Hadith 2492
أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عُلَيَّةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ صُهَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَحَبَلٌ مَمْدُودٌ بَيْنَ سَارِيَتَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ : " مَا هَذَا ؟ " قَالُوا : لِزَيْنَبَ تُصَلِّي ، فَإِذَا كَسِلَتْ أَوْ فَتَرَتْ أَمْسَكَتْ بِهِ ، قَالَ : " حُلُّوهُ " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " لِيُصَلِّ أَحَدُكُمْ نَشَاطَهُ ، فَإِذَا كَسِلَ أَوْ فَتَرَ فَلْيَقْعُدْ " .
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the mosque and saw a rope hanging between two pillars. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: Whose is this? The people replied: This belongs to Sayyidah Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her). She performs prayer, and when she becomes tired, she holds onto it. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Untie it. Then he said: A person should pray when he is active and energetic; if he feels tired or his heart is not inclined, then he should sit down.
