Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) fell off a horse and his leg or shoulder got injured. He swore that he would not
go to his wives for one month and he stayed in a Mashruba (attic room) having stairs made of
date palm trunks. So his companions came to visit him, and he led them in prayer sitting, whereas his
companions were standing. When he finished the prayer, he said, "Imam is meant to be followed, so
when he says 'Allahu Akbar,' say 'Allahu Akbar' and when he bows, bow and when he prostrates,
prostrate and if he prays standing pray, standing. After the 29th day the Prophet (ﷺ) came down (from the
attic room) and the people asked him, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! You swore that you will not go to your
wives for one month." He said, "The month is 29 days."
