Whenever ʿAisha (the wife of the Prophet) heard anything which she did not understand, she used to ask again till she understood it completely. Aisha said: "Once the Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever will be called to account (about his deeds on the Day of Resurrection) will surely be punished." I said, "Doesn't Allah say: "He surely will receive an easy reckoning." (84.8) The Prophet ﷺ replied, "This means only the presentation of the accounts but whoever will be argued about his account, will certainly be ruined."  

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ كَانَتْ لاَ تَسْمَعُ شَيْئًا لاَ تَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ رَاجَعَتْ فِيهِ حَتَّى تَعْرِفَهُ وَأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ حُوسِبَ عُذِّبَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقُلْتُ أَوَ لَيْسَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا} قَالَتْ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ الْعَرْضُ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ نُوقِشَ الْحِسَابَ يَهْلِكْ  

I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Whoever (intentionally) ascribes to me what I have not said then (surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire."  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ يَقُلْ عَلَىَّ مَا لَمْ أَقُلْ فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ  

‘Whoever lies upon me intentionally, then let him take his seat in the Fire’. (Using translation from Muslim 3)  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ  

I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Whoever (intentionally) ascribes to me what I have not said then (surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire." (Using translation from Bukhārī 109)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ قَالَ عَلَيَّ مَا لَمْ أَقُلْ فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ»  

The above mentioned Statement of ʿAli ˹who said: "Speak to the people in a way that they understand. Do you like for Allah and His Messenger to be denied?"˺  

بِذَلِكَ: [حَدِّثُوا النَّاسَ، بِمَا يَعْرِفُونَ، أَتُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يُكَذَّبَ، اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ]  

[Machine] On the authority of ʿAlī, who said: “Speak to people about what they understand. Do you like that Allah and His Messenger should be denied?”  

"عن عليٍّ قال: حَدِّثوا النَّاسَ بمَا تَعرِفونَ، أَتُحبونَ أَن يكذَّبَ الله ورسُولُه؟ ! ".  

I heard Abu Huraira saying as he passed by us while the people were performing ablution from a utensil containing water, "Perform ablution perfectly and thoroughly for Abul-Qasim (the Prophet) said, 'Save your heels from the Hell-fire.' "  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ وَكَانَ يَمُرُّ بِنَا وَالنَّاسُ يَتَوَضَّئُونَ مِنَ الْمِطْهَرَةِ قَالَ أَسْبِغُوا الْوُضُوءَ فَإِنَّ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ قَالَ وَيْلٌ لِلأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ  

[Machine] He said: Abu Huraira used to come to people while they were performing ablution in the ablution area and say to them, "Perform the ablution well, perform the ablution well, as I heard Abu Al-Qasim ﷺ saying: Woe to the heels from the Hellfire."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ وَهُمْ يَتَوَضَّئُونَ فِي الْمَطْهَرَةِ فَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ أَسْبِغُوا الْوُضُوءَ أَسْبِغُوا الْوُضُوءَ فَإِنِّيسَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ يَقُولُ وَيْلٌ لِلْأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ  

I heard Sulaiman bin Yasar talking about the clothes soiled with semen. He said that ʿAisha had said, "I used to wash it off the clothes of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he would go for the prayers while water spots were still visible on them.  

عَائِشَةُ كُنْتُ أَغْسِلُهُ مِنْ ثَوْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ وَأَثَرُ الْغَسْلِ فِيهِ بُقَعُ الْمَاءِ  

Sahl bin Saʿd As-Saʿidi, was asked by the people, "With what was the wound of the Prophet ﷺ treated? Sahl replied, "None remains among the people living who knows that better than I. ʿAli [??] used to bring water in his shield and Fatima used to wash the blood off his face. Then straw mat was burnt and the wound was filled with it."  

