English narration
Narrated by أنس بن مالك الأنصاري
Narrated Anas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the mosque (and saw that) a rope tied between two pillars. He asked: What is this rope (for) ? The people told him: This is (for) Hamnah bin Jahsh who prays (here). When she is tired, she reclines on it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: She should pray as much as she has strength. When she is tired, she should sit down. This version of Ziyad has: He said: What is this ? The people told him: This is for Zainab who prays. When she becomes lazy, or is tired, she holds it. He said: Undo it. One of you should pray in good spirits. When he is lazy or tired, he should sit down.

حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ، وَهَارُونُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ ، أَنَّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَهُمْ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَحَبْلٌ مَمْدُودٌ بَيْنَ سَارِيَتَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ : " مَا هَذَا الْحَبْلُ ؟ " فَقِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، هَذِهِ حَمْنَةُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ تُصَلِّي ، فَإِذَا أَعْيَتْ تَعَلَّقَتْ بِهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "
لِتُصَلِّ مَا أَطَاقَتْ ، فَإِذَا أَعْيَتْ فَلْتَجْلِسْ
" . قَالَ زِيَادٌ : فَقَالَ : " مَا هَذَا ؟ " فَقَالُوا : لِزَيْنَبَ تُصَلِّي ، فَإِذَا كَسِلَتْ أَوْ فَتَرَتْ أَمْسَكَتْ بِهِ ، فَقَالَ : " حُلُّوهُ " فَقَالَ : " لِيُصَلِّ أَحَدُكُمْ نَشَاطَهُ ، فَإِذَا كَسِلَ أَوْ فَتَرَ فَلْيَقْعُدْ " .
