حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَی اللَّيْثِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَرَأَی حَبْلًا مَمْدُودًا بَيْنَ سَارِيَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا الْحَبْلُ قَالُوا لِزَيْنَبَ تُصَلِّي فِيهِ فَإِذَا فَتَرَتْ تَعَلَّقَتْ بِهِ فَقَالَ حُلُّوهُ حُلُّوهُ لِيُصَلِّ أَحَدُکُمْ نَشَاطَهُ فَإِذَا فَتَرَ فَلْيَقْعُدْ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1371
It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah entered the Masjid and saw a rope tied between two pillars. He said, "What is this rope?" They said: "It belongs to Zainab. She prays here and when she gets tired she holds on to it." He said: "Untie it, untie it, and let any one of you pray when he has energy, and if he gets tired let him sit down." (Sahih)
