حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي غَالِبٌ الْقَطَّانُ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُزَنِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا خَلْفَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالظَّهَائِرِ سَجَدْنَا عَلَى ثِيَابِنَا اتِّقَاءَ الْحَرِّ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رَوَى وَكِيعٌ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ‏.‏
"When we prayed behind the Prophet in the midday heat, we would prostrate on our garments as a protection against the heat."
Narrated by Anas bin Malik narrated:

Context

This hadith describes a practical adaptation made by the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ during prayer in the intense midday heat. To avoid discomfort from the scorching ground, they would prostrate on their garments instead of directly on the hot earth. This reflects the Prophet's ﷺ consideration for the well-being of his followers and the importance of maintaining focus during prayer.

Modern Application

In today's context, this principle highlights the importance of adapting practices to ensure comfort and focus during worship. For instance, using prayer mats or finding shaded areas during outdoor prayers can enhance the experience and help individuals concentrate better on their prayers.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Prayer and Clothing Etiquette because it illustrates the companions' adaptation of their clothing to maintain comfort during prayer.
