Muwatta Malik #360
Shortening the Prayer
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'n Nadr, the mawla of Umar
ibn Ubaydullah, that Abu Murra, the mawla of Aqil ibn Abi Talib, told
him that he had heard Umm Hani bint Abi Talib say, "I went to the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in the
year of the conquest and found him doing ghusl while his daughter
Fatima, was screening him with a garment. I said to him, 'Peace be
upon you' and he said, 'Who is that?' I replied, 'Umm Hani bint Abi
Talib,' and he said, 'Welcome, Umm Hani!' When he had finished his
ghusl, he stood and prayed eight rakas, covering himself with one
garment, and then came away. I said, 'Messenger of Allah, the son of
my mother, AIi, says that he is determined to kill so-and-so, son of
Hubayra, a man I have placed under my protection.' The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'We give
protection to whoever you have given protection to, Umm Hani.' "
Umm Hani related that this incident happened in the morning.
