Chapter: What is to be avoided in prayer and what is not
Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 380 — What is to be avoided in prayer
اُردوEn
وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ : حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ ، عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : ( كُنَّا إِذَا كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمُعَسْكَرِ فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَثَبْنَا إِلَى قِسِيِّنَا وَسُيُوفِنَا فَصَلَّيْنَا فِيهَا بِمَنْزِلَةِ الرِّدَاءِ ) .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wathilah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "When we were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the military camp and the iqamah was called for the prayer, we would rush at once to our bows and swords (and take them up), and then pray in them in the place of a cloak (slinging them on the body or holding them), so that they served us in place of a cloak."
Imam Ahmad bin Mani' narrated this hadith in his Musnad; this narration makes clear the juristic legitimacy of praying with weapons in a state of war or for the needs of defence.
