Chapter on the permissibility of following an Imam separated by a barrier
Hadith 2607
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حُجْرَتِي وَالنَّاسُ يُؤَتَّمُّونَ بِهِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْحُجْرَةِ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلَاتِهِ
Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed in my chamber, and people, following him in prayer, were praying behind the chamber in congregation with his (peace and blessings be upon him) prayer.
Hadith 2608
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فِي حُجْرَتِهِ فَجَاءَ أُنَاسٌ فَصَلَّوْا بِصَلَاتِهِ فَخَفَّفَ فَدَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَعَادَ مِرَارًا كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يُصَلِّي، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! صَلَّيْتَ وَنَحْنُ نُحِبُّ أَنْ تَمُدَّ فِي صَلَاتِكَ، قَالَ: ((قَدْ عَلِمْتُ بِمَكَانِكُمْ وَعَمْدًا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ))
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed in a chamber one night. Some people came and they also began to pray along with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) shortened the prayer and then entered the house (where he prayed a long prayer). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out (and led them in a light prayer). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned several times, and each time he prayed. When morning came, the Companions said: O Messenger of Allah! You prayed and we wished that you would lengthen the prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, I knew about your place ((and your condition)), and I deliberately did this.