سَمِعَ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ وَسَأَلَهُ النَّاسُ وَمَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ أَحَدٌ بِأَىِّ شَىْءٍ دُووِيَ جُرْحُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا بَقِيَ أَحَدٌ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي كَانَ عَلِيٌّ يَجِيءُ بِتُرْسِهِ فِيهِ مَاءٌ وَفَاطِمَةُ تَغْسِلُ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ الدَّمَ فَأُخِذَ حَصِيرٌ فَأُحْرِقَ فَحُشِيَ بِهِ جُرْحُهُ  

The people differed about the type of treatment which had been given to Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day (of the battle) of Uhud. So they asked Sahl bin Saʿd As-Saʿid who was the only surviving Companion (of the Prophet) at Medina. He replied, "Nobody Is left at Medina who knows it better than I. Fatima was washing the blood off his face and ʿAli was bringing water in his shield, and then a mat of datepalm leaves was burnt and (the ash) was inserted into the wound."  

اخْتَلَفَ النَّاسُ بِأَىِّ شَىْءٍ دُووِيَ جُرْحُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَسَأَلُوا سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ وَكَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ وَمَا بَقِيَ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَحَدٌ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي كَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ تَغْسِلُ الدَّمَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَعَلِيٌّ يَأْتِي بِالْمَاءِ عَلَى تُرْسِهِ فَأُخِذَ حَصِيرٌ فَحُرِّقَ فَحُشِيَ بِهِ جُرْحُهُ  

I saw Jabir bin ʿAbdullah praying in a single garment and he said that he had seen the Prophet ﷺ praying in a single garment.  

رَأَيْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ وَقَالَ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فِي ثَوْبٍ  

I went to Jabir bin ʿAbdullah and he was praying wrapped in a garment and his Rida was Lying beside him. When he finished the prayers, I said "O ʿAbdullah! You pray (in a single garment) while your Rida' is lying beside you." He replied, "Yes, I did it intentionally so that the ignorant ones like you might see me. I saw the Prophet ﷺ praying like this. "  

أَنْ يَرَانِي الْجُهَّالُ مِثْلُكُمْ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي هَكَذَا  

ʿAisha had a Qiram (a thin marked woolen curtain) with which she had screened one side of her home. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Take away this Qiram of yours, as its pictures are still displayed in front of me during my prayer (i.e. they divert my attention from the prayer).  

عَنْ أَنَسٍ كَانَ قِرَامٌ لِعَائِشَةَ سَتَرَتْ بِهِ جَانِبَ بَيْتِهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَمِيطِي عَنَّا قِرَامَكِ هَذَا فَإِنَّهُ لاَ تَزَالُ تَصَاوِيرُهُ تَعْرِضُ فِي صَلاَتِي  

Saʿid bin Yazid Al-Azdi: I asked Anas bin Malik whether the Prophet ﷺ had ever, prayed with his shoes on. He replied "Yes."  

سَأَلْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فِي نَعْلَيْهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ  

I asked Anas (bin Malik), "Did the Prophet ﷺ use to offer the prayers with his shoes on?" He said, "Yes."  

سَأَلْتُ أَنَسًا أَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فِي نَعْلَيْهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ  

I said to Anas b. Malik: Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray while putting on the shoes? He said: Yes.  

قُلْتُ لأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فِي النَّعْلَيْنِ قَالَ نَعَمْ  

"I asked Anas bin Malik: 'Did the Prophet ﷺ pray in sandals?' He said: 'Yes.'"  

سَأَلْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فِي النَّعْلَيْنِ قَالَ نَعَمْ  

"I asked Anas bin Malik: 'Did the Prophet ﷺ pray in sandals?' He said: 'Yes.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 775)  

سَأَلْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فِي نَعْلَيْهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ  

I asked Anas (bin Malik), "Did the Prophet ﷺ use to offer the prayers with his shoes on?" He said, "Yes." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5850)  

سَأَلْتُ أَنَسًا أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فِي النَّعْلَيْنِ قَالَ «نَعَمْ»  

as above (395).  

