باب الصَّلاَةِ عَلَى الْخُمْرَةِ:Chapter: Praying on a mat
Hadith 1412
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ إِسْحَاق بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ "صَلَّى عَلَى حَصِيرٍ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed on a mat.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 1411)
From these ahadith, it is understood that performing prostration (sajdah) on the ground or on soil is not a necessary condition. The Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam performed prayer and prostrated on a khumrah (a small mat), on a mat or a woven mat, and even on his bed. Therefore, there is no harm in praying on a prayer rug, mat, musalla, or carpet. However, it is better if the prayer rug or similar items do not have designs or patterns. And Allah knows best.
May Allah Ta’ala grant everyone the ability to follow the Sunnah.
Ameen.
