Hadith 915

‘Abdallah b. Mas'ud said that in the first two rak'as the Prophet was as though he were on heated stones till he got up.* *A figurative phrase to express the shortening of the sitting during the tashahhud. Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud and Nasa’i transmitted it.

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ كَأَنَّهُ عَلَى الرَّضْفِ حَتَّى يَقُومَ. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ
