[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah, the Exalted, descends to the lowest heaven every night in the last third of the night. He says, 'Who will call upon Me, so that I may answer him? Who will ask of Me, so that I may give him? Who will seek My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?' This continues until dawn or the person offering the Fajr prayer leaves."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْزِلُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ لِنِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرِ أَوْ لِثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرِ فَيَقُولُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ؟ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ أَوْ يَنْصَرِفَ الْقَارِئُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Our Lord who is blessed and exalted descends every night to the lowest heaven when the last one-third of the night remains, and says: Who supplicated Me so that I may answer him ? Who asks of Me so that I may give to him ? Who asks My forgiveness so that I may forgive him ? (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1315)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَنْزِلُ رَبُّنَا تَبَارَكَ اسْمُهُ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ حِينَ يَبْقَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ مَنْ يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ؟ مَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ؟ مَنْ يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ؟ حَتَّى الْفَجْرِ  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "Allah, the Most High, descends to the lower heaven every night and asks, 'Is there anyone who asks so that I may give to them? Is there anyone who seeks forgiveness so that I may forgive them?'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَنْزِلُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ فَأُعْطِيَهُ؟ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ؟  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "When half or two-thirds of the night passes, Allah descends to the lowest heaven and says, 'Is there anyone who asks of Me so that I may grant them? Is there anyone who seeks My forgiveness so that I may forgive them? Is there anyone who supplicates to Me so that I may answer them?' This continues until dawn breaks."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا مَضَى مِنَ اللَّيْلِ نِصْفُهُ أَوْ ثُلُثَاهُ هَبَطَ اللَّهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْ عِبَادِي غَيْرِي مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ؟ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ  

[Machine] He informed him that the Prophet ﷺ said something like it.  

أَخْبَرَهُ إنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِنَحْوِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When it is one-third or half of the night, then remember the descent."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا كَانَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ نِصْفُ اللَّيْلِ فَذَكَرَ النُّزُولَ»  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Were it not that it would be too difficult for my ummah, I would have commanded them to use the siwak every time of prayer, and I would have delayed Ishaʿ until the first third of the night had passed, because when the first third of the night has passed. Allah may he be exalted descends to the first heaven and stays there until dawn comes, and says: Is there any asking so that he might be given? Is there anyone praying so that he might be answered? Is there any sick person asking for healing so that he might be healed? Is there any sinner asking for forgiveness, so that he might be forgiven? A hadeeth like that of Abu Hurairah was narrated from ʿAli bin Abi Talib ؓ from the Prophet ﷺ Abi Talib. (Using translation from Aḥmad 967)  

اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَلَأَخَّرْتُ الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا مَضَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الْأَوَّلُ هَبَطَ اللَّهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَلَمْ يَزَلْ هُنَالِكَ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ يَقُولُ قَائِلٌ أَلَا سَائِلٌ يُعْطَى؟ أَلَا دَاعٍ يُجَابُ؟ أَلَا سَقِيمٌ يَسْتَشْفِي فَيُشْفَى؟ أَلَا مُذْنِبٌ مُسْتَغْفِرُ فَيُغْفَرَ لَهُ؟ َ  

[Machine] Narrated by Ubaidullah bin Abu Raafi', the servant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , from his father, from Ali ibn Abi Talib, from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , similar to the tradition of Abu Hurairah.  

عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَة  

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up for praying at midnight, he said: o Allah, be praise to Thee, Thou art the light of the heavens and the earth; and to Thee be praise; Thou are the maintainer of the heavens and the earth; and to Thee be praise, Thou art the heavens and the earth and what is between them; Thou art the truth, and Thy statement is truth; and Thy promise is the truth; and the visitation with Thee is true; and the Paradise is true and the Hell-fire is true and the Hour is true; O Allah, to Thee I turned my attention, and by Thee I disputed, and to Thee I brought forth my case, so forgive me my former and latter sins, and my secret and open sins, Thou art my deity, there is no deity but Thou. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 771)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ يَتَهَجَّدُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ، أَنْتَ نُورُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ قَيِّومُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ مَلِكُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ، أَنْتَ الْحَقُّ وَقَوْلُكَ الْحَقُّ وَوَعْدُكَ الْحَقُّ وَلِقَاؤُكَ الحَقُّ، وَالْجَنَّةُ حَقٌّ، وَالْجَنَّةُ حَقٌّ، وَالنَّارُ حَقٌّ، وَالْبَعْثُ حَقٌّ، وَالنَّبِيُّونَ حَقٌّ، وَمُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ حَقٌّ۔ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ، وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ، وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْتُ، وَبِكَ خَاصَمْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ حَاكَمْتُ۔ فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ، وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ۔ أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ وَأَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِكَ۔»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ that he said, "Whoever recites the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah in one night, it is sufficient for him."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «مَنْ قَرَأَ الْآيَتَيْنِ الْآخِرَتَيْنِ مِنْ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ كَفَتَاهُ»  

