[Machine] "I prayed with the Prophet ﷺ two units of prayer while travelling."  

«صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي السَّفَرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ»  

Allah has prescribed the prayer through the word of your Prophet ﷺ as four rak'ahs when resident, two when travelling, and one when danger is present. (Using translation from Muslim 687a)  

«إِنَّ اللهَ فَرْضَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ فِي الْحَضَرِ أَرْبَعًا وَفِي السَّفَرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَفِي الْخَوْفِ رَكْعَةٌ»  

I asked Ibn 'Abbas: How should I say prayer when I am in Mecca, and when I do not pray along with the Imam? He said: Two rak'ahs (of prayer) is the Sunnah of Abu'l-Qasim ﷺ. (Using translation from Muslim 688a)  

«رَكْعَتَيْنِ سُنَّةَ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in Makkah (for fifteen days), praying each prayer with two rak'ahs. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1453)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «أَقَامَ بِمَكَّةَ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ»  

I prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ two rak'ahs and most of them offered two rak'ahs only in Mina, while the people felt secure. (Using translation from Muslim 696a)  

«صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِنًى آمَنُ مَا كَانَ النَّاسُ وَأَكْثَرُهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ»  

"Uthman prayer four (rak'ahs) in Mina until news of that reached 'Abdullah who said: 'I prayed two rak'ahs with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1449)  

صَلَّى عُثْمَانُ بِمِنًى أَرْبَعًا حَتَّى بَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَقَالَ «صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ»  

"Ibn 'Umar did not offer more than two rak'ahs when traveling, and he did not offer any prayer before or after that. It was said to him: 'What is this?' He said: 'This is what I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ doing.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1457)  

«هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَنَعَ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed at Dhi Qarad and the people formed two rows behind him, one row behind him and one row facing the enemy. He led those who were behind him in praying one rak'ah, then they went and took the place of the others, and the others came and he led them in praying one rak'ah, and they did not make it up. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1533)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «صَلَّى بِذِي قَرَدٍ فَصَفَّ النَّاسَ خَلْفَهُ صَفَّيْنِ صَفٌّ خَلْفَهُ وَصَفٌّ مُصَافُّو الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِالَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى مَكَانِ هَؤُلَاءِ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً وَلَمْ يَقْضُوا»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led the people in offering the fear prayer, two rak'ahs. Then he said the taslim and led others in offering the fear prayer, then he said the taslim. So the Prophet ﷺ had prayed four rak'ahs. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1551)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «صَلَّى بِالْقَوْمِ فِي الْخَوْفِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِالْقَوْمِ الْآخَرِينَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَصَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَرْبَعًا» خَالَفَهُ يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the prayer of fear with his companions. He prayed two units of prayer and the others faced their enemies. Then he saluted and the others came and he prayed two units with them and then saluted. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed four units and the people prayed two units each.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ فَصَلَّى بِطَائِفَةٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَالْآخَرُونَ يُقْبِلُونَ عَلَى عَدُوِّهِمْ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ الْآخَرُونَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَكَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَلِلنَّاسِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ»  

"The prayer of the resident was enjoined on the tongue of your Prophet ﷺ, four (rak'ahs), and the prayer of the traveler is two rak'ahs, and the prayer of fear is one rak'ah." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1441)  

«فُرِضَتْ صَلَاةُ الْحَضَرِ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّكُمْ أَرْبَعًا وَصَلَاةُ السَّفَرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَصَلَاةُ الْخَوْفِ رَكْعَةً»  

“When anyone of you enters the mosque, let him not sit down until he performs two Rak’ah.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1012)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلَا يَجْلِسْ فِيهِ حَتَّى يَرْكَعَ فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Kill the two black things during prayer, the snake and scorpion. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 921)   

«أَمْرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِقَتْلِ الْأَسْوَدَيْنِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ الْحَيَّةِ وَالْعَقْرَبِ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray carrying Umamah. When he prostrated he put her down and when he stood up he picked her up again. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1204)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ حَامِلٌ أُمَامَةَ فَإِذَا سَجَدَ وَضَعَهَا وَإِذَا قَامَ رَفَعَهَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to pray while carrying on his shoulder Ummama bint Abi Al-'Asi ibn Ar-Rabi' and her mother Zainab bint Rasulullah ﷺ . Whenever he prostrated, he would place her down from his shoulder, and when he finished his prostration, he would carry her on his shoulder again. He continued to do so until he finished his prayer.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَهُوَ حَامِلٌ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ أُمَامَةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي الْعَاصِي بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ وَأُمُّهَا زَيْنَبٌ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَكَانَ إِذَا رَكَعَ وَضَعَهَا عَنْ عَاتِقِهِ وَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ سُجُودِهِ حَمَلَهَا عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ»  

"I knocked at the door when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was offering a voluntary prayer. The door was in the direction of the Qiblah so he took a few steps to his right or left and opened the door, then he went back to where he was praying." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1206)  

قَالَتِ «اسْتَفْتَحْتُ الْبَابَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي تَطَوُّعًا وَالْبَابُ عَلَى الْقِبْلَةِ فَمَشَى عَنْ يَمِينِهِ أَوْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَفَتَحَ الْبَابَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى مُصَلَّاهُ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out to bring about reconciliation among Banu 'Amr bin 'Awf. The time for prayer came, and the Mu'adhdhin went to Abu Bakr to tell him to gather the people and lead them in prayer. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and passed though the rows until he stood in the first row. The people started clapping to let Abu Bakr know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had come. Abu Bakr never used to turn around when he prayed, but when they clapped consistently he realized something must have happened while they were praying. So he turned around and saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured to him to stay where he was. Abu Bakr raised his hands and praised and thanked Allah (SWT) for what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said. Then, he moved backwards, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went forward and prayed. When he finished, he said to Abu Bakr: 'What stopped you from continuing to pray when I gestured to you?' Abu Bakr, may Allah (SWT) be pleased with him, said: 'It was not appropriate for the son of Abu Quhafah to lead the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in prayer.' Then he said to the people: 'Why did you clap?' Clapping is for women.' Then he said: 'If you notice something when you are praying, say "SubhanAllah.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1183)  

انْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصْلِحُ بَيْنَ بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَجَاءَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَجْمَعَ النَّاسَ وَيَؤُمَّهُمْ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَرَقَ الصُّفُوفَ حَتَّى قَامَ فِي الْمُقَدَّمِ وَصَفَّحَ النَّاسُ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ لِيُؤْذِنُوهُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لَا يَلْتَفِتُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرُوا عِلْمَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ نَابَهُمْ شَيْءٌ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ فَالْتَفَتَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَيْ كَمَا أَنْتَ فَرَفَعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَدَهُ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ الْقَهْقَرَى وَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ «مَا مَنَعَكَ إِذَا أَوْمَأْتُ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ» قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَا كَانَ يَنْبَغِي لِابْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَنْ يَؤُمَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلنَّاسِ «مَا بَالُكُمْ صَفَّحْتُمْ إِنَّمَا التَّصْفِيحُ لِلنِّسَاءِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِذَا نَابَكُمْ شَيْءٌ فِي صَلَاتِكُمْ فَسَبَّحُوا»  

I asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ about looking hither and thither in prayer. He replied, "It is a way of stealing by which Satan takes away (a portion) from the prayer of a person." (Using translation from Bukhārī 751)   

سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الِالْتِفَاتِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ «اخْتِلَاسٌ يَخْتَلِسُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ» خَالَفَهُ إِسْرَائِيلُ  

I asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ about looking hither and thither in prayer. He replied, "It is a way of stealing by which Satan takes away (a portion) from the prayer of a person." (Using translation from Bukhārī 751)  

سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الِالْتِفَاتِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ «هُوَ اخْتِلَاسٌ يَخْتَلِسُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَبْدِ»  

"I heard Abu Al-Ahwas saying to us in a gathering with Ibn Al-Musayyab when Ibn Al-Musayyab was sitting there, that he had heard Abu Dharr say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Allah (SWT) continues to look upon His slave while he is praying, so long as he does not turn away. If he turns his face away, He turns away from him." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1195)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللهَ مُقْبِلٌ عَلَى الْعَبْدِ فِي صَلَاتِهِ مَا لَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ فَإِذَا صَرْفَ وَجْهَهُ انْصَرَفَ عَنْهُ»  

