الصَّلاَةِ إِلَى الرَّاحِلَةِ وَالْبَعِيرِ وَالشَّجَرِ وَالرَّحْلِ

Praying towards a riding animal, a camel, a tree or a saddle

أَعَدَلْتُمُونَا بِالْكَلْبِ وَالْحِمَارِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي مُضْطَجِعَةً عَلَى السَّرِيرِ، فَيَجِيءُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَيَتَوَسَّطُ السَّرِيرَ فَيُصَلِّي، فَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُسَنِّحَهُ فَأَنْسَلُّ مِنْ قِبَلِ رِجْلَىِ السَّرِيرِ حَتَّى أَنْسَلَّ مِنْ لِحَافِي.

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ

Translation

Aishah reported: Have you made us equal to the dog and the donkey? I remember lying on the bed, and the Prophet ﷺ would come, position himself facing the middle of the bed and pray. I disliked appearing in front of him, so I would slip away from the foot of the bed until I had slipped out of my blanket.

Aischa berichtete: Habt ihr uns etwa dem Hund und dem Esel gleichgestellt? Ich habe es erlebt, dass ich auf dem Bett lag; da kam der Prophet ﷺ, stellte sich mittig vor das Bett und betete. Es war mir unangenehm, vor ihm zu erscheinen, und so schlüpfte ich am Fußende des Bettes hinaus, bis ich unter meiner Decke hervorgeschlüpft war.

Türkçe

Âişe (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Bizi köpek ve eşekle bir mi tuttunuz? Andolsun, kendimi yatağın üzerinde uzanmış hâlde hatırlıyorum; Nebî ﷺ gelir, yatağın tam ortasına karşı durur ve namaz kılardı. Onun önüne çıkmaktan hoşlanmaz, yatağın ayak ucu tarafından sıyrılarak yorganımdan çıkardım.
