**Reports concerning prostration upon something other than the earth without any specific excuse**<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. **Anas ibn Malik** reported: <\/strong>
\nHis grandmother Mulaykah invited the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) to a meal she had prepared for him. He ate from it and then said: \u201cStand so that I may pray for you.\u201d <\/strong>
\nAnas said: \u201cI stood up to a mat of ours that had become dark from long use. I sprinkled it with water. The Messenger of God stood (to pray), I lined up, the orphan stood behind him, and the old woman stood behind us.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Narrated by al\u2011Bukhari in his *Sahih* (1\/101).<\/strong><\/p>\n

In *Sahih al\u2011Nasa\u2019i* (2\/57) with the wording: <\/strong>
\nUmm Sulaym asked the Messenger of God to come and pray in her house so that she might designate it as a prayer place. He came, and she went to a mat, sprinkled it with water, and he prayed upon it, and they prayed with him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the wording of Ibn Majah in his *Sunan* (1\/255): <\/strong>
\nOne of my uncles prepared food for the Prophet and said: \u201cI would like you to eat in my house and pray there.\u201d He went to him, and in the house was a *fahl* (type of mat). He ordered that one side of it be swept and sprinkled with water, then he prayed and we prayed with him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abu Abdullah Ibn Majah said: <\/strong>
\n\u201cAl\u2011fahl is a mat that has become dark (from use).\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThe Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) would take a midday rest at the house of Umm Sulaym. She would spread a leather mat for him, collect his perspiration, and mix it with her perfume. She would also spread a *khumrah* (small mat), and he would pray upon it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In *al\u2011Sunan* (2\/436) with the wording: <\/strong>
\nThe Messenger of God had the best character. Sometimes the time of prayer would come while he was in our house. He would order that the mat beneath him be swept, then he would stand and we would stand behind him and he would lead us in prayer. <\/strong>
\nIt was said that their mat was made from palm branches.<\/strong><\/p>\n