"The Messenger of Allah saw some sputum in the prayer direction of the mosque, when he was praying in front of the people. He scratched it off, then when the prayer was over, he said: 'When anyone of you is performing prayer, Allah is before him, so none of you should spit toward the front while praying.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 763)  

رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نُخَامَةً فِي قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي بَيْنَ يَدَيِ النَّاسِ فَحَتَّهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ حِينَ انْصَرَفَ «إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا كَانَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّ اللهَ قِبَلُ وَجْهِهِ فَلَا يَتَنَخَّمَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ قِبَلَ وَجْهِهِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to turn to his right and left when praying, but he did not twist his neck to look behind him." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1201)   

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَلْحَظُ فِي صَلَاتِهِ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا وَلَا يَلْوِي عُنُقَهُ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ»  

We asked Khabbab: Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recit (the Quran) in the noon and afternoon prayers? He replied: Yes. We then asked: How did you know this? He said: By the shaking of his beard, may peace be upon him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 801)   

قُلْنَا لِخَبَّابٍ هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قُلْتُ بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ كُنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ؟ قَالَ «بِاضْطِرَابِ لِحْيَتِهِ»  

Al-Bara who is not a liar said; when they (the companions) raised their heads from bowing along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, they would stand up, and when they saw him that he went down in prostration, they would prostrate (following the prophet). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 620)   

حَدَّثَنِي الْبَرَاءُ وَهُوَ غَيْرُ كَذُوبٍ أَنَّهُمْ «إِذَا صَلَّوْا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَرَفَعُوا رُءُوسَهُمْ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ قَامُوا قِيَامًا حَتَّى يَرَوْهُ قَدْ سَجَدَ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'When any one of you stands in prayer, let him not smooth the pebbles, for he is facing Mercy.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1191)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا قَامَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَا يَمْسَحِ الْحَصَى فَإِنَّ الرَّحْمَةَ تُوَاجِهُهُ»  

"Mu'aiqib told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'If you have to do that, then do it only once.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1192)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنْ كُنْتَ فَاعِلًا فَمَرَّةً»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Tasbih (glorifying Allah) is for men and clapping is for women" in the hadith of Ibn Al-Muthanna in prayer. The wording of the hadith is for Qutaybah.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «التَّسْبِيحُ لِلرِّجَالِ وَالتَّصْفِيقُ لِلنِّسَاءِ» فِي حَدِيثِ ابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى فِي الصَّلَاةِ لَفْظُ الْحَدِيثِ لِقُتَيْبَةَ  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fell ill, and we prayed behind him while he was sitting down, and Abu Bakr was saying the Takbir so that the people could hear them. He turned to us and saw us standing, so he gestured to us to sit down. When he had said the Salam, he said: ‘You were about to do the action of the Persians and Romans, who remain standing while their kings are seated. Do not do that. Follow the lead of your Imam; if he prays standing, then pray standing, and if he prays sitting down, then pray sitting down.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1240)  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ اشْتَكَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّيْنَا وَرَاءَهُ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ يُكَبِّرُ وَيُسْمِعُ النَّاسَ تَكْبِيرَهُ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا فَرَآنَا قِيَامًا فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَعَدْنَا فَصَلَّيْنَا بِصَلَاتِهِ قُعُودًا فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَالَ «إِنْ كِدْتُمْ آنِفًا لَتَفْعَلُونَ فِعْلَ فَارِسٍ وَالرُّومِ يَقُومُونَ عَلَى مُلُوكِهِمْ وَهُمْ قُعُودٌ فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا ائْتَمُّوا بِأَئِمَّتِكُمْ إِنْ صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَصَلَّوْا قِيَامًا وَإِنْ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَصَلَّوْا قُعُودًا»  

"We used to pray behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we would greet (others) with our hands. He said: 'What is the matter with those who greet (others) with their hands as if they were tails of wild horses? It is sufficient for any one of you to put his hand on his thigh and say: "As-salamu 'alaikum, as-salamu 'alaikum." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1185)  

