Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى قَالَ رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَبْلًا مَمْدُودًا بَيْنَ سَارِيَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ لِمَنْ هَذَا قَالُوا لِحَمْنَةَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ فَإِذَا عَجَزَتْ تَعَلَّقَتْ بِهِ فَقَالَ لِتُصَلِّ مَا طَاقَتْ فَإِذَا عَجَزَتْ فَلْتَقْعُدْ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَهُ.
English Translation
Abd ar-Rahman told us, Hammad ibn Salamah told us, from Thabit, from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Layla, who said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, saw a rope stretched between two pillars and said, "What is this for?" They said, "It belongs to Hamnah bint Jahsh; when she becomes tired while praying, she holds onto it." He said, "Let her pray as long as she is able, and when she becomes tired, let her sit." Abd ar-Rahman told us, Hammad told us, from Humayd, from Anas, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, similarly.
