Chapter 8 · Prayers (Salat)
Sahih

هَلْ يَغْمِزُ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ عِنْدَ السُّجُودِ لِكَىْ يَسْجُدَ

May a man nudge his wife at the time of prostration so that he can prostrate?

بِئْسَمَا عَدَلْتُمُونَا بِالْكَلْبِ وَالْحِمَارِ، لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي، وَأَنَا مُضْطَجِعَةٌ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ غَمَزَ رِجْلَىَّ فَقَبَضْتُهُمَا.

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ

Translation

Aishah reported: How evil it is that you have made us equal to the dog and the donkey! I remember the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying while I was lying between him and the qiblah. When he wanted to prostrate, he would nudge my legs and I would draw them up.

Aischa berichtete: Wie schlimm ist es, dass ihr uns dem Hund und dem Esel gleichgestellt habt! Ich habe es erlebt, dass der Gesandte Allahs ﷺ betete, während ich zwischen ihm und der Gebetsrichtung (Qibla) lag. Wenn er sich niederwerfen wollte, stupste er meine Beine an, und ich zog sie an.

Türkçe

Âişe (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Bizi köpek ve eşekle bir tutmanız ne kötü! Andolsun, Resûlullah ﷺ namaz kılarken ben onunla kıble arasında uzanmış yatıyordum. Secde etmek istediğinde ayaklarımı dürter, ben de onları çekerdim.
