أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا الْأَسْفَاطِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، ثنا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، ثنا غَالِبٌ الْقَطَّانُ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْمُزَنِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: كُنَّا " إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَحَدُنَا أَنْ يُمَكِّنَ جَبْهَتَهُ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْحَرِّ طَرَحَ ثَوْبَهُ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that when we used to pray with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and one of us was unable to place his forehead on the ground because of the intensity of the heat, he would spread out his garment and prostrate on it.
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْبِسْطَامِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ، ثنا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، ثنا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، حَدَّثَنِي غَالِبٌ الْقَطَّانُ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: كُنَّا " إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَيَضَعُ أَحَدُنَا طَرَفَ الثَّوْبِ مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْحَرِّ مَكَانَ السُّجُودِ " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ بِقَرِيبٍ مِنْ هَذَا اللَّفْظِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that when we prayed with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), several of us Companions would spread a piece of cloth at the place of prostration because of the intensity of the heat.
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ ⦗١٥٣⦘ قُتَيْبَةَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أنبأ بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ زَيْدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْهَاشِمِ الْعَلَوِيُّ بِالْكُوفَةِ، أنبأ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ دُحَيْمٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحُسَيْنِ، ثنا أَبُو غَسَّانَ، حَدَّثَنِي بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، حَدَّثَنِي غَالِبٌ الْقَطَّانُ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: " كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي شِدَّةِ الْحَرِّ فَإِذَا لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَحَدُنَا أَنْ يُمَكِّنَ جَبْهَتَهُ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ بَسَطَ ثَوْبَهُ فَسَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ " رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَحْيَى بِهَذَا اللَّفْظِ وَقَدْ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that we used to pray with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in intense heat, and when one of us was unable to place his forehead on the ground, he would spread out his garment and prostrate on it.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو يَعْلَى، ثنا شُرَيْحُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، ثنا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، فَذَكَرَ إِسْنَادَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي مَتْنِهِ: " كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي شِدَّةِ الْحَرِّ فَيَأْخُذُ أَحَدُنَا الْحَصْبَاءَ فِي يَدِهِ، فَإِذَا بَرَدَ وَضَعَهُ وَسَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ " قَالَ الشَّيْخُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: " هَذَانِ حَدِيثَانِ رَوَاهُمَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ أَحَدُهُمَا فِي الثَّوْبِ وَالْآخَرُ فِي الْحَصْبَاءِ، وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ السُّلَمِيُّ، عَنْ بَكْرٍ يَعْنِي بِقَرِيبٍ مِنَ اللَّفْظِ الْأَوَّلِ فِي الثِّيَابِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: " وَأَمَّا مَا رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ السُّجُودِ عَلَى كَوْرِ الْعِمَامَةِ فَلَا يَثْبُتُ شَيْءٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، وَأَصَحُّ مَا رُوِيَ فِي ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيِّ حِكَايَةً، عَنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ".
(a) A similar hadith is also narrated through another chain, but in it is: "We used to pray with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in intense heat, and one of us would take pebbles in his hand; when they had cooled, he would put them down and prostrate on them."
(b) Shaykh Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that these are two hadiths narrated by Bishr bin al-Mufaddal, one of them about the garment and the other about the pebbles.
(c) Imam al-Bayhaqi (may Allah have mercy on him) says: What is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about prostrating on the fold of the turban is not established; rather, what is sound on this matter is what is reported from al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him), which is the practice of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (may Allah be pleased with them).

أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ النَّضْرِ، ثنا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، ثنا زَائِدَةُ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: كَانَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يَسْجُدُونَ وَأَيْدِيهِمْ فِي ثِيَابِهِمْ، وَيَسْجُدُ الرَّجُلُ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى عِمَامَتِهِ " وَالْحَدِيثُ الْأَوَّلُ يَحْتَمِلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْمُرَادُ بِهِ ثَوْبًا مُنْفَصِلًا عَنْهُ، وَهَذَا يَحْتَمِلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَرَادَ يَسْجُدُ الرَّجُلُ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى عِمَامَتِهِ وَجَبْهَتِهِ، وَالِاحْتِيَاطُ لِغَرَضِ السُّجُودِ أَوْلَى وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ.
(a) Al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) says that when the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (may Allah be pleased with them) prostrated, their hands would be inside their clothes, and some of them would prostrate on their turbans.
(b) In the first of these hadiths, the garment means a cloth meant only to be placed for prostration (such as a handkerchief, a sheet and the like), and in the second narration it is possible that some people used to prostrate on their turban and their forehead; but caution in prostration is better.
