Sunan Abu Dawood 1312

حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهَارُونُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَنَسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَحَبْلٌ مَمْدُودٌ بَيْنَ سَارِيَتَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا هَذَا الْحَبْلُ ؟ فَقِيلَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏هَذِهِ حَمْنَةُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ تُصَلِّي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا أَعْيَتْ تَعَلَّقَتْ بِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لِتُصَلِّ مَا أَطَاقَتْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا أَعْيَتْ فَلْتَجْلِسْ . قَالَ زِيَادٌ:‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا هَذَا ؟ فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ لِزَيْنَبَ تُصَلِّي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا كَسِلَتْ أَوْ فَتَرَتْ أَمْسَكَتْ بِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حُلُّوهُ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لِيُصَلِّ أَحَدُكُمْ نَشَاطَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا كَسِلَ أَوْ فَتَرَ فَلْيَقْعُدْ .

Narrated Anas: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم entered the mosque (and saw that) a rope tied between two pillars. He asked: What is this rope (for) ? The people told him: This is (for) Hamnah bin Jahsh who prays (here). When she is tired, she reclines on it. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: She should pray as much as she has strength. When she is tired, she should sit down. This version of Ziyad has: He said: What is this ? The people told him: This is for Zainab who prays. When she becomes lazy, or is tired, she holds it. He said: Undo it. One of you should pray in good spirits. When he is lazy or tired, he should sit down.
