9. Book of Ṣalāh (4/30)
٩۔ كِتَابُ الصَّلَاةِ ص ٤
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ قَدْ كَانَ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ فِي السَّفَرِ، وَهُوَ نَازِلٌ غَيْرُ سَائِرٍ وَلَا رَاجِلٍ
God willing, you would reach by tomorrow the fountain of Tabuk and you should not come to that until it is dawn, and he who amongst you happens to go there should not touch its water until I come. We came to that and two persons (amongst) us reached that fountain ahead of us. It was a thin flow of water like the shoelace. Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked them whether they had touched the water. They said: Yes. Allah's Apostle ﷺ scolded them, and he said to them what he had to say by the will of God. The people then took water of the fountain in their palms until it became somewhat significant and Messenger of Allah ﷺ washed his hands and his face too in it, and then, took it again in that (fountain) and there gushed forth abundant water from that fountain, until all the people drank to their fill. He then said: Mu'adh, it is likely that if you live long that you see what is here filled with gardens. (Using translation from Muslim 706c)
أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُمْ خَرَجُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَامَ تَبُوكَ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ قَالَ فَأَخَّرَ الصَّلَاةَ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَصَلَّى الظُّهْرَ وَالْعَصْرَ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ دَخَلَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَصَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ وَالْعِشَاءَ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّكُمْ سَتَأْتُونَ غَدًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ عَيْنَ تَبُوكَ وَإِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَأْتُوهَا حَتَّى يَضْحَى النَّهَارُ فَمَنْ جَاءَهَا فَلَا يَمَسَّ مِنْ مَائِهَا شَيْئًا حَتَّى آتِيَ» قَالَ فَجِئْنَاهَا وَقَدْ سَبَقَ إِلَيْهَا رَجُلَانِ وَالْعَيْنُ مِثْلُ الشِّرَاكِ تَبِضُّ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَسَأَلَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَلْ مَسَسْتُمَا مِنْ مَائِهَا؟ » قَالَا نَعَمْ فَسَبَّهُمَا وَقَالَ لَهُمَا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ ثُمَّ غَرَفُوا مِنَ الْعَيْنِ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ قَلِيلًا قَلِيلًا حَتَّى اجْتَمَعَ فِي شَيْءٍ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِيهِ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَعَادَهُ فِيهَا فَجَرَتِ الْعَيْنُ بِمَاءٍ كَثِيرٍ فَاسْتَقَى النَّاسُ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يُوشِكُ بِكَ يَا مُعَاذُ إِنْ طَالَتْ بِكَ حَيَاةٌ أَنْ تَرَى مَا هَاهُنَا قَدْ مُلِئَ جِنَانًا»
ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ أَوْهَمَ غَيْرَ الْمُتَبَحِّرِ فِي صِنَاعَةِ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّ الْجَمْعَ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ فِي الْحَضَرِ لِغَيْرِ الْمَعْذُورِ مُبَاحٌ
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed Zuhr and 'Asr together, and Maghrib and 'Isha' together, when there was no fear and he was not traveling." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 601)
«صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الظُّهْرَ وَالْعَصْرَ جَمِيعًا وَالْمَغْرِبَ وَالْعِشَاءَ جَمِيعًا فِي غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ وَلَا سَفَرٍ»
ذِكْرُ الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي فَعَلَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا وَصَفْنَا
Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed in Medina seven (rak'ahs) and eight (rak'ahs), i. e. (be combined) the noon and afternoon prayers (eight rak'ahs) and the sunset and 'Isha' prayers (seven rak'ahs). (Using translation from Muslim 705f)
«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى بِالْمَدِينَةِ سَبْعًا وَثَمَانِيًا الظُّهْرَ وَالْعَصْرَ وَالْمَغْرِبَ وَالْعِشَاءَ»
9.7 [Machine] The Mosques
٩۔٧ بَابُ الْمَسَاجِدِ
"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Which mosque was built first?' He said: 'Al-Masjid Al-Haram (in Makkah).' I said: 'Then which?' He said: 'then Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa (in Jerusalem).' I said: 'How many years between them?' He said: 'Forty years, but the whole earth is a mosque for you, so pray wherever you are when the time for prayer comes.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 753)
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ مَسْجِدٍ وُضِعَ أَوَّلُ؟ فَقَالَ «الْمَسْجِدُ الْحَرَامُ ثُمَّ الْمَسْجِدُ الْأَقْصَى» قَالَ قُلْتُ كَمْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا؟ قَالَ «كَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا أَرْبَعُونَ سَنَةً وَحَيْثُ مَا أَدْرَكَتْكَ الصَّلَاةُ فَصَلِّ فَثَمَّ مَسْجِدٌ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ خَيْرَ الْبِقَاعِ فِي الدُّنْيَا الْمَسَاجِدُ
[Machine] A man asked the Prophet PBUH, "Which places are the worst?" He replied, "I do not know until I ask Gabriel." So he asked Gabriel, who said, "I do not know until I ask Michael." Then he came back and said, "The best places are the mosques, and the worst places are the markets."
أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَيُّ الْبِقَاعِ شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ «لَا أَدْرِي حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ جِبْرِيلَ» فَسَأَلَ جِبْرِيلَ فَقَالَ لَا أَدْرِي حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ مِيكَائِيلَ فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ «خَيْرُ الْبِقَاعِ الْمَسَاجِدُ وَشَرُّهَا الْأَسْوَاقُ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ أَحَبُّ الْبِلَادِ إِلَى اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا
The parts of land dearest to Allah are its mosques, and the parts most hateful to Allah are markets. (Using translation from Muslim 671)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَحَبُّ الْبِلَادِ إِلَى اللَّهِ مَسَاجِدُهَا وَأَبْغَضُ الْبِلَادِ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَسْوَاقُهَا»
ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ بِنَاءِ مَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ الَّذِي بَنَاهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ عِنْدَ قُدُومِهِمْ إِيَّاهَا
In the lifetime of Messenger of Allah ﷺ the mosque was built of adobes, its roof of the leaves of date-palms and its pillars of the stems of date-palms. Abu Bakr did not alter it. ʿUmar expanded it on the same pattern as it was in the lifetime of Messenger of Allah ﷺ by using adobes, leaves of date-palms and changing the pillars into wooden ones. ʿUthman changed it by expanding it to a great extent and built its walls with engraved stones and lime and made its pillars of engraved stones and its roof of teak wood. (Using translation from Bukhārī 446)
أَنَّ الْمَسْجِدَ كَانَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَبْنِيًّا مِنْ لَبِنٍ وَسَقْفُهُ الْجَرِيدُ وَعُمُدُهُ خَشَبُ النَّخْلِ فَلَمْ يَزِدْ فِيهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ وَزَادَ فِيهِ عُمَرُ ؓ وَبَنَاهُ عَلَى بُنْيَانِهِ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِاللَّبِنِ وَالْجَرِيدِ وَأَعَادَ عُمُدَهُ خَشَبًا ثُمَّ غَيَّرَهُ عُثْمَانُ ؓ وَزَادَ فِيهِ زِيَادَةً كَبِيرَةً وَبَنَى جِدَارَهُ بِالْحِجَارَةِ الْمَنْقُوشَةِ وَجَعَلَ عُمُدَهُ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ مَنْقُوشَةٍ وَسَقَّفَهُ بِالسَّاجِ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ جَوَازِ اتِّخَاذِ الْمَسْجِدِ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي مَوْضِعِ الْكَنَائِسِ وَالْبِيَعِ
[Machine] We sent six delegates to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Five were from the Banu Hanifa tribe, and the sixth was a man from the Dhubiyya ibn Rabiah tribe. We reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , pledged allegiance to him, and prayed with him. We informed him that we had a pact in our land, and we brought him water to seek his blessing. He called for water, performed ablution with it, rinsed his mouth, and poured it into a container for us. Then he said, "Take this water, and when you reach your land, break your pact, pour the water in its place, and build a mosque in its location." We said, "O Messenger of Allah, the journey is long and the water will dry up." He replied, "Extend it with more water, as it will not increase it except in goodness." So we debated among ourselves regarding who would carry the container, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed it to each of us for a day and a night. We carried it until we reached our land, and we did as we were commanded. A monk from Tayy called out to us to pray, and when we called him, he said it was a sincere prayer, then he ran away and was not seen again.
