Sayyiduna Uthman bin Abi al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me to Thaqif (as governor), he said to me: "O Uthman, keep the prayer light, and lead the people in prayer with regard to the weakest among them, for among them are the weak, the needy, the pregnant woman and the nursing woman. And I hear a child crying, so I make (the prayer) light."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Only Ibn Ulathah narrated this hadith from Hisham bin Hassan, and Muhammad bin Salamah is alone in it."
