حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى قَالَ: رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَبْلًا مَمْدُودًا بَيْنَ سَارِيَتَيْنِ، فَقَالَ: " لِمَنْ هَذَا؟ " قَالُوا: لِحَمْنَةَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ تُصَلِّي، (٢) فَإِذَا عَجَزَتْ تَعَلَّقَتْ بِهِ، فَقَالَ: " لِتُصَلِّي مَا أطَاقَتْ، (٣) فَإِذَا عَجَزَتْ فَلْتَقْعُدْ " (٤)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) once entered the mosque and saw a rope hanging between two pillars. He asked, "What is this rope?" The people replied, "This is Zainab's rope. When she feels lazy or tired while praying, she ties herself to it." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Untie it." Then he said, "When any one of you prays, he should pray as long as he is energetic, and when he feels lazy or tired, he should stop."
