The Book of the Prayer of the Traveler and Its Shortening-08b

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: And Muhammad ibn Hatim narrated to me, saying: Bahz narrated to us, saying: Wahib narrated to us, saying: Musa ibn 'Uqbah narrated to us, saying: I heard Abu al-Nadr from Busr ibn Sa'id from Zayd ibn Thabit:
That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made a small room in the mosque from palm-leaf mats, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed in it for nights until people gathered to him أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلّم اتخذ حجرة في المسجد من حصير فصلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلّم فيها ليالي حتى اجتمع إليه ناس
and he mentioned the like of this, adding to it
and if it were made obligatory, you would not be able to do it ولو كتِب عليكم ما قمتم به
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1599Sahih (Darussalam)
.

The Shaykh : Yes, meaning it would have been too difficult for you and you would not have been able to do it. This is like what he said to al-Aqra' ibn Habis when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) mentioned that Allah had made Hajj obligatory. Al-Aqra' said to him: "Is it every year?" He said:
If I were to say" Yes," it would become obligatory (for you to perform it every year) and you would not be able to do it. لو قلت نعم لوجبت ولما استطعتم
Sahih Muslim 1337
, meaning yes.