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا بِهَذَا  

Some goods came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Bahrain. The Prophet ﷺ ordered the people to spread them in the mosque --it was the biggest amount of goods Messenger of Allah ﷺ had ever received. He left for prayer and did not even look at it. After finishing the prayer, he sat by those goods and gave from those to everybody he saw. Al-ʿAbbas came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! give me (something) too, because I gave ransom for myself and ʿAqil". Messenger of Allah ﷺ told him to take. So he stuffed his garment with it and tried to carry it away but he failed to do so. He said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Order someone to help me in lifting it." The Prophet ﷺ refused. He then said to the Prophet: Will you please help me to lift it?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ refused. Then Al-ʿAbbas threw some of it and tried to lift it (but failed). He again said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ Order someone to help me to lift it." He refused. Al-ʿAbbas then said to the Prophet: "Will you please help me to lift it?" He again refused. Then Al-ʿAbbas threw some of it, and lifted it on his shoulders and went away. Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept on watching him till he disappeared from his sight and was astonished at his greediness. Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not get up till the last coin was distributed.  

أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِمَالٍ مِنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ فَقَالَ انْثُرُوهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَكَانَ أَكْثَرَ مَالٍ أُتِيَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ وَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلاَةَ جَاءَ فَجَلَسَ إِلَيْهِ فَمَا كَانَ يَرَى أَحَدًا إِلاَّ أَعْطَاهُ إِذْ جَاءَهُ الْعَبَّاسُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعْطِنِي فَإِنِّي فَادَيْتُ نَفْسِي وَفَادَيْتُ عَقِيلاً فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خُذْ فَحَثَا فِي ثَوْبِهِ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ يُقِلُّهُ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُؤْمُرْ بَعْضَهُمْ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَىَّ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَارْفَعْهُ أَنْتَ عَلَىَّ قَالَ لاَ فَنَثَرَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ يُقِلُّهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُؤْمُرْ بَعْضَهُمْ يَرْفَعْهُ عَلَىَّ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَارْفَعْهُ أَنْتَ عَلَىَّ قَالَ لاَ فَنَثَرَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ احْتَمَلَهُ فَأَلْقَاهُ عَلَى كَاهِلِهِ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ فَمَا زَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُتْبِعُهُ بَصَرَهُ حَتَّى خَفِيَ عَلَيْنَا عَجَبًا مِنْ حِرْصِهِ فَمَا قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَثَمَّ مِنْهَا دِرْهَمٌ  

I heard Jabir bin ʿAbdullah saying, "A man passed through the mosque carrying arrows. Allah's Apostle said to him, 'Hold them by their heads.' "  

مَرَّ رَجُلٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَمَعَهُ سِهَامٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «أَمْسِكْ بِنِصَالِهَا۔»  

"I said to 'Amr: 'Did you hear Jabir say: "A man passed through the Masjid carrying arrows, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: 'Hold then by the blades.'? He said: 'Yes.'"  

أَسَمِعْتَ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ مَرَّ رَجُلٌ بِسِهَامٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خُذْ بِنِصَالِهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said to a man who entered the mosque with arrows, "Hold onto their tips". He replied, "Yes".  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِرَجُلٍ مَرَّ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ بِسِهَامٍ «أَمْسِكْ بِنِصَالِهَا» قَالَ نَعَمْ  

The distance between the wall of the mosque and the pulpit was hardly enough for a sheep to pass through.  

كَانَ جِدَارُ الْمَسْجِدِ عِنْدَ الْمِنْبَرِ مَا كَادَتِ الشَّاةُ تَجُوزُهَا  

(the wife of the Prophet) Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to get up at night and pray while I used to lie across between him and the Qibla on his family's bed.  

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ لَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَإِنِّي لَمُعْتَرِضَةٌ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ عَلَى فِرَاشِ أَهْلِهِ  

[Machine] "Narrated by Aisha, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform his night prayer while I was lying across between him and the qiblah, just like the position of a deceased person lying across."  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي صَلَاتَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَأَنَا مُعْتَرِضَةٌ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ كَاعْتِرَاضِ الْجِنَازَةِ  

