أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ خُلُقًا فَرُبَّمَا تَحْضُرُهُ الصَّلَاةُ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِنَا فَيَأْمُرُ بِالْبِسَاطِ الَّذِي تَحْتَهُ فَيُكْنَسُ ثُمَّ يُنْضَحُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَنَقُومُ خَلْفَهُ فَيُصَلِّي بِنَا قَالَ وَكَانَ بِسَاطُهُمْ مِنْ جَرِيدِ النَّخْلِ رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِ��حِ عَنْ شَيْبَانَ وَغَيْرِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ
English Translation
Anas ibn Malik said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was the best of people in character. Sometimes the prayer time would come while he was in our house. He would order the mat beneath him to be swept, then sprinkled with water, then he would stand and we would stand behind him, and he would lead us in prayer. Their mat was made of palm fronds. Muslim narrated it in his Sahih from Shayban and others from Abd al-Warith.
