It was narrated that Abu Qatadah Al-Ansari said: "I saw the Prophet (s.a.w) leading the people in prayer, and Umamah bint Abi AI-'As, who has the daughter of Zainab, the daughter of the Messenger of AIlah (s.a.w), was on his shoulder. When he bowed, he put her down, and when he stood up from prostrating he picked her up."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِى عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِى سُلَيْمَانَ وَابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ سَمِعَا عَامِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ الزُّرَقِىِّ عَنْ أَبِى قَتَادَةَ الأَنْصَارِىِّ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَؤُمُّ النَّاسَ وَأُمَامَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِى الْعَاصِ وَهْىَ ابْنَةُ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ فَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَضَعَهَا وَإِذَا رَفَعَ مِنَ السُّجُودِ أَعَادَهَا.

Abu Qatadah Al-Ansari said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) leading the people in prayer with Umamah bint Abi AI-As on his shoulder, and when he prostrated, he put her down."

حَدَّثَنِى أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ مَخْرَمَةَ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ ح قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَيْلِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِى مَخْرَمَةُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ الزُّرَقِىِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ الأَنْصَارِىَّ يَقُولُ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يُصَلِّى لِلنَّاسِ وَأُمَامَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِى الْعَاصِ عَلَى عُنُقِهِ فَإِذَا سَجَدَ وَضَعَهَا.

'Abdul-'Aziz bin Abi Hazim narrated from his father, that a group of people came to Sahl bin Sa'd, and they had differed concerning the Minbar (of the Prophet's Mosque) and what kind of wood it was made of. He said: "By Allah, I know what kind of wood it is made of, and who made it, and I saw the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) the first day he sat on it." I said to him:· "O Abu 'Abbas, tell us." He said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) sent word to a woman" - and Abu Hazim said: "He named her that day" - saying: "Have your carpenter slave make me something of wood from which I may speak to the people." So he made these three steps, then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) ordered that it be placed in this spot. It is made of tamarisk wood from Ghabah. I saw the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) standing on it and saying the Takbir, and the people behind him said the Takblr, and he was on the Minbar. Then he raised his head (from bowing), then he moved backwards and prostrated at the foot of the Minbar, then he repeated (his actions), until he had finished his prayer. Then he turned to the people and said: 'O people, I only did this so that you could follow me and learn my prayer."'

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِى حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ نَفَرًا جَاءُوا إِلَى سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَدْ تَمَارَوْا فِى الْمِنْبَرِ مِنْ أَىِّ عُودٍ هُوَ فَقَالَ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ إِنِّى لأَعْرِفُ مِنْ أَىِّ عُودٍ هُوَ وَمَنْ عَمِلَهُ وَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ جَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ - قَالَ - فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَا عَبَّاسٍ فَحَدِّثْنَا. قَالَ أَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ قَالَ أَبُو حَازِمٍ إِنَّهُ لَيُسَمِّيهَا يَوْمَئِذٍ « انْظُرِى غُلاَمَكِ النَّجَّارَ يَعْمَلْ لِى أَعْوَادًا أُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا ». فَعَمِلَ هَذِهِ الثَّلاَثَ دَرَجَاتٍ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَوُضِعَتْ هَذَا الْمَوْضِعَ فَهْىَ مِنْ طَرْفَاءِ الْغَابَةِ. وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَامَ عَلَيْهِ فَكَبَّرَ وَكَبَّرَ النَّاسُ وَرَاءَهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَنَزَلَ الْقَهْقَرَى حَتَّى سَجَدَ فِى أَصْلِ الْمِنْبَرِ ثُمَّ عَادَ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ آخِرِ صَلاَتِهِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ « يَا أُيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّى صَنَعْتُ هَذَا لِتَأْتَمُّوا بِى وَلِتَعَلَّمُوا صَلاَتِى ».

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (s.a.w) forbade a man to offer prayers with his hands on his waist. According to the report of Abu Bakr he said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) forbade..."