Once ʿUmar bin ʿAbdul ʿAziz delayed the prayer and ʿUrwa bin Az-Zubair went to him and said, "Once in 'Iraq, Al-Mughira bin Shuʿba delayed his prayers and Abi Masʿud Al-Ansari went to him and said, 'O Mughira! What is this? Don't you know that once Gabriel came and offered the prayer (Fajr prayer) and Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed too, then he prayed again (Zuhr prayer) and so did Allah's Apostle and again he prayed (ʿAsr prayers and Messenger of Allah ﷺ did the same; again he prayed (Maghrib-prayer) and so did Messenger of Allah ﷺ and again prayed (ʿIsha prayer) and so did Allah's Apostle and (Gabriel) said, 'I was ordered to do so (to demonstrate the prayers prescribed to you)?'" ʿUmar (bin ʿAbdul ʿAziz) said to ʿUrwa, "Be sure of what you Say. Did Gabriel lead Messenger of Allah ﷺ at the stated times of the prayers?" ʿUrwa replied, "Bashir bin Abi Masʿud narrated like this on the authority of his father." ʿUrwa added, "Aisha told me that Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray ʿAsr prayer when the sunshine was still inside her residence (during the early time of ʿAsr).  

أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ أَخَّرَ الصَّلاَةَ يَوْمًا فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ أَخَّرَ الصَّلاَةَ يَوْمًا وَهْوَ بِالْعِرَاقِ۔ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ: مَا هَذَا يَا مُغِيرَةُ؟ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ ثُمَّ قَالَ: بِهَذَا أُمِرْتُ  

Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz one day deferred the prayer. 'Urwa b. Zubair came to him and informed him that one day as Mughira b. Shu'ba was in Kufa (as its governor), he deferred the prayer, Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari came to him and said: What is this, O Mughira? Did you know that it was Gabriel who came and said prayer and (then) the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the prayer (along with him), then (Gabriel) prayed and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ also prayed, then (Gabriel) prayed and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ also prayed, then (Gabriel) prayed and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed (along with him). then Gabriel prayed and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ also prayed (along with him) and then said: This is how I have been ordered to do. 'Umar (b. 'Abd al-'Aziz) said. O 'Urwa be mindful of what you are saying that Gabriel (peace be upon him) taught the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the times of prayer. Upon this 'Urwa said: This is how Bashir b. Abu Mas'ud narrated on the authority of his father  

مَا هَذَا يَا مُغِيرَةُ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِهَذَا أُمِرْتُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لِعُرْوَةَ انْظُرْ مَا تُحَدِّثُ يَا عُرْوَةُ أَوَإِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ هُوَ أَقَامَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقْتَ الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ عُرْوَةُ كَذَلِكَ كَانَ بَشِيرُ بْنُ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ  

He said, "Yahya ibn Yahya al-Laythi related to me from Malik ibn Anas from Ibn Shihab that one day Umar ibn Abdal-Aziz delayed the prayer. Urwa ibn az-Zubayr came and told him that al-Mughira ibn Shuba had delayed the prayer one day while he was in Kufa and Abu Masud al- Ansari had come to him and said, 'What's this, Mughira? Don't you know that the angel Jibril came down and prayed and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed.' Then he prayed again, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed. Then he prayed again, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed. Then he prayed again, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed. Then he prayed again, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed. Then Jibril said, 'This is what you have been ordered to do.' Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz said, 'Be sure of what you relate, Urwa. Was it definitely Jibril who established the time of the prayer for the Messenger of Allah?' " Urwa said, "That's how it was related to Bashir ibn Abi Masud al-Ansari by his father."  

أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ أَخَّرَ الصَّلاَةَ يَوْمًا فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ أَخَّرَ الصَّلاَةَ يَوْمًا وَهُوَ بِالْكُوفَةِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا يَا مُغِيرَةُ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِهَذَا أُمِرْتُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ اعْلَمْ مَا تُحَدِّثُ بِهِ يَا عُرْوَةُ أَوَ إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ هُوَ الَّذِي أَقَامَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقْتَ الصَّلاَةِ قَالَ عُرْوَةُ كَذَلِكَ كَانَ بَشِيرُ بْنُ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ  

Abu Barza said, "The Prophet ﷺ used to offer the Fajr (prayer) when one could recognize the person sitting by him (after the prayer) and he used to recite between 60 to 100 Ayat (verses) of the Qur'an. He used to offer the Zuhr prayer as soon as the sun declined (at noon) and the ʿAsr at a time when a man might go and return from the farthest place in Medina and find the sun still hot. (The sub-narrator forgot what was said about the Maghrib). He did not mind delaying the ʿIsha prayer to one third of the night or the middle of the night."  

عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ وَأَحَدُنَا يَعْرِفُ جَلِيسَهُ وَيَقْرَأُ فِيهَا مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّينَ إِلَى الْمِائَةِ وَيُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَالْعَصْرَ وَأَحَدُنَا يَذْهَبُ إِلَى أَقْصَى الْمَدِينَةِ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ وَالشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ وَنَسِيتُ مَا قَالَ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ وَلاَ يُبَالِي بِتَأْخِيرِ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِلَى شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ وَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ ثُمَّ لَقِيتُهُ مَرَّةً فَقَالَ أَوْ ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ  

My father and I went to Abu Barza-al-Aslami to ask him about the stated times for the prayers. He replied, "The Prophet ﷺ used to offer the Zuhr prayer when the sun just declined from its highest position at noon; the ʿAsr at a time when if a man went to the farthest place in Medina (after praying) he would find the sun still hot (bright). (The sub narrator said: I have forgotten what Abu Barza said about the Maghrib prayer). The Prophet ﷺ never found any harm in delaying the ʿIsha' prayer to the first third of the night and he never liked to sleep before it and to talk after it. He used to offer the morning prayer at a time when after finishing it one could recognize the person sitting beside him and used to recite between 60 to 100 verses in one or both the rakʿat."  

دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَبِي عَلَى أَبِي بَرْزَةَ الأَسْلَمِيِّ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَنْ وَقْتِ الصَّلَوَاتِ فَقَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ وَالْعَصْرَ وَيَرْجِعُ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى أَقْصَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَالشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ وَنَسِيتُ مَا قَالَ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ وَلاَ يُبَالِي بِتَأْخِيرِ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ وَلاَ يُحِبُّ النَّوْمَ قَبْلَهَا وَلاَ الْحَدِيثَ بَعْدَهَا وَيُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ فَيَنْصَرِفُ الرَّجُلُ فَيَعْرِفُ جَلِيسَهُ وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ أَوْ إِحْدَاهُمَا مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّينَ إِلَى الْمِائَةِ  

We used to pray the Maghrib prayer with the Prophet ﷺ when the sun disappeared from the horizon.  

كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الْمَغْرِبَ إِذَا تَوَارَتْ بِالْحِجَابِ  

We used to pray the Maghrib prayer with the Prophet ﷺ when the sun disappeared from the horizon. (Using translation from Bukhārī 561)  

كُنَّا نُصَلِّي الْمَغْرِبَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺإِذَا تَوَارَتْ بِالْحِجَابِ  

The reward of the congregational prayer is twenty seven times greater (than that of the prayer offered by a person alone).  

تَفْضُلُهَا بِسَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ دَرَجَةً  

Anas was asked, "Did Messenger of Allah ﷺ wear a ring?" He said, "Yes. Once he delayed the ʿIsha' prayer till midnight and after the prayer, he faced us and said, 'The people prayed and have slept and you remained in prayer as long as you waited for it.' " Anas added, "As if I were just now observing the glitter of his ring."  

سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ هَلِ اتَّخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَاتَمًا فَقَالَ نَعَمْ أَخَّرَ لَيْلَةً صَلاَةَ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ بَعْدَ مَا صَلَّى فَقَالَ صَلَّى النَّاسُ وَرَقَدُوا وَلَمْ تَزَالُوا فِي صَلاَةٍ مُنْذُ انْتَظَرْتُمُوهَا قَالَ فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَبِيصِ خَاتَمِهِ

سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ هَلِ اتَّخَذَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خَاتَمًا قَالَ أَخَّرَ لَيْلَةً صَلاَةَ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَبِيصِ خَاتَمِهِ قَالَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ صَلَّوْا وَنَامُوا وَإِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَزَالُوا فِي صَلاَةٍ مَا انْتَظَرْتُمُوهَا  

"Anas bin Malik was asked: 'Did the Prophet wear a ring?' He said: 'Yes.' One night he delayed the 'Isha' prayer until almost the middle of the night. When he had prayed, he turned to face us and said: 'The people have prayed and gone to sleep, but you will still be in a state of prayer so long as you are waiting for the (next) prayer.'" (Sahih)Anas said: "It was as if I can see the sparkle from his ring.'"  

سُئِلَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ هَلِ اتَّخَذَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خَاتَمًا قَالَ نَعَمْ أَخَّرَ لَيْلَةً الْعِشَاءَ الآخِرَةَ إِلَى قَرِيبٍ مِنْ شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ صَلَّوْا وَنَامُوا وَإِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَزَالُوا فِي صَلاَةٍ مَا انْتَظَرْتُمُ الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَبِيصِ خَاتَمِهِ  

[Machine] He was asked, "Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wear a ring?" He replied, "Yes, he would delay the Isha prayer until the middle of the night, then he would pray. After he finished praying, he turned his face towards the people and said, 'The people have prayed and gone to sleep, while you all have been in prayer since you waited for the prayer.' He said, 'It is as if I can see the white glow of his ring.'"  

سُئِلَ هَلِ اصْطَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَاتَمًا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَخَّرَ لَيْلَةً صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَلَمَّا صَلَّى أَقْبَلَ بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ صَلَّوْا وَنَامُوا وَإِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَزَالُوا فِي صَلَاةٍ مُنْذُ انْتَظَرْتُمُ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَبِيصِ خَاتَمِهِ  

"Anas was asked: 'Did the Prophet ﷺ use a ring?' He said: 'Yes. One night he delayed the later 'Isha' prayer, until almost halfway through the night. When he prayed the Prophet ﷺ turned his face toward us and said: 'You are still in a state of prayer so long as you waiting for it.'" Anas said: 'It is as if I can see the luster of his ring.' According to the narration of 'Ali - that is, Ibn Hujr - "until halfway through the night." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 539)  

سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ هَلِ اتَّخَذَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خَاتَمًا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَخَّرَ لَيْلَةً صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ إِلَى شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ صَلَّى أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَزَالُوا فِي صَلَاةٍ مَا انْتَظَرْتُمُوهَا» قَالَ أَنَسٌ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَبِيصِ خَاتَمِهِ  

Once on a very cold and stormy night, Ibn ʿUmar pronounced the Adhan for the prayer and then said, "Pray in your homes." He (Ibn ʿUmar) added. "On very cold and rainy nights Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to order the Mu'adh-dhin to say, 'Pray in your homes.' "  

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ الْمُؤَذِّنَ إِذَا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةٌ ذَاتُ بَرْدٍ وَمَطَرٍ يَقُولُ أَلاَ صَلُّوا فِي الرِّحَالِ  

Pray in your dwellings; and then said: When it was a cold, rainy night, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command the Mu'adhdhin to say" Pray in your dwellings."  

أَلاَ صَلُّوا فِي الرِّحَالِ ثُمَّ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُ الْمُؤَذِّنَ إِذَا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةٌ بَارِدَةٌ ذَاتُ مَطَرٍ يَقُولُ أَلاَ صَلُّوا فِي الرِّحَالِ  

"Pray where you are, for the Prophet ﷺused to order the Mu'adhdhin, if it was a cold and rainy night, to say: 'Pray in your dwellings.'"  

أَلاَ صَلُّوا فِي الرِّحَالِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ الْمُؤَذِّنَ إِذَا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةٌ بَارِدَةٌ ذَاتُ مَطَرٍ يَقُولُ أَلاَ صَلُّوا فِي الرِّحَالِ  

Ibn ‘Umar made the call to prayer on a cold and windy night. He then said: “Lo! Pray in the dwellings. “Afterwards he said: Whenever there was a cold or rainy day night, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command the mu’adhdin to announce: “Lo! Pray in the dwellings.”  

