اُردوEn
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ضَخْمًا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! إِنِّي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ مَعَكَ، فَصَنَعَ لَهُ طَعَامًا وَدَعَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْهِ وَبَسَطُوا لَهُ حَصِيرًا وَنَضَحُوهُ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ آلِ الْجَارُودِ: أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي الضُّحَى؟ قَالَ: مَا رَأَيْتُهُ صَلَّاهَا إِلَّا يَوْمَئِذٍ
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that there was an Ansari man who was overweight and did not have the strength to pray with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he said: O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, I do not have the strength to pray with you. Then he prepared food for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), invited him, spread a mat for him, and sprinkled water on it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed two rak‘ahs on it. A man from the family of Jarud asked him: Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) pray the Duha prayer? He replied: I did not see him pray the Duha prayer except on that day.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … From these ahadith it is understood that there should be a designated place for prayer in the house, but this place will remain under the ownership of the owner. However, in our society, there is no arrangement for this at all. If possible, a room in the house should be set aside so that the members of the household can perform prayer there. In these incidents, such a place was inaugurated through the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Can a pious person be invited for this purpose today? Apparently, it seems that it is permissible. And Allah knows best what is correct.
