1216 - Ishaq narrated to us, he said: 'Abdah ibn Sulayman informed us, he said: 'Ubaydullah ibn 'Umar narrated to us, from Sa'id ibn Abi Sa'id al-Maqburi, from Abu Salamah, from 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): He used to spread it out during the day, partition it off at night, and pray on it.

Chapter: One Who Prays While Wearing a Silk Drawstring (takkah)
• I said to Ahmad: A man prays while there is a silk drawstring in his trousers? He said: "It does not please me. If it were a patch (alam) on a garment, it would be lighter." I said: Does he repeat the prayer? He said: "I do not know."
(1) Thus it appears in the original; perhaps the correct word is "that" (anna). (2) Perhaps something was omitted here: "he had a mat" (lahu hasir). (3) Thus it appears in the original, while in the [biographical] sources it is "Abu al-Muhallab".