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ الْمُؤَذِّنَ إِذَا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةٌ بَارِدَةٌ أَوْ ذَاتُ مَطَرٍ يَقُولُ أَلاَ صَلُّوا فِي الرِّحَالِ  

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar called the adhan on a cold and windy night and included the phrase, "Do the prayer in shelter." Then he said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to orderthe muadhdhin to say, 'Do the prayerin shelter' when it was a cold, rainy night "  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ أَذَّنَ بِالصَّلاَةِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ ذَاتِ بَرْدٍ وَرِيحٍ فَقَالَ أَلاَ صَلُّوا فِي الرِّحَالِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ الْمُؤَذِّنَ إِذَا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةٌ بَارِدَةٌ ذَاتُ مَطَرٍ يَقُولُ أَلاَ صَلُّوا فِي الرِّحَالِ  

Pray in your dwellings; and then said: When it was a cold, rainy night, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command the Mu'adhdhin to say" Pray in your dwellings." (Using translation from Muslim 697a)  

أَلَا صَلُّوا فِي الرِّحَالِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ الْمُؤَذِّنَ إِذَا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةٌ بَارِدَةً ذَاتَ مَطَرٍ يَقُولُ «أَلَا صَلُّوا فِي الرِّحَالِ»  

as he was narrating about the period of Wahī (Revelation): "While I was walking, ˹suddenly˺ I heard a voice from the sky. I looked up and saw the same Angel who had visited me at the cave of Ḥirāʾ sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth. I got afraid of him, came back ˹home˺ and said, 'Cover me!' Then Allah ﷻ revealed: 'O you who covers himself [with a garment]' Arise and warn.' until His statement 'And idolatory, avoid.' (Muddaththir 74:1-5) After this the revelation started coming strongly, frequently and regularly."  

وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ فَتْرَةِ الْوَحْىِ فَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: «بَيْنَا أَنَا أَمْشِي، إِذْ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَرَفَعْتُ بَصَرِي، فَإِذَا الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي جَاءَنِي بِحِرَاءٍ جَالِسٌ عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ۔ فَرُعِبْتُ مِنْهُ فَرَجَعْتُ فَقُلْتُ زَمِّلُونِي! فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ * قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ}» إِلَى قَوْلِهِ «{وَالرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ} فَحَمِيَ الْوَحْىُ وَتَتَابَعَ۔»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ says, "Then the revelation was interrupted for some time. While I was walking, I heard a voice from the sky, so I looked up towards the sky and saw the angel who used to come to me sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth. I was terrified and fell to the ground. Then I went to my family and said, 'Cover me! Cover me!' So they covered me, and Allah the Almighty revealed the verse, 'O you who is enveloped, arise and warn, and your Lord glorify, and your garments purify, and the idols forsake' (Quran, Al-Muddathir 2). Abu Salamah said, 'Idols are referred to as "arrajz",' meaning false gods. Then the revelation continued."  

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ ثُمَّ فَتَرَ الْوَحْيُ عَنِّي فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَمْشِي سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَرَفَعْتُ بَصَرِي قِبَلَ السَّمَاءِ فَإِذَا الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَجِيئُنِي قَاعِدٌ عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ فَجَئِثْتُ مِنْهُ فَزِعًا حَتَّى هَوَيْتُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَجِئْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِي فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ زَمِّلُونِي فَزَمَّلُوهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ وَالرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ} [المدثر 2] قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ الرُّجْزُ الْأَوْثَانُ قَالَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ الْوَحْيُ بَعْدُ وَتَتَابَعَ  

Humaid said, "A man peeped into the house of the Prophet ﷺ and the Prophet ﷺ aimed an arrow head at him to hit him." I asked, "Who told you that?" He said, "Anas bin Malik" (See Hadith No. 258 and 259, Vol. 8)  

أَنَّ رَجُلاً اطَّلَعَ فِي بَيْتِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَدَّدَ إِلَيْهِ مِشْقَصًا فَقُلْتُ مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ قَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ
