Sahih

إِذَا أَصَابَ ثَوْبُ الْمُصَلِّي امْرَأَتَهُ إِذَا سَجَدَ

When the garment of the one praying touches his wife as he prostrates

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي وَأَنَا حِذَاءَهُ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ وَرُبَّمَا أَصَابَنِي ثَوْبُهُ إِذَا سَجَدَ. قَالَتْ وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى الْخُمْرَةِ.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ، قَالَتْ

Translation

Maymunah reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray while I was beside him, and I was menstruating, and sometimes his garment touched me when he prostrated. She said, “And he used to pray on the small prayer mat.”

Translator’s note: The small prayer mat (khumrah) is woven from palm leaves and just large enough for the face and hands in prostration.

Maimuna berichtete: Der Gesandte Allahs ﷺ pflegte zu beten, während ich neben ihm war und menstruierend war, und manchmal berührte mich sein Gewand, wenn er sich niederwarf. Sie sagte: „Und er pflegte auf der kleinen Gebetsmatte zu beten.“

Translator’s note: Die kleine Gebetsmatte (Chumra) ist aus Palmblättern geflochten und gerade groß genug für Gesicht und Hände bei der Niederwerfung.

Türkçe

Meymûne (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Resûlullah ﷺ namaz kılardı, ben de hayızlı olduğum hâlde onun yanında bulunurdum. Secde ettiğinde bazen elbisesi bana değerdi. Dedi ki: “O, küçük hasır seccade üzerinde namaz kılardı.”

Translator’s note: Küçük hasır seccade (humre), hurma yapraklarından örülen ve secdede yüz ile ellerin sığacağı büyüklükte olan seccadedir.