كُنَّا نُصَلِّي خَلْفَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَنُسَلِّمُ بِأَيْدِينَا فَقَالَ مَا بَالُ هَؤُلَاءِ يُسَلِّمُونَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ كَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ خَيْلِ شَمْسٍ إِنَّمَا يَكْفِي أَحَدَكُمْ أَنْ يَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me on an errand then I came back to him while he was praying. I greeted him with the salam and he gestured to me. When he finished he called me and said: 'You greeted me with Salam just now and I was praying.' And he was facing toward the east that day." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1189)  

بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِحَاجَةٍ ثُمَّ أَدْرَكْتُهُ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيَّ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ دَعَانِي فَقَالَ «إِنَّكَ سَلَّمْتَ عَلَيَّ آنِفًا وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي» وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مُوَجَّهٌ حِينَئِذٍ إِلَى الْمَشْرِقِ  

[Machine] The following passage is a Hadith from the Prophet Muhammed ﷺ : "Verily, there is diversion in prayer." It was contradicted by Bishr ibn al-Mufaddal.  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شُغْلًا» خَالَفَهُ بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ  

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ concerning a man who greeted him while he was praying, he said, "Indeed, in prayer there is occupation."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي الرَّجُلِ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي قَالَ «إِنَّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شُغْلًا»  

[Machine] We used to greet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was praying, and he would respond to us. But when we arrived in Habasha (Ethiopia) and returned, we greeted him and he did not respond. So we asked him, and he said, "Indeed, I was preoccupied in prayer."  

كُنَّا نُسَلِّمُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْنَا فَلَمَّا أَتَيْنَا الْحَبَشَ فَرَجَعْنَا فَسَلَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يُرِدَّ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شُغْلًا»  

He greeted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with the Salam when he was praying, and he returned the greeting. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1188)  

أَنَّهُ «سَلِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ»  

What is the matter that people raise their (Upwards) in prayer. He then said sternly: They should stop doing that, otherwise their sight will be snatched away. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 913)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَرْفَعُونَ أَبْصَارَهُمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ فَاشْتَدَّ قَوْلُهُ فِي ذَلِكَ حَتَّى قَالَ لَيَنْتَهُنَّ عَنْ ذَلِكَ أَوْ لَتُخْطَفَنَّ أَبْصَارَهُمْ  

Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying; Glorifying Allah applies to men and clapping applies only to women. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 939)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «التَّسْبِيحُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ لِلرِّجَالِ وَالتَّصْفِيقُ لِلنِّسَاءِ»  

"I came to the Prophet ﷺ when he was praying, and there was a sound coming from his chest like the sound of water boiling," meaning, he was weeping. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1214)  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي وَلِجَوْفِهِ أَزِيزٌ كَأَزِيزِ الْمِرْجَلِ يَعْنِي يُبْكِي  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ is heard supplicating in a prostration, like the sound of boiling water in a kettle.  

يُسْمَعُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَزِيزٌ بِالدُّعَاءِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ كَأَزِيزِ الْمِرْجَلِ»  

[Machine] "The sun darkened on the day when Ibrahim passed away, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed two units of prayer. He would advance and blow and then retreat, and he would advance and blow and then retreat. When he finished, the manifestation appeared."  

«انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ يَوْمَ مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَجَعَلَ يَتَقَدَّمُ وَيَنْفُخُ وَيَتَأَخَّرُ وَيَتَقَدَّمُ وَيَنْفُخُ وَيَتَأَخَّرُ فَانْصَرَفَ حِينَ انْصَرَفَ وَقَدْ تَجَلَّتْ»  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was prostrating in the last prostration of his prayer of Ayat, then he blew in the last prostration and said, "Woe, woe, woe." Then he said, "My Lord, did You not promise me not to punish them while I am among them? My Lord, did You not promise me not to punish them while they are seeking Your forgiveness?"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ سَاجِدًا فِي آخِرِ سُجُودِهِ فِي صَلَاةِ الْآيَاتِ فَنَفَخَ فِي آخِرِ سَجْدَةٍ فَقَالَ «أُفٍّ أُفٍّ أُفٍّ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «رَبِّ أَلَمْ تَعِدْنِي أَنْ لَا تُعَذِّبْهُمْ وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ رَبِّ أَلَمْ تَعِدْنِي أَنْ لَا تُعَذِّبْهُمْ وَهُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ passed by a boy named Rabah who was praying. He blew into his prostration and said to him, "O Rabah, do not blow. Whoever blows, he has spoken."  

مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِغُلَامٍ لَهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ رَبَاحٌ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَنَفَخَ فِي سُجُودِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ «يَا رَبَاحُ لَا تَنْفُخْ إِنَّ مَنْ نَفَخَ فَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up (to pray) and we heard him say:" I seek refuge in Allah from thee." Then said:" curse thee with Allah's curse" three times, then he stretched out his hand as though he was taking hold of something. When he finished the prayer, we said: Messenger of Allah, we heard you say something during the prayer which we have not heard you say before, and we saw you stretch out your hand. He replied: Allah's enemy Iblis came with a flame of fire to put it in my face, so I said three times:" I Seek refuge in Allah from thee." Then I said three times:" I curse thee with Allah's full curse." But he did not retreat (on any one of these) three occasions. Thereafter I meant to seize him. I swear by Allah that had it not been for the supplication of my brother Sulaiman he would have been bound, and made an object of sport for the children of Medina. (Using translation from Muslim 542)  

قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فَسَمِعْنَاهُ يَقُولُ «أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلْعَنُكَ بِلَعْنَةِ اللهِ ثَلَاثًا» وَبَسَطَ يَدَهُ كَأَنَّهُ يَتَنَاوَلُ شَيْئًا فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ سَمِعْنَاكَ تَقُولُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شَيْئًا لَمْ نَسْمَعْكَ تَقُولُهُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ وَرَأَيْنَاكَ بُسِطَتْ يَدَكَ قَالَ إِنَّ عَدُوَّ اللهِ إِبْلِيسَ جَاءَ بِشِهَابٍ مِنْ نَارٍ لِيَجْعَلَهُ فِي وَجْهِي فَقُلْتُ أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ أَلْعَنُكَ بِلَعْنَةِ اللهِ فَلَمْ يَسْتَأْخِرْ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ آخُذَهُ وَاللهِ لَوْلَا دَعْوَةُ أَخِينَا سُلَيْمَانَ لَأَصْبَحَ مُوَثَّقًا يَلْعَبُ بِهِ وُلْدَانُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "While I was standing to pray, Satan came to distract me, so I took hold of him by his neck and choked him until I could feel the coldness of his tongue on my thumb. May Allah have mercy upon Sulaiman, if it were not for my supplication, he would have remained tied up for you to see." Abu Salamah disagreed with him concerning his wording.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «بَيْنَا أَنَا قَائِمٌ أُصَلِّي اعْتَرَضَ لِي الشَّيْطَانُ فَأَخَذْتُ بِحَلْقِهِ فَخَنَقْتُهُ حَتَّى إِنِّي لَأَجِدُ بَرْدَ لِسَانِهِ عَلَى إِبْهَامِي فَرَحِمَ اللهُ سُلَيْمَانَ لَوْلَا دَعَوْتُهُ أَصْبَحَ مَرْبُوطًا تَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ» خَالَفَهُ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ فِي لَفْظِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Satan confronted me in my prayer, so I seized him by his throat and strangled him until I could feel the coldness of his tongue on my palms. If it were not for the supplication of my brother Solomon, he would have been tied up and you would have seen him."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «اعْتَرَضَ لِي الشَّيْطَانُ فِي مُصَلَّايَ فَأَخَذْتُ بِحَلْقِهِ فَخَنَقْتُهُ حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ بَرْدَ لِسَانِهِ عَلَى كَفَّيَّ وَلَوْلَا مَا كَانَ مِنْ دَعْوَةِ أَخِي سُلَيْمَانَ لَأَصْبَحَ مَرْبُوطًا تَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us and we were raising our hands during the Salah. He said: 'Why are you raising your hands while praying, like the tails of wild horses? Stay still when you are praying.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1184)  

