كَانَ فِي مِهْنَةِ أَهْلِهِ، فَإِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ

What It Means: Reading in Context
Al-Aswad asked Aisha what the Prophet did at home. This is her complete reply, excerpted from the narration. These are Aisha’s words describing his conduct, rather than a command spoken by the Prophet himself. This entry comes from Sahih al-Bukhari 6039. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
