اُردوEn
447 صحيح حديث زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اتَّخَذَ حُجْزَةً، مِنْ حَصِيرٍ، في رَمَضَانَ، فَصَلَّى فِيهَا لَيَالِيَ، فَصَلَّى بِصَلاَتِهِ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ بِهِمْ جَعَلَ يَقْعُدُ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالَ: قَدْ عَرَفْتُ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُ مِنْ صَنِيعِكُمْ، فَصَلُّوا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ فَإِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الصَّلاَةِ صَلاَةُ الْمَرْءِ فِي بَيْتِهِ إِلاَّ الْمَكْتُوبَة
Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made a small room out of a mat or set up a screen during Ramadan. He prayed in it for several nights. Some of the companions followed him in prayer during those nights. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became aware of this, he began to sit and stopped leading the prayer. Then he came out and said, "I know what you did, but people, continue to pray in your homes, for the best prayer of a person is that which he performs in his house, except for the obligatory prayer (which should be performed in the mosque)."
Brief Explanation
Hadith Narrator: The kunyah of Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit radi Allahu anhu was Abu Sa‘id and Abu Harithah. He was a great Imam and possessed complete mastery in the knowledge of inheritance (ilm al-fara’id). He was the Mufti of Madinah. He was a scribe of revelation (katib al-wahy). When Sayyiduna ‘Umar radi Allahu anhu would go for Hajj, he would appoint him as his deputy in Madinah. At the time of the Hijrah, he accepted Islam at the age of eleven. The Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam recited seventeen surahs, and he recited these surahs before the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was amazed at his memorization ability. By the order of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he learned to read and write the Syriac language in fifteen days. During the compilation of the Qur’an, the committee established by Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq and Sayyiduna ‘Uthman radi Allahu anhuma was headed by him. He passed away in Madinah Munawwarah in 45 AH at the age of 56.
