Chapter 5 · Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat): Voluntary Prayersحَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَهَارُونُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ، أَنَّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَهُمْ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَحَبْلٌ مَمْدُودٌ بَيْنَ سَارِيَتَيْنِ، فَقَالَ: مَا هَذَا الْحَبْلُ ؟ فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَذِهِ حَمْنَةُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ تُصَلِّي، فَإِذَا أَعْيَتْ تَعَلَّقَتْ بِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لِتُصَلِّ مَا أَطَاقَتْ، فَإِذَا أَعْيَتْ فَلْتَجْلِسْ . قَالَ زِيَادٌ: فَقَالَ: مَا هَذَا ؟ فَقَالُوا: لِزَيْنَبَ تُصَلِّي، فَإِذَا كَسِلَتْ أَوْ فَتَرَتْ أَمْسَكَتْ بِهِ، فَقَالَ: حُلُّوهُ فَقَالَ: لِيُصَلِّ أَحَدُكُمْ نَشَاطَهُ، فَإِذَا كَسِلَ أَوْ فَتَرَ فَلْيَقْعُدْ .

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم entered the mosque (and saw that) a rope tied between two pillars. He asked: What is this rope (for) ? The people told him: This is (for) Hamnah bin Jahsh رضی اللہ عنہا who prays (here). When she is tired, she reclines on it. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: She should pray as much as she has strength. When she is tired, she should sit down. This version of Ziyad has: He said: What is this ? The people told him: This is for Zainab رضی اللہ عنہا who prays. When she becomes lazy, or is tired, she holds it. He said: Undo it. One of you should pray in good spirits. When he is lazy or tired, he should sit down.
