Narrated Sahl ibn al-Hanzaliyyah: The iqamah for the morning prayer was pronounced and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to offer prayer while he was looking at the mountain-pass. (Abu Dawud elaborated that the Prophet had sent a horseman to the mountain-pass at night in order to keep watch. )

حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَّامٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَلَّامٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي السَّلُولِيُّ هُوَ أَبُو كَبْشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَهْلِ ابْنِ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ثُوِّبَ بِالصَّلَاةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَعْنِي صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ"يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى الشِّعْبِ". قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وَكَانَ أَرْسَلَ فَارِسًا إِلَى الشِّعْبِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يَحْرُسُ.

Abu Qatadah said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was leading the people in prayer with Umamah daughter of Zainab daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ (in his lap). When he prostrated, he put her down and when he got up (after prostration) he lifted her up.

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ"كَانَ يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ حَامِلٌ أُمَامَةَ بِنْتَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا سَجَدَ وَضَعَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا قَامَ حَمَلَهَا".

Narrated Abu Qatadah: We were sitting in the mosque when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came upon us carrying Umamah daughter of Abul As ibn ar-Rabi. Her mother was Zaynab daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She (Umamah) was a child and he (the Prophet) was carrying her on his shoulder. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led (the people) in prayer while she was on his shoulder. When he bowed he put her down and took her up when he got up. He kept on doing so until he finished his prayer.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ بَيْنَا نَحْنُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ جُلُوسٌ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَحْمِلُ أُمَامَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ وَأُمُّهَا زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهِيَ صَبِيَّةٌ يَحْمِلُهَا عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏"فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهِيَ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ يَضَعُهَا إِذَا رَكَعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيُعِيدُهَا إِذَا قَامَ حَتَّى قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ بِهَا".

Abu Qatadah al-Ansari said: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ leading the people in prayer with Umamah daughter of Abu al-As on his neck (shoulder). When he prostrated, he put her down. Abu Dawud said: The narrator Makhramah did not hear from his father except one tradition.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْمُرَادِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَخْرَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُأَبَا قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ"يُصَلِّي لِلنَّاسِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأُمَامَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي الْعَاصِ عَلَى عُنُقِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا سَجَدَ وَضَعَهَا". قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ مَخْرَمَةُ مِنْ أَبِيهِ إِلَّا حَدِيثًا وَاحِدًا.

Abu Qatadah, a Companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, said: While we were waiting for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for the noon or afternoon prayer, and Bilal had already called him for prayer, he came upon us with Umamah daughter of Abu al-As and daughter of his daughter on his neck. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood at the place of prayer and we stood behind him and she (Umamah) (all this time) was in her place. He uttered the takbir and we also uttered. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to bow, he took her and put her down, and then he bowed and prostrated till he finished his prostration. He then got up and took her and returned he to her place. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept on doing that in every rak’ah until he finished his prayer. May peace be upon him.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاقَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْعَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نَنْتَظِرُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلصَّلَاةِ فِي الظُّهْرِ أَوِ الْعَصْرِ وَقَدْ دَعَاهُ بِلَالٌ لِلصَّلَاةِ إِذْ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا وَأُمَامَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي الْعَاصِ بِنْتُ ابْنَتِهِ عَلَى عُنُقِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏"فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ وَقُمْنَا خَلْفَهُ وَهِيَ فِي مَكَانِهَا الَّذِي هِيَ فِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَكَبَّرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكَبَّرْنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَتَّى إِذَا أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ أَخَذَهَا فَوَضَعَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ رَكَعَ وَسَجَدَ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ سُجُودِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَامَ أَخَذَهَا فَرَدَّهَا فِي مَكَانِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَا زَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصْنَعُ بِهَا ذَلِكَ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ".

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ said: Kill the two black things during prayer, the snake and scorpion.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ضَمْضَمِ بْنِ جَوْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ "اقْتُلُوا الْأَسْوَدَيْنِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ:‏‏‏‏ الْحَيَّةَ وَالْعَقْرَبَ".

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was praying with his door bolted. I came and asked to have the door opened. He walked and opened the door for me. He then returned to his place for prayer. He (the narrator Urwah) mentioned that the door faced the qiblah.

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمُسَدَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهَذَا لَفْظُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُفَضَّلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا بُرْدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْعُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ،‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ "كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَحْمَدُ:‏‏‏‏ يُصَلِّي وَالْبَابُ عَلَيْهِ مُغْلَقٌ فَجِئْتُ فَاسْتَفْتَحْتُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَحْمَدُ:‏‏‏‏ فَمَشَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَفَتَحَ لِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى مُصَلَّاهُ". وَذَكَرَ أَنَّ الْبَابَ كَانَ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ.

Abdullah (bin Masud) said: We used to salute the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was engaged in prayer and he would respond to our salutation, but when we returned from the Negas, we saluted him and he did not respond to us. He said: Prayer demands one’s whole attention.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا نُسَلِّمُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ"فَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْنَا"، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّجَاشِيِّ سَلَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ لَشُغْلًا.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: We used to salute during prayer and talk about our needs. I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and found him praying. I saluted him, but he did not respond to me. I recalled what happened to me in the past and in the present. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he said to me: Allah, the Almighty, creates new command as He wishes, and Allah, the Exalted, has sent a fresh command that you must not talk during prayer. He then returned my salutation.

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا نُسَلِّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَنَأْمُرُ بِحَاجَتِنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ السَّلَامَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَخَذَنِي مَا قَدُمَ وَمَا حَدُثَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّلَاةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحْدِثُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ مَا يَشَاءُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَزَّ قَدْ أَحْدَثَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ أَنْ لَا تَكَلَّمُوا فِي الصَّلَاةِ". فَرَدَّ عَلَيَّ السَّلَامَ.

Narrated Suhayb: I passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who was praying. I saluted him and he returned it by making a sign. The narrator said: I do not know but that he said: He made a sign with his finger. This is the version reported by Qutaybah.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ اللَّيْثَ حَدَّثَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ بُكَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ نَابِلٍ صَاحِبِ الْعَبَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْابْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَرَرْتُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ"فَرَدَّ إِشَارَةً"، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَلَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِشَارَةً بِأُصْبُعِهِ. وَهَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ قُتَيْبَةَ.
