Sayyiduna Abu Juhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in a red leather tent, and I saw Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) that he brought water for ablution for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and I saw the people that they began to take that ablution (water) hand to hand. Then whoever got some of it would rub it on his face, and whoever did not get any would take moisture from his companion’s hand. Then I saw Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) that he picked up a small spear and fixed it in the ground, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came out wearing a red garment (lifting his cloak), and performed two rak‘ahs of prayer with the people towards the spear, and I saw the people and animals passing in front of the spear (here the spear or ‘anza was used as a sutrah).

Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked,“What was the (Prophet’s) pulpit made of?”He replied,“There is no one among the people who knows this matter better than me (now). It was made of tamarisk wood from the forest of Ghaba. A slave woman’s servant made it for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When it was constructed and placed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood on it, faced the Qiblah, and said the opening Takbir. The people stood behind him. Then he recited (Qur’an), bowed (in Ruku’), and the people bowed behind him. Then he raised his blessed head, then stepped back until he prostrated on the ground. Then he ascended the pulpit again, recited (Qur’an), bowed, then raised his head and stepped back until he prostrated on the ground. Thus, this was the story of the pulpit.”

Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that his grandmother, Malikah (may Allah be pleased with her), invited the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to eat, which she had specially prepared for him. So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ate from it, then said: "Stand up, I will pray for you." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I turned to a mat of mine which had become black due to excessive use, so I washed it with water. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood on it, and I and an orphan formed a row behind him, and the old woman was behind us. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) led us in two rak‘ahs and then returned.

‘Aisha, the Mother of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), says: I used to sleep in front of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and my feet would be in the place where he performed prostration. When he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would prostrate, he would press me, and I would draw in my feet. When he stood up, I would stretch them out again. Umm al-Mu’minin ‘Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says: At that time, there were no lamps in the houses.

Umm al-Mu'mineen Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray on his bedding at home, and she (i.e., Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her) would be lying on the bedding between him (peace be upon him) and the place of prostration, in the manner of a bier.

Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says that we used to pray with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and some of us would spread the edge of our garment on the place of prostration because of the intense heat.

Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says: "Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) pray while wearing his shoes?" He replied: "Yes! (He used to pray with them on)."

Hammam bin Harith says: I saw Sayyiduna Jarir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) urinating, then he performed ablution and wiped over his socks, then stood up to pray. After the prayer, people asked him about this matter, so he said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) doing the same. People liked this hadith because Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) was the last to embrace Islam.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Malik bin Buhaina (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) performed prayer, he would keep a gap between his arms so much so that the whiteness of his armpits became visible.

Narrated Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever prays our (kind of) prayer, faces our Qiblah, and eats our slaughtered animals, then he is a Muslim, for whom is the protection of Allah and the protection of His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). So do not betray Allah regarding His protection."
