حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ إِسْحَقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ أَنَّ جَدَّتَهُ مُلَيْکَةَ دَعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِطَعَامٍ صَنَعَتْهُ فَأَکَلَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ قُومُوا فَلَأُصَلِّيَ لَکُمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَقُمْتُ إِلَی حَصِيرٍ لَنَا قَدْ اسْوَدَّ مِنْ طُولِ مَا لُبِسَ فَنَضَحْتُهُ بِمَائٍ فَقَامَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَصَفَفْتُ أَنَا وَالْيَتِيمُ وَرَائَهُ وَالْعَجُوزُ مِنْ وَرَائِنَا فَصَلَّی لَنَا رَکْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 612
Anas bin Malik said that his grandmother Mulaikah the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to take meals which the prepared for him. He took some of it and prayed. He said: Get up, I shall lead you in prayer. Anas said: I got up and took a mat which had become black on account of long use. I then washed it with water. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood upon it. I and the orphan (Ibn Abi Dumairah, the freed slave of the prophet) stood in a row behind him. The old women stood behind us. He then led us two RAKAHs in prayer and went away.
