[Machine] Jabir and Abu Sa'id stood on the ship and prayed. Al-Hasan said, "You should pray standing unless it is difficult for your companions; then you may pray sitting."

وَصَلَّى جَابِرٌ وَأَبُو سَعِيدٍ فِي السَّفِينَةِ قَائِمًا. وَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ تُصَلِّي قَائِمًا مَا لَمْ تَشُقَّ عَلَى أَصْحَابِكَ، تَدُورُ مَعَهَا وَإِلاَّ فَقَاعِدًا.

Anas bin Malik said, "My grandmother Mulaika invited Messenger of Allah ﷺ for a meal which she herself had prepared. He ate from it and said, 'Get up! I will lead you in the prayer.' " Anas added, "I took my Hasir, washed it with water as it had become dark because of long use and Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood on it. The orphan (Damira or Ruh) and I aligned behind him and the old lady (Mulaika) stood behind us. Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the prayer and offered two rakʿat and then left."
