Sunan Abi Dawud 612 (Book 2, Hadith 222) #20903
The Prophet's Prayer with Anas and an Orphan

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) led a prayer with Anas and an orphan behind him, while the old women stood behind them.

Anas b. Malik said that his grandmother Mulaikah the Messenger of Allah to take meals which she prepared for him. He took some of it and prayed. He said : Get up, I shall lead you in prayer. Anas said: I got up and took a mat which had become black on account of long use. I then washed it with water. The Messenger of Allah stood upon it. I and the orphan (Ibn Abi Dumairah, the freed slave of the prophet) stood in a row behind him. The old women stood behind us. He then led us in two raka'at of prayer and left.
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ جَدَّتَهُ، مُلَيْكَةَ دَعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِطَعَامٍ صَنَعَتْهُ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ قُومُوا فَلأُصَلِّيَ لَكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَقُمْتُ إِلَى حَصِيرٍ لَنَا قَدِ اسْوَدَّ مِنْ طُولِ مَا لُبِسَ فَنَضَحْتُهُ بِمَاءٍ فَقَامَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَصَفَفْتُ أَنَا وَالْيَتِيمُ وَرَاءَهُ وَالْعَجُوزُ مِنْ وَرَائِنَا فَصَلَّى لَنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's prayer with his companion, Anas b. Malik, and an orphan behind him. The old women also stood behind them in the prayer. This hadith teaches us that we should be kind to orphans and respect elderly people as they are wise and have valuable knowledge to share with us. It also shows us how important it is to pray regularly as it was something that was very important for the Prophet himself to do every day. Furthermore, this hadith teaches us that we should always be humble when praying no matter who we are or what our status is in society; even if you are a prophet like Muhammad, you should still show humility when praying by standing on a mat which has been used for many years instead of something new or luxurious.
