Bk. 22: Actions while Praying
2.289:
Narrated Kuraib Maula Ibn `Abbas: `Abdullah bin `Abbas said
that he had passed a night in the house of Maimuna the mother
of the faithful believers , who was his aunt. He said, "I
slept across the bed, and Allah's Apostle along with his wife
slept lengthwise. Allah's Apostle slept till midnight or
slightly before or after it. Then Allah's Apostle woke up,
sat, and removed the traces of sleep by rubbing his hands over
his face. Then he recited the last ten verses of Surat−Al
`Imran (2). Then he went towards a hanging leather
water−container and performed a perfect ablution and then
stood up for prayer." `Abdullah bin `Abbas added, "I got up
and did the same as Allah's Apostle had done and then went and
stood by his side. Allah's Apostle then put his right hand
over my head and caught my right ear and twisted it. He
offered two rak`at, then two rak`at, then two rak`at, then two
rak`at, then two rak`at, then two rak`at and then offered one
rak`a witr. Then he lay down till the Mu'adh−dhin came and
then he prayed two light rak`at and went out and offered the
early morning (Fajr) prayer."
2.290:
Narrated `Abdullah: We used to greet the Prophet while he was
praying and he used to answer our greetings. When we returned
from An−Najashi (the ruler of Ethiopia), we greeted him, but
he did not answer us (during the prayer) and (after finishing
the prayer) he said, "In the prayer one is occupied (with a
more serious matter)."
2.291:
Narrated `Abdullah The same as No. 290. from the Prophet.
2.292:
Narrated Zaid bin Arqam: In the lifetime of the Prophet we
used to speak while praying, and one of us would tell his
needs to his companions, till the verse, 'Guard strictly your
prayers (2.238) was revealed. After that we were ordered to
remain silent while praying.
2.293:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: The Prophet went out to affect a
reconciliation between the tribes of Bani `Amr bin `Auf and
the time of the prayer became due; Bilal went to Abu Bakr and
said, "The Prophet is detained. Will you lead the people in
the prayer?" Abu Bakr replied, "Yes, if you wish." So Bilal
pronounced the Iqama and Abu Bakr led the prayer. In the
meantime the Prophet came crossing the rows (of the praying
people) till he stood in the first row and the people started
clapping. Abu Bakr never looked hither and thither during the
prayer but when the people clapped too much, he looked back
and saw the Prophet in the (first) row. The Prophet waved him
to remain at his place, but Abu Bakr raised both his hands and
sent praises to Allah and then retreated and the Prophet went
forward and led the prayer. (See Hadith No. 295 & 296)
2.294:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud: We used to say the greeting,
name and greet each other in the prayer. Allah's Apostle heard
it and said:−−"Say, 'at−tahiyyatu lil−lahi was−salawatu
wat−taiyibatu . Assalamu 'Alaika aiyuha−n−Nabiyu
wa−rahmatu−l−lahi wa−barakatuhu. _ Assalamu alaina wa−'ala
'ibadi−l−lahi as−salihin.. Ashhadu an la ilaha illa−l−lah wa
ashhadu anna Muhammadan `Abdu hu wa Rasuluh. (All the
compliments are for Allah and all the prayers and all the good
things (are for Allah). Peace be on you, O Prophet, and
Allah's mercy and blessings (are on you). And peace be on us
and on the good (pious) worshipers of Allah. I testify that
none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that
Muhammad is His slave and Apostle.) So, when you have said
this, then you have surely sent the greetings to every good
(pious) worship per of Allah, whether he be in the Heaven or
on the Earth . "
