8. Ṣalāh (Ritual Prayer)

٨۔ كتاب الصلاة

8.45 If someone enters a house, should he offer prayers where he likes, or as he is told? And he should not look out to seek information about the place or do spying

٨۔٤٥ باب إِذَا دَخَلَ بَيْتًا يُصَلِّي حَيْثُ شَاءَ، أَوْ حَيْثُ أُمِرَ، وَلاَ يَتَجَسَّسُ

The Prophet ﷺ came to my house and said, "Where do you like me to pray?" I pointed to a place. The Prophet then said, "Allahu Akbar", and we aligned behind him and he offered a two-rakʿat prayer.  

البخاري:٤٢٤حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ عَنْ عِتْبَانَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَتَاهُ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ لَكَ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ قَالَ فَأَشَرْتُ لَهُ إِلَى مَكَانٍ فَكَبَّرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَصَفَفْنَا خَلْفَهُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ
