Hadith 229

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ هَانِئِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ الْمُرَادِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ مَحْمُودٍ، قَالَ : صَلَّيْنَا خَلْفَ أَمِيرٍ مِنَ الْأُمَرَاءِ فَاضْطَرَّنَا النَّاسُ فَصَلَّيْنَا بَيْنَ السَّارِيَتَيْنِ ، فَلَمَّا صَلَّيْنَا ، قَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ : " كُنَّا نَتَّقِي هَذَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " ، وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ قُرَّةَ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ الْمُزَنِيِّ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ أَنَسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَقَدْ كَرِهَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ يُصَفَّ بَيْنَ السَّوَارِي ، وَبِهِ يَقُولُ : أحمد ، وإسحاق ، وَقَدْ رَخَّصَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فِي ذَلِكَ .
´Abdul-Hamid bin Mahmud said:` "We prayed behind one of the Amirs, the people compelled us such that we prayed between two columns. When we had prayed, Anas bin Malik said: 'We would be prevented from this during the time of Allah's Messenger.'"

673. Commentary:
Since the row is interrupted because of the pillars, it is not permissible. However, if due to severe crowding and a large multitude of people, no other place is available, then it is permitted out of necessity, but one should avoid it as much as possible.
