| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-25376 | | Urwah Ibn AlZubair reported that Marwan Ibn AlHakam asked Abu Huraira: Did you pray in time of danger with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? Abu Huraira replied: Yes. Marwan then asked: When? Abu Huraira said: On the occasion of the Battle of Najd. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to offer the afternoon prayer. One section stood with him to pray and the other was standing before the enemy; and their backs were towards the qiblah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ uttered the takbir and all of them too uttered the takbir; i.e. those who were with him and those who were facing the enemy. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered one rakah and the section that was with him also prayed one rakah. He then prostrated himself and those who were with him also prostrated; while the other section was standing before the enemy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then stood up and the section with him also stood up. They went and faced the enemy and the section that was previously facing the enemy stepped forward. They bowed and prostrated while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing in the same position. Then they stood up and the Messenger of Allah may peace be upon prayed another rakah and all of them bowed and prostrated along with him. After that the section that was standing before the enemy came forward and they bowed and prostrated; while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained seated and also those who were with him. The salutation then followed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ uttered the salutation and all of them uttered it together. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed two rakahs and each of the two sections prayed one rakah with him and the other by themselves. | The Chapter on Tashahhud And Enemies in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on Whoever Said That They Say The Takbr Together in Sunan Abu Dawoud |

She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ uttered the takbir and the section that was in the same row with him also uttered the takbir. He then bowed and they also bowed; and he prostrated and they also prostrated. Then he raised his head and they also raised their heads. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then remained seated. They prostrated alone and stood up and retraced their footsteps and stood behind them. Then the other section came; they stood up and uttered the takbir and bowed by themselves. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prostrated himself and they also prostrated with him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and they performed the second prostration by themselves. Then both the sections stood up and prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He bowed and they also bowed; and then he prostrated himself and they also prostrated themselves. Then he returned and performed the second prostration and they also prostrated with him as quickly as possible; showing no slackness in quick prostration.

He asked : Then what moved you to cause us and yourself to come out from paradise? Adam asked him : And who are you? He said : Yes. He asked : Did you not find that was decreed in the book records of Allah before I was created? He replied : Yes. He asked : Then why do you blame me about a thing for which Divine decree had already passed before me ?

| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-26358 | | Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to prostrate and sleep in prostration and produce puffing sounds during sleep. Then he would stand and pray and would not perform ablution. I said to him: you prayed but did not perform ablution though you slept in prostration. He replied: Ablution is necessary for one who sleeps while he is lying down. Uthman and Hannad added: For when he lies down; his joints are relaxed.Abu Dawud said: The statement ablution is necessary for one who sleeps while one is lying down is a munkar rejected tradition. It has been narrated only by Yazid Abu Khalid AlDalani; on the authority of Qatadah. And its earlier part has been narrated by a group of narrators from Ibn Abbas; they did not mention anything about it. He Ibn Abbas said: The Prophet ﷺ was protected during his sleep. Aisha reported: The Prophet ﷺ said: My eyes sleep; but my heart does not sleep. Shubah said: Qatadah heard from Ab AlAliyah only four traditions: the tradition about Jonah son of Matthew; the tradition reported by Ibn Umar about prayer; the tradition stating that the judges are three; and the tradition narrated by Ibn Abbas saying: This tradition has been narrated to me by reliable persons ; Umar is one of them; and the most reliable of them in my opinion is Umar. Abu Dawud said: I asked Ahmad Bin Hanbal about the tradition narrated by Yazid AlDalani. He rebuked me out of respect for him. Then he said: Yazid AlDalani does not add anything to what has been narrated by the teachers of Qatadah. He did not care of this tradition due to its weakness. | The Chapter on Ablution Or Tayammum After Sleeping in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on Wudu From Sleeping in Sunan Abu Dawoud |

My prayer and my devotion; my life and my death belong to Allah; the Lord of the Universe; Who has no partner. That is what I have been commanded; and I am first of Muslims those who surrender themselves. O Allah; Thou art the King. There is no God but Thee. Thou art my Lord and I am Thy servant. I have wronged myself; but I acknowledge my sin; so forgive me all my sins; Thou Who alone canst forgive sins; and guide me to the best qualities. Thou Who alone canst guide to the best of them; and turn me from evil ones. Thou who alone canst turn from evil qualities. I come to serve and please Thee. All good is in Thy Hands; and evil does not pertain to Thee. I seek refuge in Thee and turn to Thee; Who art blessed and exalted. I ask Thy forgiveness and turn to thee in repentance. When he bowed; he said: O Allah; to Thee I bow; in Thee I trust; and to Thee I submit myself. My hearing; my sight; my brain; my bone and my sinews humble themselves before Thee. When he raised his head; he said: Allah listens to him who praises Him. O our lord; and all praises be to Thee in the whole of the heavens and the earth; and what is between them; and in whatever Thou creates afterwards. When he prostrated himself; he said: O Allah; to Thee I prostrate myself; to Thee I trust; and to Thee I submit myself. My face prostrated itself before Him Who created it; fashioned it; and fashioned it in the best shape; and brought forth its hearing and seeing. Blessed is Allah; the best of creators. When he saluted at the end of the prayer; he said: O Allah; forgive me my former and my latter sins; my open and secret sins; my sins in exceeding the limits; and what Thou knowest better than I. Thou art He Who puts forward and puts back. There is deity but Thee. | The Chapter on Allah Characteristics And Affirming Faith in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on The Supplication With Which The Prayer Should Be Started in Sunan Abu Dawoud |
