هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ ، قَالَ : قَدِمْتُ الرَّقَّةَ ، فَقَالَ لِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِي : هَلْ لَكَ فِي رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : غَنِيمَةٌ ، فَدَفَعْنَا إِلَى
وَابِصَةَ ، قُلْتُ لِصَاحِبِي : نَبْدَأُ ، فَنَنْظُرُ إِلَى دَلِّهِ ، فَإِذَا عَلَيْهِ قَلَنْسُوَةٌ لَاطِئَةٌ ذَاتُ أُذُنَيْنِ ، وَبُرْنُسُ خَزٍّ أَغْبَرُ ، وَإِذَا هُوَ مُعْتَمِدٌ عَلَى عَصًا فِي صَلَاتِهِ ، فَقُلْنَا : بَعْدَ أَنْ سَلَّمْنَا ؟ : فَقَالَ : حَدَّثَتْنِي
أُمُّ قَيْسٍ بِنْتُ مِحْصَنٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " لَمَّا أَسَنَّ وَحَمَلَ اللَّحْمَ اتَّخَذَ عَمُودًا فِي مُصَلَّاهُ يَعْتَمِدُ عَلَيْهِ " .
Narrated Umm Qays bint Mihsan: Hilal ibn Yasaf said: I came to ar-Raqqah (a place in Syria). One of my companions said to me: Do you want to see any of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ? I said: A good opportunity. So we went to Wabisah. I said to my friend: Let us first see his mode of living. He had a cap with two ears stuck (to his head), and wearing a brown silken robe. He was resting on a staff during prayer. We asked him (about resting on the staff) after salutation; He said: Umm Qays daughter of Mihsan said to me that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became aged and the flesh grew increasingly on him, he took a prop at his place of prayer and rested on it.
