The Book of
the Qiblah from Sunan An-Nasa’i
743 Al-Bara’
bin ‘Azib said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) came to Al-Madinah and prayed
toward Bait Al-Maqdis for sixteen months, then he was commanded to face toward
the Ka’bah. A man who had prayed with the Prophet (saw) passed by some of the
Ansar and said: ‘I bear witness that the Messenger of Allah (saw) has been
commanded to face toward the Ka’bah.’ So they turned to face the Ka’bah.’”
(Sahih)
744 It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) used to pray atop
his mount while traveling, facing whatever direction it was facing.”
(One of the narrators) Malik said: “Abdullah bin Dinar
said: ‘And Ibn ‘Umar used to do likewise.’” (Sahih)
745 It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) used to pray atop
his mount when traveling, facing whatever direction it was facing, and he would
pray Witr atop it, but he did not pray the prescribed prayers stop it.” (Sahih)
746 It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: “While the people were in Quba’, praying Subh
prayer, someone came to them and said that Revelation had come to the Messenger
of Allah (saw) the night before, and he had been commanded to face the Ka’bah.
So face toward it. They had been facing toward Ash-Sham, so they turned to face
toward the Ka’bah.” (Sahih)
747 It was
narrated that ‘Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: “The Messenger of
Allah (saw) was asked during the campaign of Tabuk about the Sutrah of one who
is praying. He said: ‘Something as high as the back of a camel saddle.’”
(Sahih)
748 It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Umar concerning the Messenger of Allah (saw) he said: “He
used to set up a short spear then pray facing toward it.” (Sahih)
749 It was
narrated that Sahl bin Abi Hathmah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘When
any one of you prays toward a Sutrah, let him get close to it and not allow the
Shaitan to sever his prayer for him.’” (Sahih)
750 It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah (saw) entered the
Ka’bah with Usamah bin Zaid, Bilal and ‘Uthman bin Talhah Al-Hajabi, and locked
the door behind him. ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar said: “I asked Bilal when he came out:
‘What did the Messenger of Allah (saw) do?’ He said: ‘He stood with one pillar
to his left, two pillars to his right and three pillars behind him – at that
time the House stood on six pillars – and he prayed with approximately three
forearm’s lengths between him and the wall.’” (Sahih)
751 It was
narrated that Abu Dharr said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘When any one
of you stands to pray, then he is screened if he has in front of him something
as high as the back of a camel saddle. If he does not have something as high as
the back of a camel saddle in front of him, then his prayer is nullified by a
woman, a donkey or a black dog.’ I (one of the narrators) said: “What is the
difference between a black dog, a yellow one and a red one?” He said: I asked
the Messenger of Allah (saw) just like you asked me and He said: ‘The black dog
is a Shaitan.’” (Sahih)
752 It was
narrated that Qatadah said: “I said to Jabir bin Zaid: ‘What invalidates
prayer?’ He said: ‘Ibn ‘Abbas used to say: A menstruating woman* and a dog.’
(One of the narrators) Yahya said: “Shu’bah said it was a Marfu’ report.”
(Sahih)
Meaning, the period of menstruation.
753 It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “Al-Fadl and I came riding a female donkey of
ours, and the Messenger of Allah (saw) was leading the people in prayer at ‘Arafah.”
Then he said something to that effect. “We passed by part of the row, then we
dismounted and left the donkey grazing, and the Messenger of Allah(saw) did not
say anything to us.” (Sahih)
754 It was
narrated that Al-Fadl bin ‘Abbas said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) visited
Al-‘Abbas in some land of ours outside the city, and we had a small dog and a
donkey which was grazing. The Messenger of Allah (saw) prayed ‘Asr and they
were in front of him, and they were not shooed away or pushed away.” (Da’if)
755 It was
narrated that Suhaib said: “I heard Ibn ‘Abbas narrate that he passed in front
of the Messenger of Allah (saw), he and a young boy of Banu Hashim, riding a
donkey in front of the Messenger of Allah (saw) when he was praying. Then they
dismounted and joined the prayer, and he did not stop praying. Then two young
girls of Banu ‘Abdul-Muttalib started running around and grabbing him by the
knees. He separated them but he did not stop praying.” (Hasan)
756 It was
narrated that ‘Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: “I was in front of
the Messenger of Allah (saw) when he was praying, and when I wanted to leave I
did not want to get up and pass in front of him, so I just slipped away slowly
and quietly.”* (Sahih)
*See 508 and 511 of Al-Bukhari where he uses these
narrations to prove what one may use for a Sutrah. As for passing in front of
the praying person, it is said that her slipping away after staying in front of
him is not the same as one who passes – from one side to the other – in front
of the praying person.
