ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ صَلَاةَ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ بِمِنًى كَانَتِ السُّتْرَةُ قُدَّامَهُ حَيْثُ كَانَ الْأَتَانُ تَرْتَعُ قُدَّامَ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ

I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Mecca and he was (at that time) at al- Abtah in a red leather tent. And Bilal stepped out with ablution water for him. (And what was left out of that water) some of them got it (whereas others could not get it) and (those who got it) rubbed themselves with it. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stepped out with a red mantle on him and I was catching a glimpse of the whiteness of his shanks. The narrator said: He (the Holy Prophet) performed the ablution. and Bilal pronounced Adhan and I followed his mouth (as he turned) this side and that as he said on the right and the left:" Come to prayer, come to success." ' A spear was then fixed for him (on the ground). He stepped forward and said two rak'ahs of Zuhr, while there passed in front of him a donkey and a dog, and these were not checked. He then said two rak'ahs of the 'Asr prayer, and he then continued saying two rak'ahs till he came back to Medina. (Using translation from Muslim 503a)

ahmad:18762Wakīʿ > Sufyān > ʿAwn b. Abū Juḥayfah from his father

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ with a piece of meat while he was in his red dome. Bilal came out with exceptional brightness and radiance, as if he had a glow. He made the call to prayer, and I would follow his mouth movements as he said the adhan, moving my lips like this and like that, indicating right and left. Then a she-goat was brought to him, and the Prophet ﷺ came out wearing a red cloak or red garment. It was as if I could see the shine of his legs. He led us in prayer towards the she-goat during dhuhr or asr, performing two rak'ahs, without preventing the passage of a woman, a dog, or a donkey. He continued to pray two rak'ahs until he reached Madinah. Waqee' said once: He prayed dhuhr two rak'ahs and asr two rak'ahs.

[Machine] "I witnessed the Prophet ﷺ in al-Batha wearing a red dome, surrounded by people. Then Bilal came and called the Adhan, and he proceeded to recite the takbir (saying 'Allahu Akbar') with his mouth, pointing to his right and left. Sufyan means by saying 'Hayya 'ala as-salah' (come to prayer) 'Hayya 'ala al-falah' (come to success). Bilal came out with the Prophet’s wudu water, and people gathered around him – men, women, and even children – to receive blessings. The little ones would put their hands under the armpits of others and receive the blessings. Bilal was holding a female goat in his hands, and a donkey, a woman, or a dog would pass by and not impede the process. The Prophet performed two rak'ahs (units) of Dhuhr prayer, then two more, and then two more rak'ahs until he arrived at Medina."

[Machine] I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in al-Abtah, and I said, "I will observe how the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is performed today." Bilal went out and then entered again, carrying the ablution water of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The people rushed to get some of it, and it was enough for both the takin and the nadiq. Then he (Bilal) went in again and brought out a she-goat, which he milked. Then the Prophet ﷺ came out wearing a red garment, and I could see the whiteness of his shin from behind it. Bilal called the adhan, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer, with the donkey, a woman, and a dog in front of him.
