The reciter: Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr narrated to us, saying: Mu'tamir narrated to us from 'Ubayd Allah from Sa'id ibn Abi Sa'id from Abu Salama ibn 'Abd al-Rahman from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her):
That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to make a partition with a mat at night and pray on it, and spread it out during the day and sit on it. The people began to gather around the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and pray following his prayer until they became numerous. So he came out and said: O people
أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلّم كان يحتجر حصيرا بالليل فيصلي ويبسطه بالنهار فيجلس عليه، فجعل الناس يثوبون إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلّم فيصلون بصلاته حتى كثروا، فأقبل فقال: يا أيها الناس
