The Prophet ﷺ was the best of all the people in character. I had a brother called Abu ʿUmar, who, I think, had been newly weaned. Whenever he (that child) was brought to the Prophet ﷺ the Prophet ﷺ used to say, "O Abu ʿUmar! What did Al-Nughair (nightingale) (do)?" It was a nightingale with which he used to play. Sometimes the time of the Prayer became due while he (the Prophet) was in our house. He would order that the carpet underneath him be swept and sprayed with water, and then he would stand up (for the prayer) and we would line up behind him, and he would lead us in prayer.

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ خُلُقًا وَكَانَ لِي أَخٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو عُمَيْرٍ قَالَ أَحْسِبُهُ فَطِيمٌ وَكَانَ إِذَا جَاءَ قَالَ يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ نُغَرٌ كَانَ يَلْعَبُ بِهِ فَرُبَّمَا حَضَرَ الصَّلاَةَ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِنَا فَيَأْمُرُ بِالْبِسَاطِ الَّذِي تَحْتَهُ فَيُكْنَسُ وَيُنْضَحُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ وَنَقُومُ خَلْفَهُ فَيُصَلِّي بِنَا

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the best of people in character, and I had a brother named Abu 'Umayr. I counted him as my nephew. He said, "I think he said, 'Fatteemah.'" He said, "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, he would see him and say, 'Abu 'Umayr, what is Al-Nughayr doing?' He said, 'It is a nanny goat that he plays with.' He said, 'Perhaps prayer will come upon him while he is in our house, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would order the mat below him to be swept, then it would be sprinkled with water, and then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would stand up and we would stand behind him, and he would lead us in prayer.' He said, 'Their mats were made of palm leaves.'"

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ خُلُقًا وَكَانَ لِي أَخٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو عُمَيْرٍ قَالَ أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ فَطِيمًا فَقَالَ وَكَانَ إِذَا جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَرَآهُ قَالَ أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ؟ قَالَ نُغَرٌ كَانَ يَلْعَبُ بِهِقَالَ فَرُبَّمَا تَحْضُرُهُ الصَّلَاةُ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِنَا فَيَأْمُرُ بِالْبِسَاطِ الَّذِي تَحْتَهُ فَيُكْنَسُ ثُمَّ يُنْضَحُ بِالْمَاءِ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَقُومُ خَلْفَهُ فَيُصَلِّي بِنَا قَالَ وَكَانَ بِسَاطُهُمْ مِنْ جَرِيدِ النَّخْلِ

Anas b. Malik reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wits the best among people in character. On occasions, the time of prayer would come while he was in our house. He would then order to spread the mat lying under him. That was dusted and then water was sprinkled over it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then led the prayer and we stood behind him, and that mat was made of the leaves of date-palm. (Using translation from Muslim 659)

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ خُلُقًا فَرُبَّمَا تَحْضُرُهُ الصَّلَاةُ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِنَا فَيَأْمُرُ بِالْبِسَاطِ الَّذِي تَحْتَهُ فَيُكْنَسُ ثُمَّ يُنْضَحُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَنَقُومُ خَلْفَهُ فَيُصَلِّي بِنَا قَالَ وَكَانَ بِسَاطُهُمْ مِنْ جَرِيدِ النَّخْلِ
