8. Prayer in Congregation
٨۔ كتاب صلاة الجماعة
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father that Umar ibn Abi Salama saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying in one garment in the house of Umm Salama. He was completely covered by it, and had put both ends over his shoulders.
أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ مُشْتَمِلاً بِهِ فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَاضِعًا طَرَفَيْهِ عَلَى عَاتِقَيْهِ
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Said ibn al- Musayyab from Abu Hurayra that some one asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about praying in one garment. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you all have two garments?"
أَنَّ سَائِلاً سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَوَلِكُلِّكُمْ ثَوْبَانِ
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Said ibn al- Musayyab said that Abu Hurayra was asked, "May a man pray in one garment?" He said, "Yes." The man then said to him "Do you do that?" and he replied, "Yes, I pray in one garment while my clothes are on the clothes-rack."
أَنَّهُ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ هَلْ يُصَلِّي الرَّجُلُ فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَقِيلَ لَهُ هَلْ تَفْعَلُ أَنْتَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ إِنِّي لأُصَلِّي فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ وَإِنَّ ثِيَابِي لَعَلَى الْمِشْجَبِ
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Jabir ibn Abdullah used to pray in one garment.
أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ كَانَ يُصَلِّي فِي الثَّوْبِ الْوَاحِدِ
Yahya related to me from Malik from Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman that Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Hazm used to pray in a single long shirt.
أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ كَانَ يُصَلِّي فِي الْقَمِيصِ الْوَاحِدِ
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard from Jabir ibn Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Let anyone who cannot find two garments pray in one garment and wrap himself in it, and if the garment is short, let him wrap it around his waist." Malik said, "In my view it is preferable for someone who prays in a single shirt to put a garment or a turban over his shoulders."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ ثَوْبَيْنِ فَلْيُصَلِّي فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ مُلْتَحِفًا بِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ الثَّوْبُ قَصِيرًا فَلْيَتَّزِرْ بِهِ قَالَ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ مَالِكٌ : أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ، الَّذِي يُصَلِّي فِي الْقَمِيصِ الْوَاحِدِ، عَلَى عَاتِقَيْهِ ثَوْبًا أَوْ عِمَامَةً
