| 8 Prayers (Salat) |
| Hadith number 378 |
| Chapter: 18 (It is permissible) to offer Salat (prayer) on roofs, a pulpit or wood |
| 378 Narrated Anas bin Malik: Once Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) fell off a horse and his leg or shoulder got injured. He swore that he would not go to his wives for one month and he stayed in a Mashruba [??] (attic room) having stairs made of date palm trunks. So his companions came to visit him, and he led them in prayer sitting, whereas his companions were standing. When he finished the prayer, he said, “Imam is meant to be followed, so when he says ‘Allahu Akbar,’ say ‘Allahu Akbar’ and when he bows, bow and when he prostrates, prostrate and if he prays standing pray, standing. After the 29th day the Prophet (peace be upon him) came down (from the attic room) and the people asked him, “O Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him)! You swore that you will not go to your wives for one month.” He said, “The month is 29 days.” |