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ يَعْنِي رَافِعُو أَيْدِينَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ «مَا لَهُمْ رَافِعِينَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ كَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ الْخَيْلِ الشَّمْسِ اسْكُنُوا فِي الصَّلَاةِ»  

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ once prayed with a sheet of cloth upon him. It had prints and paintings. He said: The prints of this (sheet) distracted my attention; take it to Abu Jahm and bring a blanket to me. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 914)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى فِي خَمِيصَةٍ لَهَا أَعْلَامٌ قَالَ «شَغَلَتْنِي أَعْلَامُ هَذِهِ اذْهَبُوا بِهَا إِلَى أَبِي جَهْمٍ وَائْتُونِي بِأَنْبِجَانِيَّةٍ»  

Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to pray and we stood up with him. A Bedouin said- while he was praying- 'O Allah, have mercy on me and Muhammad and do not have mercy on anyone else.' When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the Salam, he said to the Bedouin: 'You have limited something vast," meaning the mercy of Allah (SWT)." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1216)  

قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَقُمْنَا مَعَهُ فَقَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ اللهُمُ ارْحَمْنِي وَمُحَمَّدًا وَلَا تَرْحَمْ مَعَنَا أَحَدًا فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِلْأَعْرَابِيِّ «لَقَدْ تَحَجَّرْتَ وَاسِعًا يُرِيدُ رَحْمَةَ اللهِ» خَالَفَهُ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You have indeed placed a large boulder."  

رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَقَدْ تَحَجَّرْتَ وَاسِعًا»  

[Machine] While I was with the Messenger of Allah in prayer, a man from the people sneezed. So, I said to him, "May Allah have mercy on you." The people stared at me with their eyes, so I said, "Woe to you all, why are you looking at me?" They started hitting their thighs with their hands to silence me, but I remained silent. When the Messenger of Allah finished praying, he called me and said, "Who is your father and mother? He did not hit me, nor did he scratch me, nor did he curse me. I have never seen a teacher before him or after him who provided better teaching than him." He said, "Verily, in our prayer, there should be no place for the talk of people. It is only for praising Allah, saying takbeer, and reciting the Quran." Then, I noticed some spoils of war, so I remembered the hadith briefly.  

بَيْنَا أَنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ إِذْ عَطَسَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَقُلْتُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ فَحَدَقَنِي الْقَوْمُ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ فَقُلْتُ وَاثُكْلَ أُمِّيَا مَا لَكُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ؟ قَالَ فَضَرَبَ الْقَوْمُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ عَلَى أَفْخَاذِهِمْ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُمْ يُسَكِّتُونِي لَكِنِّي سَكَتُّ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ دَعَانِي بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي هُوَ مَا ضَرَبَنِي وَلَا كَهَرَنِي وَلَا سَبَّنِي مَا رَأَيْتُ مُعَلِّمًا قَبْلَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ أَحْسَنَ تَعْلِيمًا مِنْهُ قَالَ «إِنَّ صَلَاتَنَا هَذِهِ لَا يُصْلِحُ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ مِنْ كَلَامِ النَّاسِ إِنَّمَا هِيَ التَّسْبِيحُ وَالتَّكْبِيرُ وَتِلَاوَةُ الْقُرْآنِ» قَالَ ثُمَّ اطَّلَعْتُ غُنَيْمَةً لِي فَذَكَرْتُ الْحَدِيثَ مُخْتَصَرٌ  

We used to speak while in prayer. One of us used to speak to his brother (while in prayer) about his need, till the Verse was revealed:-- "Guard strictly the (five obligatory) prayers, especially the middle (the Best) (ʿAsr) Prayer and stand before Allah with obedience (and not to speak to others during the prayers)." Then we were ordered not to speak in the prayers. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4534)   

كُنَّا فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُكَلِّمُ أَحَدُنَا صَاحِبَهُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فِي حَاجَتِهِ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ} [البقرة 238] فَأُمِرْنَا حِينَئِذٍ بِالسُّكُوتِ
