ONE HADITH A DAY

We used to perform the Friday prayer with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and leave at a time when the walls had no shadow that we could take as shelter

Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim · Authentic hadith

عن سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ رضي الله عنه وكان من أصحاب الشجرة قال: «كنا نُصَلِّي مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الْجُمُعَةَ، ثم نَنْصَرِفُ، وليس للحيطان ظِلٌّ نستظِلّ به». وفي لفظ: «كنا نُجَمِّعُ مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا زالت الشمس، ثم نرجع فَنَتَتَبَّعُ الْفَيْءَ».

“Salāmah ibn al-Akwa‘ (may Allah be pleased with him) who was amongst those who had given the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet beneath the Tree, reported: We used to perform the Friday prayer with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and leave at a time when the walls had no shadow for us to take shelter in. Another wording reads: "We used to perform the Friday prayer with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) after the sun had passed the meridian, then we would return and try to find shadow."”
