Hadith on Family: The Prophet would busy himself serving his family and doing household chores

Al-Aswad reported that he asked Aisha, “What did the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم do in his house?”


She replied, “He used to keep himself busy serving his family and when it was the time for prayer he would go out for it.”


[Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 11, Number 644]


Book of Friday Prayers, Chapter: Whoever helps the needs of his family, and the call is established and he goes out (for prayer)

عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَصْنَعُ فِي بَيْتِهِ قَالَتْ كَانَ يَكُونُ فِي مِهْنَةِ أَهْلِهِ ـ تَعْنِي خِدْمَةَ أَهْلِهِ ـ فَإِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ أَبْوَابُ صَلَاةِ الْجَمَاعَةِ وَالْإِمَامَةِ – بَاب مَنْ كَانَ فِي حَاجَةِ أَهْلِهِ فَأُقِيمَتْ الصَّلَاةُ فَخَرَجَ
