Riyad al-SalihinAl-Nawawi

152 – Abu ʿAbd Allah Jābir ibn Samurah (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: “I used to perform the obligatory prayers with the Prophet ﷺ, and his prayer was of moderate length and his sermon was of moderate length.” Related by Muslim.

His statement “of moderate length” means: midway between long and short.

153 – Abu Juḥayfah Wahb ibn ʿAbd Allah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet ﷺ established a bond of brotherhood (1) between Salmān and Abū al-Dardāʾ. Salmān visited Abū al-Dardāʾ and found Umm al-Dardāʾ in a state of neglect (2). He asked, “What is the matter with you?” She replied, “Your brother Abū al-Dardāʾ has no interest in worldly life.” (3)

Abū al-Dardāʾ then came and prepared some food for him. He said, “Eat, for I am fasting.” Salmān replied, “I will not eat until you eat.” When night fell, Abū al-Dardāʾ got up to pray, but Salmān said, “Sleep,” so he slept. Later he tried to rise again and Salmān again said, “Sleep.” In the last part of the night Salmān said, “Now get up,” and the two of them prayed together.

Salmān then said to him, “Your Lord has a right upon you, your own self has a right upon you, and your family has a right upon you; so give each one who has a right his due.” Abū al-Dardāʾ went to the Prophet ﷺ and related this to him, and the Prophet ﷺ said, “Salmān has spoken the truth.” (4) Reported by al-Bukhārī.

154 – Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Prophet ﷺ was informed that I had said, “By Allah, I shall fast by day and stand in prayer by night for as long as I live.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, “Are you the one who said that?” I replied, “I did indeed say it; may my father and mother be your ransom, O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “You will not be able to keep that up. So fast and break your fast, sleep and stand (in prayer), and fast from…"

(1) A reference to forming bonds of brotherhood and a mutual pact to support one another and fulfill the duties of religion. (2) Meaning: she was wearing plain work clothes and had left off garments of adornment. (3) That is: concerning women. Al-Daraqutni’s version states “among the women of this world,” and Ibn Khuzaymah’s version further adds, “he fasts by day and prays at night.” (4) This hadith legitimizes brotherhood for Allah’s sake, visiting and even staying overnight with such brothers, offering sincere counsel to Muslims, alerting the heedless, the virtue of night prayer, and other related practices. (5) Meaning: may my father and mother be ransomed for you.
