Volume 2 Book 22 Hadith 297

Volume 2, Book 22, Number 297:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
While Abu Bakr was leading the people in the morning prayer on a Monday, the Prophet came to –
wards them suddenly having lifted the curtain of ‘Aisha’s house, and looked at them as they were
standing in rows and smiled. Abu Bakr tried to come back thinking that Allah’s Apostle wanted to
come out for the prayer. The attention of the Muslims was diverted from the prayer because they
were delighted to see the Prophet. The Prophet waved his hand to them to complete their prayer,
then he went back into the room and let down the curtain. The Prophet expired on that very day.

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “A woman called her son while he was in his hermitage and said, ‘O Juraij’ He
said, ‘O Allah, my mother (is calling me) and (I am offering) my prayer (what shall I do)?’ She again
said, ‘O Juraij!’ He said again, ‘O Allah ! My mother (is calling me) and (I am offering) my prayer
(what shall I do)?’ She again said, ‘O Juraij’ He again said, ‘O Allah! My mother (is calling me) and (I
am offering) my prayer. (What shall I do?)’ She said, ‘O Allah! Do not let Juraij die till he sees the
faces of prostitutes.’ A shepherdess used to come by his hermitage for grazing her sheep and she gave
birth to a child. She was asked whose child that was, and she replied that it was from Juraij and that
he had come out from his hermitage. Juraij said, ‘Where is that woman who claims that her child is
from me?’ (When she was brought to him along with the child), Juraij asked the child, ‘O Babus, who
is your father?’ The child replied, ‘The shepherd.’ ” (See Hadith No 662. Vol 3).

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 2 > BOOK 22: ACTIONS WHILE PRAYING
I used to stretch my legs towards the Qibla of the Prophet while he was praying; whenever he
prostrated he touched me, and I would withdraw my legs, and whenever he stood up, I would re –
stretch my legs.

Volume 2 Book 22 Hadith 301

Volume 2, Book 22, Number 301:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet once offered the prayer and said, “Satan came in front of me and tried to interrupt my
prayer, but Allah gave me an upper hand on him and I choked him. No doubt, I thought of tying him
to one of the pillars of the mosque till you get up in the morning and see him. Then I remembered
the statement of Prophet Solomon, ‘My Lord ! Bestow on me a kingdom such as shall not belong to
any other after me.’ Then Allah made him (Satan) return with his head down (humiliated).”

Volume 2 Book 22 Hadith 302

Volume 2, Book 22, Number 302:
Narrated Al-Azraq bin Qais:
We were at Al-Ahwaz fighting the AlHaruriya (tribe). While I was at the bank of a river a man
was praying and the reins of his animal were in his hands and the animal was struggling and he was
following the animal. (Shu’ba, a sub-narrator, said that man was Abu Barza al-Aslaml). A man from
the Khawarij said, “O Allah! Be harsh to this sheik.” And when the sheik (Abu Barza) finished his
prayer, he said, “I heard your remark. No doubt, I participated with Allah’s Apostle in six or seven or
eight holy battles and saw his leniency, and no doubt, I would rather retain my animal than let it re –
turn to its stable, as it would cause me much trouble. “

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 mid-night 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 re –
cited the last ten verses of Surat-Al Imran (2). Then he went towards a hanging leather water-con –
tainer 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
Rakat, then two Rakat, then two Rakat, then two Rakat, then two Rakat, then two Rakat and then
offered one Raka Witr. Then he lay down till the Muadh-dhin came and then he prayed two light
Rakat and went out and offered the early morning (Fajr) prayer.”
