2. Book of Ṣalāh
٢۔ كِتَابُ الصَّلَاةِ
[Machine] "Rasul Allah ﷺ saw me while I was in prostration, and I had braided my hair or tied it up, so I released it."
رَآنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا سَاجِدٌ وَقَدْ عَقَصْتُ شَعْرِي أَوْ قَالَ عَقَدْتُ «فَأَطْلَقَهُ»
Kurayb the freed slave of Ibn Abbas reported: Abdullah ibn Abbas saw Abdullah ibn al-Harith praying having the back knot of the hair. He stood behind him and began to untie it. He remained standing unmoved (stationary). When he finished his prayer he came to Ibn Abbas and said to him: What were you doing with my head? He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: A man who prays with the black knot of hair tied is the one praying pinioned. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 647)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ هَذَا كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ مَكْتُوفٌ»
