Jami` at-Tirmidhi #332

The Book on Salat (Prayer)
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَلَّى عَلَى حَصِيرٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ وَالْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَحَدِيثُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ ‏.‏ إِلاَّ أَنَّ قَوْمًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ اخْتَارُوا الصَّلاَةَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ اسْتِحْبَابًا ‏.‏ وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ اسْمُهُ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ ‏.‏
"The Prophet performed Salat on a Hasir."
Narrated by Abu Sa'eed narrated:

Context

Modern Application

Today, this can inspire Muslims to focus on the sincerity of their prayers rather than the environment in which they pray. Whether at home or in a mosque, the essence of prayer remains paramount.

Topics
