2174 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to me; ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi narrated to me; Mālik ibn Anas narrated to us, who said: “ʿUrwah once saw a man praying and shortening it greatly, so he called him over and said, ‘Had you no need to lay before your Lord? I, for my part, ask Allah—glorified and exalted is He—during my prayer even for salt.’”
