4. Ṣalāh (Ritual Prayers)
٤۔ كتاب الصلاة
An inquirer asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the prayer in a single garment. He (the Holy Prophet) add: Has everyone of you two garments?
أَنَّ سَائِلاً سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ فِي الثَّوْبِ الْوَاحِدِ فَقَالَ أَوَلِكُلِّكُمْ ثَوْبَانِ
A hadith like this has been narrated by Abu Huraira with another chain of transmitters.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ
A person addressed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said to him: Can any one of us say prayer in one garment? He said: Do all of you possess two garments?
نَادَى رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَيُصَلِّي أَحَدُنَا فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ فَقَالَ أَوَكُلُّكُمْ يَجِدُ ثَوْبَيْنِ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: None of you must pray in a single garment of which no part comes over his shoulders.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يُصَلِّي أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الثَّوْبِ الْوَاحِدِ لَيْسَ عَلَى عَاتِقَيْهِ مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ
I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying in Umm Salama's house in a single garment, placing its two ends over his shoulders.
أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ مُشْتَمِلاً بِهِ فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَاضِعًا طَرَفَيْهِ عَلَى عَاتِقَيْهِ
This hadith has been narrated by Hisham b. 'Urwa with the same chain of transmitters except (with this difference) that the word mutawashshihan was used and not the word mushtamilan.
أَنَّهُ قَالَ مُتَوَشِّحًا وَلَمْ يَقُلْ مُشْتَمِلاً
I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying prayer in the house of Umm Salama in a single garment with its extremities crossing each other.
رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فِي ثَوْبٍ قَدْ خَالَفَ بَيْنَ طَرَفَيْهِ
I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying in a single garment with its ends crossing each other. 'Isa b. Hammad added:" placing on his shoulders".
رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ مُلْتَحِفًا مُخَالِفًا بَيْنَ طَرَفَيْهِ زَادَ عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ قَالَ عَلَى مَنْكِبَيْهِ
I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying in a single garment crossing the two ends.
رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ مُتَوَشِّحًا بِهِ
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
وَقَالَ جَابِرٌ إِنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ
I visited the Apostle ﷺ and saw him praying on a reed mat on which he was prostrating himself. And I saw him praying in a single garment with ends crossed with each other.
أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُهُ يُصَلِّي عَلَى حَصِيرٍ يَسْجُدُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ وَرَأَيْتُهُ يُصَلِّي فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ مُتَوَشِّحًا بِهِ
" Placing its (mantle's) ends on his shoulders" ; and the narration transmitted by Abu Bakr and Suwaid (the words are):" the ends crossing with each other".
عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي كُرَيْبٍ وَاضِعًا طَرَفَيْهِ عَلَى عَاتِقَيْهِ وَرِوَايَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَسُوَيْدٍ مُتَوَشِّحًا بِهِ
