Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I set out for Hajj with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he continued to perform the prayer as two rak‘ahs until he returned to Madinah. Yahya says: I asked Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him),“How many days did you stay in Makkah?”He replied,“Ten days.”

Sayyiduna Alaa bin Hadrami (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: After completing Hajj, a Muhajir can stay in Makkah for three days.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) needed to set out early for a journey, he would combine Maghrib and Isha prayers.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to offer voluntary prayers on his mount, facing whichever direction it was facing. But when he intended to perform an obligatory prayer, he would dismount and face the Qiblah.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates that I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performing voluntary prayers on his mount facing every direction. He was praying by gesturing, and in prostration, he would lower his head more than in bowing.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) fell from a horse, so there were scratches on his right side. We went to visit him, and the time for prayer came, so he led the prayer sitting, and we also prayed sitting behind him. After completing the prayer, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The imam is appointed only to be followed. When he says the takbir, you also say the takbir; when he bows (in ruku‘), you also bow; and when he raises his head from ruku‘, you also raise your heads. When he says «سمع الله لمن حمده» (Allah has heard the one who praises Him), you say «ربنا ولك الحمد» (Our Lord, all praise is for You). When he prays sitting, you also pray sitting.

Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about praying while sitting. He said: The one who prays standing is superior. Whoever prays sitting receives half the reward of the one who stands, and whoever prays lying down receives half the reward of the one who sits. Muhammad bin Yahya also narrated it in the same way from Yazid bin Harun.

Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I had a tumor (cancer), so I asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about (performing) prayer. He said: Perform prayer standing; if you are not able, then perform it sitting; if you are not able to do even that, then perform it lying down.

Sayyiduna Abu Ayyash Zurqi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that at the place of Usfan, we were with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) facing the polytheists. Their commander was Sayyiduna Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him), who had not yet embraced Islam. They were positioned between us and the Qiblah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the Zuhr prayer. The polytheists said: "They (the Muslims) were in such a state that we could have taken advantage of their heedlessness." Then they said: "Another prayer is about to come upon them, which is dearer to them than their lives and their sons." Jibreel (peace be upon him) descended with this verse between the Zuhr and Asr prayers: «فَإِذَا كُنْتَ فِيهِمْ فَأَقَمْتَ لَهُمُ الصَّلَاةَ» (When you are among them and lead them in prayer... etc.). The narrator says: When the time for prayer came, by the order of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), they picked up their weapons. Then we formed two rows behind him. He bowed (in ruku‘), and we all bowed. When he rose from ruku‘, we also rose. Then those in the first row performed prostration (sajdah) with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while those in the second row stood guarding them. When the first row finished their prostration and stood up, the second row sat in their place and performed prostration. Then the rear row came forward and the front row moved back. Then all of us bowed (in ruku‘) with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and rose from ruku‘. Then those in the first row performed prostration with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while those in the second row stood guarding them. When the first row finished their prostration and sat, the second row also performed prostration. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said the salam and left. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the prayer (of fear) in this manner twice: once at Usfan and once in the region of Banu Sulaym. ‘Ata and Abu Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them both) have also narrated this prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led one group in one rak’ah of the prayer of fear, while the other group was facing the enemy. Then the first group went and stood facing the enemy in place of their companions, and they (the second group) came (for prayer). So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led them in one rak’ah as well, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said salam, and both groups completed one rak’ah each (on their own).
