[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the mosque and saw a rope extended between two posts. He asked, "What is this rope?" They replied, "It belongs to so-and-so. When she prays, she holds onto it. If she feels weak or tired during prayer, she holds onto it for support." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Let her pray without holding onto it. What has happened to her mind? If she feels afraid of being weakened, she should sleep."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَرَأَى حَبْلًا مَمْدُودًا بَيْنَ سَارِيَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا الْحَبْلُ؟ قَالُوا لِفُلَانَةَ تُصَلِّي فَإِذَا غُلِبَتْ تَعَلَّقَتْ بِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِتُصَلِّي مَا عَقِلَتْ فَإِذَا خَشِيَتْ أَنْ تُغْلَبَ فَلْتَنَمْ
