Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: 'Abd al-A'la ibn Hammad narrated to us, saying: Wahib narrated to us, saying: Musa ibn 'Uqbah narrated to us from Salim, Abu al-Nadr, from Busr ibn Sa'id, from Zayd ibn Thabit, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made a small room. He said: I think he said: made of palm leaf mats, in Ramadan. So he prayed in it for nights, and some of his Companions prayed with him. When he realized they were doing so, he began to sit down. Then he came out to them and said: Mishkat al-Masabih 1295 'Affan said: Wahib narrated to us, Musa narrated, I heard Abu al-Nadr from Busr from Zayd from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : This clarifies what we previously mentioned, that this was in Ramadan.
What I have seen you doing has continued to be your practice, so that I have been afraid that it might be prescribed for you, and if it were prescribed for you you would not fulfil it. You people should therefore pray in your houses, for, with the exception of the prescribed prayer, the most excellent prayer a man observes is that which he observes in his house.
قد عرفت الذي رأيت من صنيعكم فصلوا أيها الناس في بيوتكم فإن أفضل الصلاة صلاة المرء في بيته إلا المكتوبةThe Shaykh : This clarifies what we previously mentioned, that this was in Ramadan.