وَحَدَّثَنِى الْحَكَمُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْقَنْطَرِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ح قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ وَأَبُو أُسَامَةَ جَمِيعًا عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَنَّهُ نَهَى أَنْ يُصَلِّىَ الرَّجُلُ مُخْتَصِرًا. وَفِى رِوَايَةِ أَبِى بَكْرٍ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-.

It was narrated from Abu Salamah that Al-Mu'ayqib said: "The Prophet (s.a.w) mentioned smoothing the pebbles in the Masjid and said: 'If you must do that, then do it only once."'

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتَوَائِىُّ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِى كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِى سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُعَيْقِيبٍ قَالَ ذَكَرَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- الْمَسْحَ فِى الْمَسْجِدِ - يَعْنِى الْحَصَى - قَالَ « إِنْ كُنْتَ لاَ بُدَّ فَاعِلاً فَوَاحِدَةً ».

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) saw some sputum on the wall of the Qiblah. He scratched it then he turned to the people and said: "If one of you is in prayers, let him not spit in front of him, for Allah is m front of him when he prays."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِىُّ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- رَأَى بُصَاقًا فِى جِدَارِ الْقِبْلَةِ فَحَكَّهُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ « إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ يُصَلِّى فَلاَ يَبْصُقْ قِبَلَ وَجْهِهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قِبَلَ وَجْهِهِ إِذَا صَلَّى ».

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Prophet (s.a.w) saw some sputum in the Qiblah of the Masjid. He scratched it with a pebble then he forbade a man to spit to his right or in front of him, rather he should spit to his left or beneath his left foot.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ جَمِيعًا عَنْ سُفْيَانَ - قَالَ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ - عَنِ الزُّهْرِىِّ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِى سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِىِّ أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- رَأَى نُخَامَةً فِى قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَحَكَّهَا بِحَصَاةٍ ثُمَّ نَهَى أَنْ يَبْزُقَ الرَّجُلُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ أَوْ أَمَامَهُ وَلَكِنْ يَبْزُقُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ الْيُسْرَى.

It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Prophet (s.a.w) saw some mucus or sputum or spittle on the wall of the Qiblah, and he scratched it.

وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ فِيمَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- رَأَى بُصَاقًا فِى جِدَارِ الْقِبْلَةِ أَوْ مُخَاطًا أَوْ نُخَامَةً فَحَكَّهُ.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) saw some sputum in the Qiblah of the Masjid. He turned to the people and said: "What is the matter with one of you who stands before his Lord and spits in front of him? Would any one of you like to have someone stand before him and spit in his face? If one of you must spit, then let him spit to his left, beneath his foot. If he cannot do that, then let him do like this," and Al-Qasim described how he spat into his garment then rubbed part of it against another part.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِى رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- رَأَى نُخَامَةً فِى قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ « مَا بَالُ أَحَدِكُمْ يَقُومُ مُسْتَقْبِلَ رَبِّهِ فَيَتَنَخَّعُ أَمَامَهُ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يُسْتَقْبَلَ فَيُتَنَخَّعَ فِى وَجْهِهِ فَإِذَا تَنَخَّعَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَتَنَخَّعْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَلْيَقُلْ هَكَذَا ». وَوَصَفَ الْقَاسِمُ فَتَفَلَ فِى ثَوْبِهِ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بَعْضَهُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ.

A Hadith similar to that of Ibn 'Ulayyah (no. 1228) was narrated from Abu Hurairah from the Prophet (s.a.w). The Hadith of Hushaim adds: "Abu Hurairah said: 'It is as if I can see the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), rubbing part of his garment against another part."'

وَحَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ ح قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ح قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ كُلُّهُمْ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِى رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-. نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ وَزَادَ فِى حَدِيثِ هُشَيْمٍ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ كَأَنِّى أَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَرُدُّ ثَوْبَهُ بَعْضَهُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ.
