এ হাদীসে ঘর অথবা তাঁবুর চৌকাঠের উপর মাথা রেখে শুয়ে থাকার কথা বলা হয়েছে। বর্ণনাকারীর সন্দেহ হয়ে গেছে সাহাবী যায়েদ (রাঃ) ঘর শব্দ বলেছেন না তাবু শব্দ বলেছেন। এটা হচ্ছে হাদীস বর্ণনার ক্ষেত্রে মুহাদ্দিসগণের অধিক সতর্কতাঁর পরিচয়। তারা সামান্য একটু সন্দেহ হলেও তা প্রকাশ করেছেন। তবে এখানে ঘর শব্দ না হয়ে তাঁবু শব্দটিই হবে। কারণ মুহাদ্দিসগণের মতে এটা কোন এক সফরের ঘটনা ছিল। তখন তাঁর সাথে স্ত্রীদের কেউ ছিলেন না। এজন্য যায়েদ ইবনে খালেদ রাসূলুল্লাহ (সাঃ) এর রাতের আমল পর্যবেক্ষণ করেছেন।

Those who are of the opinion that witr is one rak'ah, say that two rak'ahs nafl were performed six times and one rak'ah witr. The total of which is thirteen. Those who are of the opinion that witr is three rak'ahs, say that a total of fifteen rak'ahs were performed. Thirteen rak'ahs are counted in this manner, that the first two rak'ahs of tahiyyatul wudu are not included in a few narrations. "Then he Performed two rak'ahs shorter than the previous one". This instead of being mentioned four times, is only mentioned thrice. In this case besides the two short rak'ahs of tahiyyatul wudu which is mentioned in the beginning, the total amounts to ten nafl rak'ahs. In such a case there is no other way but to accept witr as three rak'ahs. If witr is taken to be one rak'ah, then the total shall not amount to thirteen rak'ahs.

In this hadith it is mentioned that Sayyidina Zayd bin Khaalid, ,AI-Juhani -Radiyallahu 'Anhu slept on the threshold of the house or a tent of Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam. A narrator of this hadith is in doubt that did the teacher say the threshold of the house or that of the tent. The muhadditheen always took great care to convey the correct wordings. When in a little doubt, they always made this clear. It is evident that this was on the threshold of a tent, as this incident took place on a journey. When Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam was in Madina, he slept at the house of one of his wives, and Sayyidina Zayd bin Khaalid Radiyallahu 'Anhu did not get a chance to observe this here. On a journey Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam may have slept alone in a tent, it is possible that none of his wives were accompanying him. In such as instance this probability is understood. Therefore this is most correct. The majority of the 'ulama say, this incident was at the time of a journey.
