his house. When he recited the verse “Is not He able to bring the dead to life?” [Surah al-Qiyamah:42] he would say: ”Glory be to You, then, why not?” They asked him about it, and he replied: "I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ". Abu Dawud said : Ahmad (b. Hanbal) said: It is pleasing to me that one should recite in the obligatory prayer those supplications which have occurred in the Quran. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 884)   

كَانَ رَجُلٌ يُصَلِّي فَوْقَ بَيْتِهِ فَكَانَ إِذَا قَرَأَ {أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَنْ يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى} [القيامة 40] قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ فَبَلَى فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When one of you recites "By the fig and the olive" (Surah 95) and comes to its end "Is not Allah the best judge?" (verse 8), he should say: "Certainly, and I am one of those who testify to that." When one recites "I swear by the Day of Resurrection" (Surah 75) and comes to "Is not that one able to raise the dead to life? (verse 40), he should say: "Certainly." And when one recites "By those that are sent" (Surah 77), and comes to "Then in what message after that will they believe? " (Surah 50), he should say: "We believe in Allah." The narrator Isma'il (ibn Umayyah) said: I beg to repeat (this tradition) before the Bedouin (who reported this tradition) so that I might see whether he (was mistaken). He said: My nephew, do you think that I did not remember it? I performed sixty hajj (pilgrimages); there is no hajj but I recognize the came on which I performed it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 887)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ قَرَأَ مِنْكُمْ بِالتِّينِ وَالزَّيْتُونِ فَانْتَهَى إِلَى آخِرِهَا {أَلَيْسَ اللهُ بِأَحْكَمِ الْحَاكِمِينَ} [التين 8] فَلْيَقُلْ وَأَنَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ وَمَنْ قَرَأَ {لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ} [القيامة 1] فَانْتَهَى إِلَى {أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَنْ يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى} [القيامة 40] فَلْيَقُلْ بَلَى وَمَنْ قَرَأَ وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ فَبَلَغَ {فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ} [المرسلات 50] فَلْيَقُلْ آمَنَّا بِاللهِ قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ ذَهَبْتُ أُعِيدُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ وَأَنْظُرُ لَعَلَّهُ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي أَتَظُنُّ أَنِّي لَمْ أَحْفَظْهُ لَقَدْ حَجَجْتُ سِتِّينَ حَجَّةً مَا مِنْهَا حَجَّةٌ إِلَّا وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُ الْبَعِيرَ الَّذِي حَجَجْتُ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] I heard Abu Musa reciting on Friday, "Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High." He then said, "Glory be to my Lord, the Most High. Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you?"  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُوسَى يَقْرَأُ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ بِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى وَهَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ  

[Machine] Rather, it is you, O Lord, three times. Then he recited: "Have you seen what you sow? Is it you who cause it to grow, or are We the cause?" [Al-Waqi'ah 63]. He said: Rather, it is you, O Lord, three times. Then he recited: "Have you seen the water that you drink? Do you bring it down from the clouds or are We the bringers?" [Al-Waqi'ah 68]. He said: Rather, it is you, O Lord, three times. Then he recited: "Have you seen the fire that you ignite? Is it you who produced its tree or are We the producers?" He said: Rather, it is you, O Lord, three times.  

بَلْ أَنْتَ يَا رَبِّ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ مَا تَحْرُثُونَ أَأَنْتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الزَّارِعُونَ} [الواقعة 63] قَالَ بَلْ أَنْتَ يَا رَبِّ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ الْمَاءَ الَّذِي تَشْرَبُونَ أَأَنْتُمْ أَنْزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنْزِلُونَ} [الواقعة 68] قَالَ بَلْ أَنْتَ يَا رَبِّ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ النَّارَ الَّتِي تُورُونَ أَأَنْتُمْ أَنْشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَا أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنْشِئُونَ} قَالَ بَلْ أَنْتَ يَا رَبِّ ثَلَاثًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray his prayer at night while I was lying between him and the Qibla, like a deceased person in a funeral.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي صَلَاتَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَأَنَا مُعْتَرِضَةٌ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ كَاعْتِرَاضِ الْجِنَازَةِ  

