Musnad Abi Ya'la 3831 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a rope stretched
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، وَحُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى حَبْلًا مَمْدُودًا بَيْنَ سَارِيَتَيْنِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَا هَذَا الْحَبْلُ ؟ فَقِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، حَمْنَةُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ تُصَلِّي ، فَإِذَا أَعْيَتْ تَعَلَّقَتْ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لِتُصَلِّ ، فَإِذَا أَعْيَتْ فَلْتَقْعُدْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a rope stretched between two pillars of the mosque, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is this rope?" It was said: O Messenger of Allah! Sayyidah Hamnah bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her) prays, and when she gets tired she hangs on to it (the rope). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "She should pray (according to her strength), and when she gets tired she should sit down."