Allah has not heard anything (more pleasing) than listening to the Prophet reciting the Qur'an in a sweet loud voice. (Using translation from Muslim 793b)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا أَذِنَ اللَّهُ لِشَيْءٍ كَإِذْنِهِ لِنَبِيٍّ يَتَغَنَّى بِالْقُرْآنِ يَجْهَرُ بِهِ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard the recitation of Abu Musa and said: 'This man has been given a Mizmar among the Mazamir of the family of Dawud, peace be upon him.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1020)   

سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَبَا مُوسَى وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ فَقَالَ «لَقَدْ أُوتِيَ هَذَا مِنْ مَزَامِيرِ آلِ دَاوُدَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "He is not one of us who does not find delight in the Quran."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَتَغَنَّ بِالْقُرْآنِ»  

[Machine] "From the Prophet, peace be upon him, he said: 'Allah has not granted permission for something that He has granted permission to a prophet to indulge in reciting the Qur'an.' Abu Muhammad said: 'He intends to be self-sufficient through it.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا أَذِنَ اللَّهُ لِشَيْءٍ مَا أَذِنَ لِنَبِيٍّ يَتَغَنَّى بِالْقُرْآنِ» قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد «يُرِيدُ بِهِ الِاسْتِغْنَاءَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by me and said, "Did not Allah say: 'O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you' [Quran 8:24]?" Then he said, "Shall I not teach you a Surah that is the greatest Surah in the Quran before I leave the mosque?" When he wanted to leave, he said, "All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds" and it is the seven oft-repeated verses and the Great Quran that you have been given.  

مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَلَمْ يَقُلِ اللَّهُ» {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ} [الأنفال 24] ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ سُورَةً أَعْظَمَ سُورَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ؟» فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَهِيَ السَّبْعُ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنُ الْعَظِيمُ الَّذِي أُوتِيتُمْ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: He who recites the Qur'an in a period less than three days does not understand it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1394)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَفْقَهُ مَنْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ فِي أَقَلَّ مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When the call for prayer is made, Satan takes to his heels passing wind so that he may not hear the Adhan and when the call is finished he comes back, and when the Iqama is pronounced, Satan again takes to his heels, and when the Iqama is finished he comes back again and tries to interfere with the person and his thoughts and say, "Remember this and that (which he has not thought of before the prayer)", till the praying person forgets how much he has prayed. If anyone of you does not remember whether he has offered three or four rakʿat then he should perform two prostrations of Sahu while sitting. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1231)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا نُودِيَ بِالْأَذَانِ أَدْبَرَ الشَّيْطَانُ لَهُ ضُرَاطٌ حَتَّى لَا يَسْمَعَ الْأَذَانَ فَإِذَا قُضِيَ الْأَذَانُ أَقْبَلَ فَإِذَا ثُوِّبَ أَدْبَرَ وَإِذَا قُضِيَ التَّثْوِيبُ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى يَخْطِرَ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَنَفْسِهِ فَيَقُولُ اذْكُرْ كَذَا اذْكُرْ كَذَا لِمَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَذْكُرُ حَتَّى يَظَلَّ الرَّجُلُ إِنْ يَدْرِي كَمْ صَلَّى فَإِذَا لَمْ يَدْرِ أَحَدُكُمْ كَمْ صَلَّى ثَلَاثًا أَمْ أَرْبَعًا فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: "If one of you does not know whether he prayed three or four (rak'ahs), let him pray a rak'ah then prostrate twice after that when he is sitting. Then if he prayed five (rak'ahs), they (the two prostrations) will make his prayer even-numbered, and if he had prayed four, they will annoy and humiliate the shaitan." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1239)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا لَمْ يَدْرِ أَحَدُكُمْ أَثَلَاثًا صَلَّى أَمْ أَرْبَعًا فَلْيَقُمْ فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ لِيَسْجُدْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ فَإِنْ كَانَ صَلَّى خَمْسًا شَفَعَتَا لَهُ صَلَاتَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ صَلَّى أَرْبَعًا كَانَتَا تَرْغِيمًا لِلشَّيْطَانِ» قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد «آخُذُ بِهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed one of the evening prayers, then he performed two additional units of prayer, and then he said the salaam and stood on a wooden platform inside the mosque. He placed his hand on it, and said, "Yazeed and Ibn Awun showed us this." He placed one hand on the other, with the upper hand on the lower one and entered his upper fingers into the lower fingers, pressing them together, and he stood as if he was angry. Immediately, some people left and began saying, "The prayer has been shortened, the prayer has been shortened." Among the people were Abu Bakr and Umar, but they did not speak. Among the people, there was a tall man with long arms named Dhu al-Yadayn (the one with two hands), who said, "O Messenger of Allah, did you forget the prayer or was it shortened?" He ﷺ said, "I did not forget, nor was the prayer shortened." He said, "Is it like that?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Then he returned and completed what remained, then said the salaam and pronounced the takbeer. He prostrated for a long time, then raised his head and pronounced the takbeer, and prostrated again as he did the first time, then raised his head and left."  