757 It was
narrated from Busr bin Sa’eed that Zaid bin Khalid sent him to Abu Juhaim to
ask him what he had heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say about one who passes
in front of a person who is praying? Abu Juhaim said: “The Messenger of Allah
(saw) said: ‘If the one who passes in front of a person who is praying knew
what (burden of sin) there is on him, standing for forty would be better for
him than passing in front of him.” (Sahih)
758 It was
narrated from Abu Sa’eed that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “If any one of
you is praying, he should not let anyone pass in front of him, and if he
insists (on passing) then let him fight him.” (Sahih)
759 It was
narrated from Kathir bin Kathir, from his father, that his grandfather said: “I
saw the Messenger of Allah (saw) circumambulate the House seven times, then he
prayed two Rak’ahs at the edge of the Maqam, and there was nothing between him
and the people who were performing Tawaf.” (Da’if)
760 It was
narrated that ‘Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) used to pray at night
while I was lying down sleeping between him and the Qiblah on his bed. When he
wanted to pray Witr he would wake me up and I would pray Witr.” (Sahih)
761 It was
narrated that Abu Marthad Al-Ghanawi said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘Do
not pray toward graves and do not sit on them.’” (Sahih)
762 It was
narrated that ‘Aishah said: “In my house there was a cloth on which there were
images, which I covered a closet which is in the house, and the Messenger of
Allah (saw) used to pray toward it. Then he said: ‘O ‘Aishah, take it away from
me.’ So I removed it and made pillows out of it.” (Sahih)
763 It was
narrated that ‘Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) had a mat which he
would spread in the day and make into a small booth at night to pray in it. The
people found out about that and they prayed when he prayed, with the mat in
between him and them. He said: ‘Do as much of good deeds as you can, for Allah
does not get tired (of giving reward) until you get tired. And the most beloved
of deeds to Allah are those that are continuous, even if they are few.’ Then he
stopped that prayer and did not return to it until Allah took him (in death),
and if he started to do something he would persist in it.” (Sahih)
764 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that someone asked the Messenger of Allah (saw)
about praying in a single garment, and he said: ‘Does every one of you have two
garments?’” (Sahih)
765 It was
narrated from ‘Umar bin Abi Salamah that he saw the Messenger of Allah (saw)
praying in a single garment in the house of Umm Salamah, putting the ends of it
on his shoulders. (Sahih)
766 It was
narrated that Salamah bin Al-Akwa’ said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I go
hunting wearing nothing but a single shirt. Can I pray in it?’ He said: ‘Fasten
it to yourself even with a thorn.’” (Hasan)
767 It was
narrated that Sahl bin Sa’d said: “Some men used to pray with the Messenger of
Allah (saw) tying their lower garments tight like children, and it was said to
the women: ‘Do not raise your heads until the men have sat up completely.’”
(Sahih)
768 It was
narrated that ‘Amr bin Salamah said: “When my people came back from the Prophet
(saw) they said that he had said: ‘Let the one who recites the Qur’an most lead
you in prayer.’ So they called me and taught me how to bow and prostrate, and I
used to lead them in prayer, wearing a torn cloak, and they used to say to my
father: ‘Will you not conceal your son’s backside from us?’” (Sahih)
769 It was
narrated that ‘Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) used to pray at night
when I was beside him and I was menstruating, and there was a garment over me,
part of which was over the Messenger of Allah (saw).” (Sahih)
770 It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘No one of
you should pray in a single garment with no part of it on his shoulder.’”
(Sahih)
771 It was
narrated that ‘Uqbah bin ‘Amr said: “A silken Farruj* was presented to the
Messenger of Allah (saw) and he put it on and offered prayer in it, then when
he had finished the prayer he tore it off as if he disliked it and said: ‘This
is not befitting for those who have Taqwa.’” (Sahih)
*Farruj: A kind of garment with narrow sleeves and waist,
and slit at the back.
772 It was
narrated from ‘Aishah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) prayed in a Khamisah
that had markings, then he said: “These markings distracted me. Take it to Abu
Jahm and bring me his Anbijani (A woolen garment with no markings).”
773 It was
narrated from ‘Awn bin Abi Juhaifah, from his father, that the Messenger of
Allah (saw) went out in a red Hullah,* and he set up a short spear (‘Anazah)
and prayed facing toward it, while dogs, women and donkeys were passing beyond
it. (Sahih)
*Usually referring to two pieces made of the same
material.
774 Khilas bin
‘Amr said: “I heard ‘Aishah say: ‘The Messenger of Allah (saw), Abu Al-Qasim,
and I were beneath a single blanket, and I was menstruating. If something got
on him from me, he would wash whatever had got on him and he did not wash
anywhere else, and he prayed in it then came back to me. And if anything got on
him from me, he would do exactly the same and he did not wash anywhere else.’”
(Hasan)
775 It was
narrated that Hammam said: “I saw Jarir urinate, then he called for water and
performed Wudhu’, and wiped over his Khuffs, then he stood up and prayed. He
was asked about that and he said: ‘I saw the Prophet (saw) do exactly like
this.’” (Sahih)
776 Abu
Maslamah – whose name was Sa’eed bin Yazid, a trustworthy Basri – told us: “I
asked Anas bin Malik: ‘Did the Prophet (saw) pray in sandals?’ He said: ‘Yes.’”
(Sahih)
777 It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin As-Sa’ib that the Messenger of Allah (saw) prayed
on the day of the Conquest (of Makkah), and he put his sandals to his left.
(Sahih)