The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before me. They said, "Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman (if they pass in front of the praying people)." I said, "You have made us (i.e. women) dogs. I saw the Prophet ﷺ praying while I used to lie in my bed between him and the Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I would slip away. for I disliked to face him." (Using translation from Bukhārī 511)   

عِنْدَهَا مَا يَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ فَقَالُوا يَقْطَعُهَا الْكَلْبُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ قَدْ جَعَلْتُمُونَا كِلَابًا لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي وَإِنِّي لَبَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ وَأَنَا مُضْطَجِعَةٌ عَلَى السَّرِيرِ فَيَكُونُ لِيَ الْحَاجَةُ فَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَسْتَقْبِلَهُ فَأَنْسَلُّ انْسِلَالًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray while carrying Umama, the daughter of Zainab, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and for Abu Al-As ibn Rabia ibn Abdul Shams. When he prostrated, he would put her down, and when he stood up, he would carry her again.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ حَامِلٌ أُمَامَةَ بِنْتَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلِأَبِي الْعَاصِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ فَإِذَا سَجَدَ وَضَعَهَا وَإِذَا قَامَ حَمَلَهَا  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , that he used to recite the Quran and when he reached a verse with a prostration, he would prostrate and we would prostrate with him until some of us could not find a place on their foreheads for prostration. This is reported in the hadith of Abu Khaythamah. And in another narration, he would recite the Quran to us and they both said, "until none of us could find a place on their foreheads."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ فَيَقْرَأُ السُّورَةَ فِيهَا سَجْدَةٌ فَيَسْجُدُ وَنَسْجُدُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى مَا يَجِدُ بَعْضُنَا مَوْضِعًا لِمَكَانِ جَبْهَتِهِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي خَيْثَمَةَ وَفِي حَدِيثِ الْآخَرَيْنِ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْنَا الْقُرْآنَ وَقَالَا حَتَّى لَا يَجِدُ أَحَدُنَا مَوْضِعًا لِجَبِينِهِ  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘When a son of Adam recites a Sajdah* and prostrates, Satan withdraws weeping, saying: ‘Woe is me! The son of Adam was commanded to prostrate and he prostrated, and Paradise will be his; I was commanded to prostrate and I refused, so I am doomed to Hell.’” * An Ayah indicating prostration. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1052)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَرَأَ ابْنُ آدَمَ السَّجْدَةَ فَسَجَدَ اعْتَزَلَ الشَّيْطَانُ يَبْكِي يَقُولُ يَا وَيْلَهُ أُمِرَ ابْنُ آدَمَ بِالسُّجُودِ فَسَجَدَ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَأُمِرْتُ بِالسُّجُودِ فَأَبَيْتُ فَلِيَ النَّارُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not prostrate in anything specific after the migration to Medina, and its meaning.  

لَمْ يَسْجُدْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنَ الْمُفَصَّلِ بَعْدَ مَا تَحَوَّلَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَبِمَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ recited Surah An-Najm and the Muslims, polytheists, jinn, and humans all prostrated with him.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَرَأَ بِالنَّجْمِ فَسَجَدَ مَعَهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ وَالْجِنُّ وَالْإِنْسُ  

[Machine] I read with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the star, and he did not prostrate during it.  

قَرَأْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَالنَّجْمِ فَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ فِيهَا  

“I performed eleven prostrations with the Prophet ﷺ of which there were none in the Mufassal. Al-A’raf, Ar-Ra’d, An-Nahl, Bani Isra’il, Maryam, Al-Hajj, the prostration in Al-Furqan, Surat An-Naml (mentioning) Sulaiman, As- Sajdah, Sad, and the Ha-Mim Surah.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1056)   

سَجَدْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ سَجْدَةً لَيْسَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْمُفَصَّلِ شَيْءٌ الْأَعْرَافَ وَالرَّعْدَ وَالنَّحْلَ وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمَرْيَمَ وَالْحَجَّ سَجْدَةً وَالْفُرْقَانَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ بِسُورَةِ النَّمْلِ وَالسَّجْدَةَ وَص وَسَجْدَةَ الْحَوَامِيمِ كَذَا رُوِيَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ  

[Machine] He (referring to someone) prostrated with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ eleven prostrations, among them is the prostration of Al-Najm (The Star). Sufyan ibn Waqee' narrated it from Ibn Wahb, from Amr, from Sa'id, from Amr Al-Dimashqi, from Umm Al-Darda', from Abu Al-Darda'. And Layth ibn Sa'd narrated it from Khalid ibn Yazid, from Sa'id ibn Abi Hilal, from Amr, and he is the son of Hayyan Al-Dimashqi, who said: I heard a narrator reporting from Umm Al-Darda', from Abu Al-Darda'.  

أَنَّهُ سَجَدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ سَجْدَةً مِنْهُنَّ النَّجْمُ وَرَوَاهُ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَمْرٍو الدِّمِشْقِيِّ عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ وَرَوَاهُ اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِلَالٍ عَنْ عَمْرٍو وَهُوَ ابْنُ حَيَّانَ الدِّمِشْقِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُخْبِرًا يُخْبِرُ عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ  

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ , he performed eleven prostrations and its chain of narration is authentic. The sheikh said, and it was narrated to us from Abu Darda that he prostrated twice during the Hajj.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ سَجْدَةً وَإِسْنَادُهُ وَاهٍ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَرُوِّينَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ أَنَّهُ سَجَدَ فِي الْحَجِّ سَجْدَتَيْنِ  

[Machine] Abdullah, son of Mas'ud, said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the believers, and the polytheists all prostrated before the star and we did not prostrate afterward.  

قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ سَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ فِي النَّجْمِ فَلَمْ نَزَلْ نَسْجُدُ بَعْدُ  

The Prophet ﷺ taught me fifteen prostrations while reciting the Qur'an, including three in al-Mufassal and two in Surah al-Hajj. Abu Dawud said: Abu al-Darda' has reported eleven prostrations from the Prophet ﷺ, but chain of this tradition is weak. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1401)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَقْرَأَهُ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَجْدَةً فِي الْقُرْآنِ مِنْهَا ثَلَاثٌ فِي الْمُفَصَّلِ وَسُورَةُ الْحَجِّ سَجْدَتَيْنِ  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ that he recited Surah An-Najm and then prostrated, and everyone from the people prostrated except for one man who lifted a handful of pebbles and placed it on his forehead, saying, "This is sufficient for me." Abdullah (the narrator) said, "I saw him after that, and he was killed as a disbeliever."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ النَّجْمِ فَسَجَدَ وَمَا بَقِيَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ إِلَّا سَجَدَ إِلَّا رَجُلًا رَفَعَ كَفًّا مِنْ حَصْبَاءَ فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ وَقَالَ يَكْفِينِي هَذَا قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قُتِلَ كَافِرًا  

[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ prostrated in it, meaning in the valley (of Mecca), and the Muslims and the polytheists and the jinn and the humans prostrated in it."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَجَدَ فِيهَا يَعْنِي وَالنَّجْمِ وَسَجَدَ فِيهَا الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ وَالْجِنُّ وَالْإِنْسُ  

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prostrating in front of the star, and the people prostrated with him. Al-Muttalib said, "I did not prostrate that day. He was a disbeliever on that day." Al-Muttalib said, "So I will never leave prostration in it (the star) ever."  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سَجَدَ فِي النَّجْمِ وَسَجَدَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ قَالَ الْمُطَّلِبُ وَلَمْ أَسْجُدْ هُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ كَافِرٌ قَالَ الْمُطَّلِبُ فَلَا أَدَعُ السُّجُودَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا  

His father said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited Surat An-Najm in Makkah and prostrated, and those who were with him prostrated. I raised my head and refused to prostrate." At that time Al-Muttalib had not yet accepted Islam. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 958)   

قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَكَّةَ سُورَةَ النَّجْمِ فَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي وَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ أَسْجُدَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ أَسْلَمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمُطَّلِبُ فَكَانَ بَعْدُ لَا يَسْمَعُ أَحَدًا قَرَأَهَا إِلَّا سَجَدَ
