Bulugh al-Maram

We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) during a dark night and we became uncertain about the Qiblah (the direction of Makkah) we then prayed (without being certain). When the run rose, we discovered that we prayed towards a direction other than the Qiblah. So this Verse was revealed: "...so wherever you turn yourselves or your faces, there is the Face of Allah..." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "The direction between the east and west is Qiblah." .

I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) praying while mounted on his riding animal facing whatever direction it faced. .

"Making gestures with his head and he did not do that (pray while mounted) with obligatory prayers."

When traveled, and intended to pray a voluntary prayer, he used to direct his riding camel towards the Qiblah, say, "Allahu Akbar" and pray facing whatever direction it faced. .

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The whole earth is a mosque (to pray on) except a graveyard and a toilet." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade prayer at seven places; a dump, a slaughter house, a graveyard, the middle of the path, a bathroom, and where camels sit at a watering place and on (roof) of the Ka'bah. .

I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) say, "Don't pray towards graves and don't sit on them."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "When any of you comes to the mosque he should look and if he sees impurity on his sandals (shoes) he should wipe them and then pray in them." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "If one of you steps on filth with his two leather socks then the earth is their purification." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Talking is not befitting during the Salat (prayer), for it (prayer) consists only of glorifying Allah, declaring His Greatness and the recitation of the Qur'an." .

We used to talk while engaged in Salat (prayer) during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and one would talk with his companion regarding his needs in prayer till (this verse) was revealed: "Guard strictly the prayers, especially the middle prayer; and stand before Allah with obedience," then we were commanded to observe silence (in prayer) and were forbidden to talk. .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Glorification of Allah (i.e. saying) is for men and clapping of hands is for women." .

"during Salat (prayer)".

Narrated Mutarrif bin Abdullah bin Shikhkhir (RA) from his father, who said, "I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) when he was engaged in prayer, and heard a sound from his chest, like the bubbling of a pot, from weeping." .

"I had the permission of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to see him in his house at two times, and whenever I entered to him while he was praying he would clear his throat as a sign to me." .

I asked Bilal (RA), "How did you observe the Prophet (ﷺ) replying to their (the Companions) salutation while he was engaged in prayer?" He (Bilal) said: "He used to do this way," and he (Bilal) demonstrated by spreading his palm. .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was (one time) offering prayer while he was carrying Umama, daughter of Zainab, when he prostrated he put her down and when he stood up he lifted her up. .

"While he (ﷺ) led the people in the prayer in the masjid..."

"Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Kill the two black ones during Salat (prayer), the snake and the scorpion." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "If the person who passes in front of another person in prayer knew the magnitude of his sin, it would have been better for him to wait for forty than pass in front of him." .

"forty years."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was asked in the expedition of Tabuk about the Sutra of the person who is offering the prayer; he said , "It is (something) like the back of a saddle." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Let one of you who is in Salat (prayer) put a Sutra in front of him even if it is an arrow." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), "In case there is not before him (an object) like the back of a saddle, a Muslim's Salat (prayer) would be cut off by (the passing of) a woman, a donkey and a black dog." And it concludes: "the black dog is a devil." .

Muslim also reported through Abu Hurairah (RA) a similar Hadith without the mention of Kalb (dog).

In another narration Abu Dawud and an-Nasa'i reported through Ibn Abbas (RA) a similar report without its end and connected the prohibition of a woman passing in front of a praying person to the state of being in her menstruation period.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "If one of you prays towards an object separating him from the people and someone tries to pass (between him and the object) in front of him, let him turn him away but if he refuses he should fight him for he is a devil." .

"for there is a Satan with him."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "When one of you prays, he should put something in front of him, and if he cannot find something he should set up a stick; but if he has no stick with him he should draw a line, then what passes in front of him will not harm him." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Nothing interrupts Salat (prayer), but avert as much as you can (things that cut off prayer)." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade keeping one's hands on one's waist while praying. . The wording is that of Muslim's. And it's meaning is to put (one's) hands on his waist.

"This is a practice of the Jews."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "If supper is brought (and the prayer is ready) start with it (the food) before you pray the Maghrib (prayer)." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "When one of you is praying he must not remove pebbles (from his face) for the mercy is facing him." .

"(remove the pebbles) once or leave (them)."

It is also reported in as-Sahih on the authority of Mu'aiqib without mention of the reason.

I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about looking around during prayer and he said, "It is something which the devil snatches from a person's prayer." .

"Avoid looking around when you are engaged in prayer, for looking around is destruction. And if you must do it, do so in the voluntary prayers."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "When anyone of you is engaged in Salat (prayer), he is holding intimate conversation with his Rabb so he should not spit in front of him, nor to his right side, but to his left side, under his foot". .

"or under his foot."

'Aishah (RA) had a Qiram (a soft piece of cloth with colours) with which she had screened one side of her house. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Take away this Qiram of yours, for its pictures are displayed in front of me during my prayer." .

"it (the Khamisa) has distracted me from my prayer."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Those people who raise their eyes to heaven while in Salat (prayer) should stop (doing so) or else their sight will not return to them." .

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Yawning is caused by the devil, so when one of you yawns he must repress it as much as he can." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered that the mosques be built in residential districts and that it be cleaned and perfumed. .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "May Allah curse the Jews! They have turned the graves of their Prophets into mosques." .

"and Christians."