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِحْدَى صَلَاتَيِ الْعَشِيِّ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَقَامَ إِلَى خَشَبَةٍ مُعْتَرِضَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ يَزِيدُ وَأَرَانَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ وَوَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْأُخْرَى وَأَدْخَلَ أَصَابِعَهُ الْعُلْيَا فِي السُّفْلَى وَاضِعًا وَقَامَ كَأَنَّهُ غَضْبَانُ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ السَّرَعَانُ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَجَعَلُوا يَقُولُونَ قُصِرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ قُصِرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَفِي الْقَوْمِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمَا وَفِي الْقَوْمِ رَجُلٌ طَوِيلُ الْيَدَيْنِ يُسَمَّى ذُا الْيَدَيْنِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَسِيتَ الصَّلَاةَ أَمْ قُصِرَتْ؟ فَقَالَ «مَا نَسِيتُ وَلَا قُصِرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ» فَقَالَ «أَوَ كَذَلِكَ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ فَأَتَمَّ مَا بَقِيَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَكَبَّرَ فَسَجَدَ طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَكَبَّرَ وَسَجَدَ مِثْلَ مَا سَجَدَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَانْصَرَفَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the Dhuhr or Asr prayer, and then he performed the tasleem after two units of one of them. Zul-Shimalayn ibn 'Abd Amr ibn Nadlah al-Khuzai, who was an ally of the Banu Zuhrah and shorter than others, said to him, "Did you shorten the prayer, O Messenger of Allah?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "I did not forget nor did I shorten." Then Zul-Shimalayn said, "Some of us saw you doing so, O Messenger of Allah." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned to the people and said, "Who do you believe, the one with two hands?" They replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and completed the prayer, and no one among them informed me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed two prostrations while sitting in that prayer. And this is what is witnessed, and Allah knows best, as people were content with the certainty of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until they were certain.  

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الظُّهْرِ أَوِ الْعَصْرِ فَسَلَّمَ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ إِحْدَاهُمَا فَقَالَ لَهُ ذُو الشِّمَالَيْنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نَضْلَةَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ وَهُوَ حَلِيفُ بَنِي زُهْرَةَ أَقُصِرَتْ أَمْ نَسِيتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَمْ أَنْسَ وَلَمْ تُقْصَرْ» فَقَالَ ذُو الشِّمَالَيْنِ قَدْ كَانَ بَعْضُ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ «أَصَدَقَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَتَمَّ الصَّلَاةَ وَلَمْ يُحَدِّثْنِي أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي تِلْكَ الصَّلَاةِ وَذَلِكَ فِيمَا يُرَى وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ النَّاسَ يَقَّنُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى اسْتَيْقَنَ  

