أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ 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 قَدْ صَنَعَتْهُ لَهُ فَأَکَلَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ قُومُوا فَلِأُصَلِّيَ لَکُمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَقُمْتُ إِلَی حَصِيرٍ لَنَا قَدْ اسْوَدَّ مِنْ طُولِ مَا لُبِسَ فَنَضَحْتُهُ بِمَائٍ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَصَفَفْتُ أَنَا وَالْيَتِيمُ وَرَائَهُ وَالْعَجُوزُ مِنْ وَرَائِنَا فَصَلَّی لَنَا رَکْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَإِذَا کَانُوا رَجُلَيْنِ وَامْرَأَتَيْنِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 805
It was narrated from Anas bin Malik, that his grandmother Mulaikah invited the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم to come and eat some food that she had prepared for him. Then he said: “Get up and I will lead you in prayer.” Anas said: “So I got up and brought a reed mat of ours that had turned black from long use, and sprinided some water on it. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم stood and the orphan and I stood in a row behind him, and the old woman stood behind us, and he led us in praying two Rak’ahs, then he left.” (Sahih).
