"عن أنَسٍ: أنَّ جَدَّتهُ مُلَيْكَةَ دَعَتِ النبِيّ ﷺ لِطَعَامٍ صَنَعَتْهُ لَهُ، فَأكَلَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ؟ " قُومُوا فَلنُصَلِّ لَكُمْ" فَقُمْتُ إِلَى حَصيرٍ لَنَا قَدِ اسْوَدَّ مِنْ طُولِ ما لُبِسَ فَنَضَحْتُهُ بِمَاءٍ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ وَصَفَفْتُ أنَا واليتِيمُ وَرَاءَهُ، والعَجُوزُ من وَرَائِنَا فَصلّى لَنَا رَكعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ انْصَرفَ ".

Collected by Bukhārī, Muslim, Nasāʾī, Abū Dāwūd, Tirmidhī, Mālik, Aḥmad, Dārimī, Ibn Ḥibbān, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, BayhaqīMy grandmother Mulaika invited Messenger of Allah ﷺ for a meal which she had prepared specially for him. He ate some of it and said, "Get up. I shall lead you in the prayer." I brought a mat that had become black owing to excessive use and I sprinkled water on it. Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood on it and prayed two rakʿat; and the orphan was with me (in the first row), and the old lady stood behind us.

Anas bin Malik said, "My grandmother Mulaika invited Messenger of Allah ﷺ for a meal which she herself had prepared. He ate from it and said, 'Get up! I will lead you in the prayer.' " Anas added, "I took my Hasir, washed it with water as it had become dark because of long use and Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood on it. The orphan (Damira or Ruh) and I aligned behind him and the old lady (Mulaika) stood behind us. Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the prayer and offered two rakʿat and then left."

Stand up so that I should observe prayer (in order to bless) you Anas b. Malik said: I stood up on a mat (belonging to us) which had turned dark on account of its long use. I sprinkled water over it (in order to soften it), and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood upon it, and I and an orphan formed a row behind him (the Holy Prophet) and the old woman was behind us, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in two rak'ahs of prayer and then went back.

"Get up and I will lead you in prayer." Anas said: "So I got up and brought a reed mat of ours that had turned black from long use, and spreaded some water on it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood and the orphan and I stood in a row behind him, and the old woman stood behind us, and he led us in praying two Rak'ahs, then he left."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha from Anas ibn Malik that his grandmother, Mulayka, invited the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for food and he ate some of it. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Get up and I will lead you in prayer." Anas said, "I stood up and took a woven mat belonging to us that had become black through long use and sprinkled it with water, and the Messengerof Allah ﷺ stood on it. The orphan and I formed a row behind him, and the old woman stood behind us. He prayed two rakas with us and then left."