[Machine] From the Prophet of Allah ﷺ , it is narrated that he prayed five units of the Dhuhr prayer. When asked about it, he performed two additional prostrations.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ اللَّهُ ﷺ «أَنَّهُ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ خَمْسًا فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer praying two rak'ahs. When he stood up and did not sit (at the end of two rak'ahs) the people stood up along with him. When he finished the prayer and we expect him to give the salutation, he said: "Allah is most great." While sitting and made two prostrations before giving the salutation. Then he gave it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1034)   

«صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَامَ وَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ وَقَامَ النَّاسُ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ نَظَرْنَا تَسْلِيمَهُ فَكَبَّرَ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ»  

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up from the two units of the Dhuhr or Asr prayer and did not return until he finished his prayer, then he performed the two prostrations of forgetfulness, then he made the salaam."  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ مِنَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ أَوِ الْعَصْرِ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ الْوَهْمِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ»  

"Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah les us in Salat. When he prayed two Rak'ah he stood without sitting. Those who were behind him said 'Subhan Allah' and he indicated to them that they should stand. He said the Taslim when he had finished his Salat and he performed two prostrations of As-Sahw, and said the Taslim. He said that Messenger of Allah did this." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 365)  

أَنْ قُومُوا فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ سَلَّمَ وَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ «هَكَذَا صَنَعَ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ»  

[Machine] While I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in prayer, a man from the people sneezed, so I said, "May Allah have mercy on you." The people stared at me with their eyes, so I said, "May you be struck and blinded! Why are you looking at me?" They struck their thighs with their hands, and when I saw them silent, I said, "Why are you silencing me? But I remained silent." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished, I swear by my father and mother that I have never seen a better teacher before or after him. By Allah, he did not hit, scold, or insult me, but he said, "Our prayer does not allow anything of the people's talk in it, it is only for glorification (of Allah), Takbeer (Allah is the Greatest), and recitation of the Quran."  

بَيْنَا أَنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الصَّلَاةِ إِذْ عَطَسَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَقُلْتُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ قَالَ فَحَدَّقَنِي الْقَوْمُ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ فَقُلْتُ وَا ثُكْلَاهُ مَا لَكُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ؟ قَالَ فَضَرَبَ الْقَوْمُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ عَلَى أَفْخَاذِهِمْ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُمْ يُسْكِتُونَنِي قُلْتُ مَا لَكُمْ تُسْكِتُونَنِي؟ لَكِنِّي سَكَتُّ قَالَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَبِأَبِي هُوَ وَأُمِّي مَا رَأَيْتُ مُعَلِّمًا قَبْلَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ أَحْسَنَ تَعْلِيمًا مِنْهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا ضَرَبَنِي وَلَا كَهَرَنِي وَلَا سَبَّنِي وَلَكِنْ قَالَ «إِنَّ صَلَاتَنَا هَذِهِ لَا يَصْلُحُ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ مِنْ كَلَامِ النَّاسِ إِنَّمَا هِيَ التَّسْبِيحُ وَالتَّكْبِيرُ وَتِلَاوَةُ الْقُرْآنِ»  

[Machine] Regarding Mu'awiyah bin 'Abdillah,  

عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بِنَحْوِهِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ enjoined killing the two black ones (snakes and scorpions) while praying. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1203)   

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الْأَسْوَدَيْنِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ» قَالَ يَحْيَى وَالْأَسْوَدَاْنِ الْحَيَّةُ وَالْعَقْرَبُ  

[Machine] "To shorten the prayer if you fear" [4:101]. This means that people have already accepted it. The Prophet ﷺ said, "I am amazed at what you are amazed at. Allah has granted you a charity, so accept it."  

أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ} [النساء 101] فَقَدْ أَمِنَ النَّاسُ قَالَ عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوهَا»  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed two Rak'ahs in Mina, Abu Bakr prayed two Rak'ahs, Umar prayed two Rak'ahs, and Uthman prayed two Rak'ahs, leading from his position, and then completed them afterward.  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى بِمِنًى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَعُمَرُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَعُثْمَانُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ صَدْرًا مِنْ إِمَارَتِهِ ثُمَّ أَتَمَّهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ»  

"I prayed Zuhr with the Prophet ﷺ in Al-Madinah, four Rak'ahs and 'Asr in Dhul-Hulaifah, two Rak'ahs." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 469)   

«صَلَّيْنَا الظُّهْرَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَرْبَعًا وَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَهُ بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ»  

I prayed along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ four rak'ahs at the noon prayer at Medina and two rak'ahs at the afternoon prayer in Dhu al-Hulaifah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1202)   

عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ «صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَرْبَعًا وَبِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ»  

[Machine] "The prayer was initially ordained with two units (rak'ahs). Then the prayer of travel (safar) was established with a shortened form, while the prayer of residence (hadar) was performed in its complete form." So I asked, "What was the reason for completing the prayer during travel?" He (Uthman) said, "It was interpreted (or understood) in this way as Uthman had also interpreted it."  

«إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ أَوَّلَ مَا فُرِضَتْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَأُقِرَّتْ صَلَاةُ السَّفَرِ وَأُتِمَّتْ صَلَاةُ الْحَضَرِ» فَقُلْتُ مَا لَهَا كَانَتْ تُتِمُّ الصَّلَاةَ فِي السَّفَرِ؟ قَالَ إِنَّهَا تَأَوَّلَتْ كَمَا تَأَوَّلَ عُثْمَانُ  

[Machine] "We accompanied the Prophet ﷺ and he shortened his prayers until we reached Mecca. He stayed there for ten days, shortening his prayers, before returning. This was during his pilgrimage."  

«خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ يَقْصُرُ حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ فَأَقَامَ بِهَا عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ يَقْصُرُ حَتَّى رَجَعَ وَذَلِكَ فِي حَجَّتِهِ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The Muhajir may stay for three days after completing his rituals.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1454)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مُكْثُ الْمُهَاجِرِ بَعْدَ قَضَاءِ نُسُكِهِ ثَلَاثٌ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ allowed the migrants to settle three days beyond the sacred territory in Mecca." Abu Muhammad said, "I agree with this."  

«رَخَّصَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِلْمُهَاجِرِينَ أَنْ يُقِيمُوا ثَلَاثًا بَعْدَ الصَّدَرِ بِمَكَّةَ» قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد «أَقُولُ بِهِ»  

The Prophet ﷺ used to pray (the Nawafil) on his Mount facing east and whenever he wanted to offer the compulsory prayer, he used to dismount and face the Qibla. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1099)  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ نَحْوَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ نَزَلَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ»  

I saw the Prophet ﷺ on his Mount praying Nawafil by nodding his head, whatever direction he faced, but Messenger of Allah ﷺ never did the same in offering the compulsory prayers. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1097)  

«رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُسَبِّحُ وَهُوَ عَلَى الرَّاحِلَةِ وَيُومِئُ بِرَأْسِهِ قِبَلَ أَيِّ وَجْهٍ تَوَجَّهَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ»  

[Machine] "We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the expedition of Tabuk. He used to combine the Dhuhr and Asr prayers, praying them together. Then, he entered (a place) and after that he came out again and prayed the Maghrib and Isha prayers together."  

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَامَ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فَكَانَ يَجْمَعُ الصَّلَاةَ يَصَلَّى الظُّهْرَ وَالْعَصْرَ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ دَخَلَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَصَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ وَالْعِشَاءَ جَمِيعًا  

the Messenger of Allah joined Maghrib and Isha in Jam (Al-Muzdalifah). (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3026)   

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ وَالْعِشَاءَ بِجَمْعٍ فَجَمَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا»  

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that if the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in a hurry to travel, he would combine Maghrib and 'Isha'. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 598)  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ إِذَا جَدَّ بِهِ السَّيْرُ»  

"I saw Sa'eed bin Jubari in Jam'.[1] He stood and prayed Maghrib, three Rak'ahs, then he stood and prayed 'Isha', two Rak'ahs. Then he mentioned that Ibn 'Umar had done the same thing in that place, and he mentioned that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has done the same thing in that place. [1] Meaning Al-Muzdalifah. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 481)  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَنَعَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ»  

[Machine] Shu'bah narrated to us with his chain of narration about it.  

حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ نَحْوَهُ  

[Machine] "From his father Abdullah and his uncle Ubaidullah ibn Ka'ab, that Ka'ab ibn Malik reported: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to set out for travel only during the daytime. After that, he would enter the mosque and pray two units of prayer, then sit with the people.'"  

عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَعَمِّهِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ابْنَيْ كَعْبٍ عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ لَا يَقْدَمُ مِنْ سَفَرٍ إِلَّا بِالنَّهَارِ ضُحًى ثُمَّ يَدْخُلُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ لِلنَّاسِ»  

"I went out on a campaign with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ toward Najd. We confronted the enemy and formed ranks facing them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and led us in prayer. Some of us stood with him and some of us faced the enemy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ bowed and those who were with him bowed, and prostrated twice. Then they moved away and took the place of the others, and the other group who had not prayed came and he led them in bowing once and prostrating twice. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the salam and each of the Muslims stood up and bowed once, and prostrated twice individually." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1539)   

«غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ غَزْوَةً قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ فَوَازَيْنَا الْعَدُوَّ وَصَافَفْنَاهُمْ» فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي لَنَا فَقَامَ طَائِفَةٌ مِنَّا مَعَهُ وَأَقْبَلَ طَائِفَةٌ عَلَى الْعَدُوِّ فَرَكَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَنْ مَعَهُ رَكْعَةً وَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا فَكَانُوا مَكَانَ الطَّائِفَةِ الَّتِي لَمْ تُصَلِّ وَجَاءَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الَّتِي لَمْ تُصَلِّ فَرَكَعَ بِهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَكْعَةً وَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَرَكَعَ لِنَفْسِهِ رَكْعَةً وَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ  

[Machine] "The imam leads one group while another group faces the enemy, then he performs a prayer with those who are with him. The first group then joins their companions and they perform a prayer together, completing a separate prayer for themselves."  

«يُصَلِّي الْإِمَامُ بِطَائِفَةٍ وَطَائِفَةٌ مُوَاجِهَةُ الْعَدُوِّ فَيُصَلِّي بِالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ رَكْعَةً وَيَذْهَبُ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى مَصَافِّ أَصْحَابِهِمْ وَيَجِيءُ أُولَئِكَ فَيُصَلِّي بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً وَيَقْضُونَ رَكْعَةً لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ»  

[Machine] "About the Prophet ﷺ , with his likeness"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بمِثْلَهُ  

[Machine] "We were besieged during the Battle of Al-Khandaq (the Trench) until the darkness of night arrived and we were relieved. This is the saying of Allah the Almighty, "And Allah was sufficient for the believers in battle, and ever is Allah Powerful and Exalted in Might." [Surah Al-Ahzab, 33:25]. The Prophet ﷺ then called Bilal and commanded him to call the Adhan (the Muslim call to prayer). He performed the Zuhr prayer perfectly, as he used to pray it in its proper time. Then he commanded him and he established the Asr prayer, and he performed it as well. Then he commanded him and he established the Maghrib prayer, and he performed it. Then he commanded him and he established the Isha prayer, and he performed it." [This happened] before the revelation of the verse "And if you fear [an enemy, then pray] on foot or riding." [Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:239].  

حُبِسْنَا يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ هَوِيٌّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ حَتَّى كُفِينَا وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى {وَكَفَى اللَّهُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْقِتَالَ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ قَوِيًّا عَزِيزًا} [الأحزاب 25] «فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِلَالًا فَأَمَرَهُ فَأَقَامَ فَصَلَّى الظُّهْرَ فَأَحْسَنَ كَمَا كَانَ يُصَلِّيهَا فِي وَقْتِهَا ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ فَأَقَامَ الْعَصْرَ فَصَلَّاهَا ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ فَأَقَامَ الْمَغْرِبَ فَصَلَّاهَا ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ فَأَقَامَ الْعِشَاءَ فَصَلَّاهَا» وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ {فَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ فَرِجَالًا أَوْ رُكْبَانًا} [البقرة 239]  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of the death of someone from the people but they are two signs amongst the signs of Allah. When you see them stand up and pray." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1041)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَيْسَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَلَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا فَقُومُوا فَصَلُّوا»  

[Machine] "The Prophet (pbuh) prayed eight units of prayer in four prostrations during an eclipse."  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى فِي كُسُوفٍ ثَمَانَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي أَرْبَعِ سَجَدَاتٍ»  

[Machine] May Allah protect you from the torment of the grave. When the Prophet ﷺ came, she asked him, "How do people get punished in their graves?" He replied, "By seeking refuge in Allah."  

أَعَاذَكِ اللَّهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَأَلَتْهُ أَيُعَذَّبُ النَّاسُ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ؟ قَالَ «عَائِذًا بِاللَّهِ»
