On the day of Al-Khandaq (the battle of the Trench). the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "They (i.e. pagans prevented us
from offering the middle (the Best) Prayer till the sun had set. May Allah fill their graves, their houses
(or their bodies) with fire."

I sat in a gathering in which the chiefs of the Ansar were present, and `Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Laila
was amongst them. I mentioned the narration of `Abdullah bin `Utba regarding the question of Subai'a
bint Al-Harith. `Abdur-Rahman said, "But `Abdullah's uncle used not to say so." I said, "I am too
brave if I tell a lie concerning a person who is now in Al-Kufa," and I raised my voice. Then I went
out and met Malik bin 'Amir or Malik bin `Auf, and said, "What was the verdict of Ibn Mas`ud about
the pregnant widow whose husband had died?" He replied, "Ibn Mas`ud said, 'Why do you impose on
her the hard order and don't let her make use of the leave? The shorter Sura of women (i.e. Surat-at-
Talaq) was revealed after the longer Sura (i.e. Surat-al-Baqara)." (i.e. Her 'Idda is up till she delivers.)

We used to speak while in prayer. One of us used to speak to his brother (while in prayer) about his
need, till the Verse was revealed:--
"Guard strictly the (five obligatory) prayers, especially the middle (the Best) (`Asr) Prayer and stand
before Allah with obedience (and not to speak to others during the prayers)." Then we were ordered
not to speak in the prayers.
