The noble wife of the Prophet, Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to lead prayer on a small mat. This is the narration of Sa‘id bin ‘Abdur-Rahman, and the wording of the narration of Yusuf is as follows: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray on his small mat which had been spread out in his prayer place, while I would be lying beside him. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) would prostrate, his clothes would touch my clothes even though I was in a state of menstruation.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Kulthum bint Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to pray on a small mat.
