After finishing the prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What happened regarding the task for which I sent you?" I did not reply because I was praying at that time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was facing towards the east.

When I saw Sayyiduna Isa, the one among my companions who resembled him the most was ‘Urwah bin Mas’ud. And when I saw Sayyiduna Ibrahim, the one who resembled him the most was your Prophet (himself). And when I saw Sayyiduna Jibril, the one who resembled him the most was Dihyah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became ill. We performed prayer behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at that time, and he was leading the prayer while sitting. Sayyiduna Siddiq Akbar (Abu Bakr) was loudly saying the takbeer so that others could hear the takbeer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) glanced at us from the corner of his eye and saw that we were standing. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured towards us, so we also began to pray sitting, and completed the rest of the prayer in this manner. After finishing the prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It was just about that you would have started doing as the people of Persia and Rome do. They also stand before their kings while the kings remain seated. Do not do so; rather, follow your imams. If they pray standing, then you should also pray standing. If they pray sitting, then you should also pray sitting."

When he finished the prayer with salam, I said to him, "O Abdullah, may Allah forgive you, you are praying in a single garment while you have other clothes beside you." He replied, "I did this so that fools like you may see. Then he said, 'I am praying in a single garment—did the companions have two garments?' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you stand for prayer and you have only one garment on your body, and it is wide, then wrap it well around yourself, and if it is tight, then make it a lower garment (tahband) and then pray."

Now I do not remember whether the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also mentioned the name Rafi’ or not. And the reason he stated was that someone asks another, “Is Barakah (blessing) here?” and he replies, “No.” Someone asks, “Is Yasaar (ease) here?” and he replies, “No.” But before this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away. Then Sayyiduna Umar intended to strictly prohibit this, but then he abandoned it.
