8. Ṣalāh (Ritual Prayer)
٨۔ كتاب الصلاة
Once I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ at the door of my house while some Ethiopians were playing in the mosque (displaying their skill with spears). Messenger of Allah ﷺ was screening me with his Rida' so as to enable me to see their display. (ʿUrwa said that ʿAisha said, "I saw the Prophet ﷺ and the Ethiopians were playing with their spears.")
لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا عَلَى باب حُجْرَتِي وَالْحَبَشَةُ يَلْعَبُونَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَسْتُرُنِي بِرِدَائِهِ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى لَعِبِهِمْ زَادَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَالْحَبَشَةُ يَلْعَبُونَ بِحِرَابِهِمْ