خَرَجْنَا سِتَّةُ وَفْدٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَمْسَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي حَنِيفَةَ وَالسَّادِسُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ ضُبَيْعَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ وَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَهُ وَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ أَنَّ بِأَرْضِنَا بِيعَةً لَنَا وَاسْتَوْهَبْنَاهُ مِنْ فَضْلِ طَهُورِهِ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْهُ وَتَمَضْمَضَ ثُمَّ صَبَّهُ لَنَا فِي إِدَاوَةٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اذْهَبُوا بِهَذَا الْمَاءِ فَإِذَا قَدِمْتُمْ بَلَدَكُمْ فَاكْسِرُوا بِيعَتَكُمْ ثُمَّ انْضَحُوا مَكَانَهَا مِنْ هَذَا الْمَاءِ وَاتَّخِذُوا مَكَانَهَا مَسْجِدًا» فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْبَلَدُ بَعِيدٌ وَالْمَاءُ يَنْشَفُ قَالَ «فَأَمِدُّوهُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَزِيدُهُ إِلَّا طِيبًا» فَخَرَجْنَا فَتَشَاحَحْنَا عَلَى حَمْلِ الْإِدَاوَةِ أَيُّنَا يَحْمِلُهَا فَجَعَلَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لِكُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا يَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً فَخَرَجْنَا بِهَا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا بَلَدَنَا فَعَمِلْنَا الَّذِي أَمَرَنَا وَرَاهِبُ ذَلِكَ الْقَوْمِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ طَيِّئٍ فَنَادَيْنَاهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ الرَّاهِبُ دَعْوَةُ حَقٍّ ثُمَّ هَرَبَ فَلَمْ يُرَ بَعْدُ
ذِكْرُ الْإِبَاحَةِ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يُعِينَ فِي بِنَاءِ الْمَسَاجِدِ وَلَوْ بِنَفْسِهِ
[Machine] He heard Jabir ibn Abdullah say: When the Kaaba was built, the Prophet ﷺ and Abbas were moving the stones. Abbas said to the Prophet ﷺ , "Put your cloak on your shoulder to protect yourself from the stones." So, the Prophet ﷺ did so, and he bent down to the ground, and his eyes glanced towards the sky. Then he stood up and said, "My cloak, my cloak!" And he tightened his cloak on himself.
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ لَمَّا بُنِيَتِ الْكَعْبَةُ ذَهَبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَالْعَبَّاسُ يَنْقُلَانِ الْحِجَارَةَ فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ ضَعْ إِزَارَكَ عَلَى عَاتِقِكَ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ قَالَ فَفَعَلَ فَخَرَّ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَطَمَحَتْ عَيْنَاهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَقَالَ «إِزَارِي إِزَارِي» فَشَدَّ عَلَيْهِ إِزَارَهُ
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمَسْجِدَ الَّذِي أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَى هُوَ مَسْجِدُ الْمَدِينَةِ
[Machine] Two men argued in the mosque that was established on piety. One of them said, "This is the mosque of Madinah," and the other said, "This is the mosque of Quba." So they went to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "This is my mosque."
اخْتَلَفَ رَجُلَانِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الَّذِي أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَى فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا هُوَ مَسْجِدُ الْمَدِينَةِ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ هُوَ مَسْجِدُ قُبَاءَ فَأَتَوَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «هُوَ مَسْجِدِي هَذَا»
ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الْمَسْجِدِ الَّذِي أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَى
[Machine] Two men disagreed about the mosque that was built upon righteousness. One of them said it is the mosque of Madinah, while the other said it is the mosque of Quba. So, they went to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "It is my mosque."
اخْتَلَفَ رَجُلَانِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الَّذِي أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَى فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا هُوَ مَسْجِدُ الْمَدِينَةِ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ هُوَ مَسْجِدُ قُبَاءَ فَأَتَوَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «هُوَ مَسْجِدِي هَذَا»
ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ قَدْ يُوهِمُ مَنْ لَمْ يُحْكِمْ صِنَاعَةِ الْحَدِيثِ أَنَّ خَبَرَ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ الَّذِي ذَكَرْنَاهُ مَعْلُولٌ
"Two men argued about the Masjid which was founded on piety from the first day. [1] One man said that it was the Masjid of Quba', and the other said that it was the Masjid of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'It is this Masjid of mine.'" [1] At-Tawbah 9:108. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 697)
أَنَّهُ قَالَ تَمَارَى رَجُلَانِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الَّذِي أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَى فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ هُوَ مَسْجِدُ قُبَاءَ وَقَالَ آخِرُ هُوَ مَسْجِدُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هُوَ مَسْجِدِي هَذَا»
ذِكْرُ بِنَاءِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ لِمَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا فِي الدُّنْيَا
"I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'Whoever builds a mosque in which the Name of Allah is mentioned, Allah will build a house for him in Paradise.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 735)
أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا يَذْكُرُ فِيهِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا إِنَّمَا يَبْنِي الْبَيْتَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لِبَانِي الْمَسْجِدِ فِي الدُّنْيَا عَلَى قَدْرِ صِغَرِهِ وَكِبَرِهِ
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever builds a mosque, Allah will build for him a similar place in Paradise."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ مِثْلَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا يُدْخِلُ الْمَرْءَ الْجَنَّةَ بِبُنْيَانِهِ مَوْضِعَ السُّجُودِ فِي طُرُقِ السَّابِلَةِ بِحَصًى يَجْمَعُهَا أَوْ حِجَارَةٍ يُنَضِّدُهَا وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَنَى الْمَسْجِدَ بِتَمَامِهِ
"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever builds a mosque for the sake of Allah (from his own wealth), Allah will build a house for him in Paradise.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 737)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ بَنَى لِلَّهِ مَسْجِدًا وَلَوْ كَمَفْحَصِ قَطَاةٍ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ»
ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ ثَانٍ يُصَرِّحُ بِصِحَّةِ مَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ
[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, even the size of a bird's nest, Allah will build a house for him in Paradise."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ بَنَى لِلَّهِ مَسْجِدًا وَلَوْ كَمَفْحَصِ قَطَاةٍ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِبَاحَةِ لِلْمَرْءِ إِذَا كَانَ مَعْذُورًا أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ الْمُصَلَّى فِي بَيْتِهِ لِصَلَوَاتِهِ
"Sometimes it is dark or rainy or there is a flood, and I am a blind man; 0 Messenger of Allah ﷺ, (come and) pray in a place in my house that I may take as a prayer-place." He said: "Where would you like me to pray for you?" He showed him a place in his house, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed there. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 788)
وَأَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّهَا تَكُونُ الظُّلْمَةُ وَالْمَطَرُ وَالسَّيْلُ وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ فَصَلِّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِي بَيْتِي مَكَانًا أَتَّخِذُهُ مُصَلًّى قَالَ فَجَاءَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَيْنَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ؟ » فَأَشَارَ لَهُ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ فَصَلَّى فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ عَنْ تَبَاهِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي بِنَاءِ الْمَسَاجِدِ
[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited people from showing off in mosques."
«نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَتَبَاهَى النَّاسُ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ»
ذِكْرُ الْمَسَاجِدِ الْمُسْتَحَبِّ لِلْمَرْءِ الرِّحْلَةُ إِلَيْهَا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, the best places of transportation are the ones that take me to this mosque and the honorable house."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ خَيْرَ مَا رُكِبَتْ إِلَيْهِ الرَّوَاحِلُ مَسْجِدِي هَذَا وَالْبَيْتُ الْعَتِيقُ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ لَمْ يُرِدْ بِهَذَا الْعَدَدِ نَفْيًا عَمَّا وَرَاءَهُ
Messenger of Allah said: "A mount is not saddled (for a journey) except to three Masajid: Al-Masjid Al-Haram, this Masjid of mine, and Masjid Al-Aqsa." [Abu ʿEisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. (Using translation from Tirmidhī 326)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تُشَدُّ الرِّحَالُ إِلَّا إِلَى ثَلَاثَةِ مَسَاجِدَ الْمَسْجِدُ الْحَرَامُ وَالْمَسْجِدُ الْأَقْصَى وَمَسْجِدِي هَذَا»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ لَمْ يُرِدْ بِهَذَا الْعَدَدِ الْمَذْكُورِ فِي خَبَرِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ النَّفْيَ عَمَّا وَرَاءَهُ
The Prophet ﷺ used to go to the Quba' mosque, sometimes walking, sometimes riding. (Using translation from Bukhārī 7326)
«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْتِي قُبَاءَ رَاكِبًا وَمَاشِيًا»
ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ أَوْهَمَ عَالَمًا مِنَ النَّاسِ أَنَّ شَدَّ الْمَرْءَ الرِّحْلَةَ إِلَى مَسْجِدٍ غَيْرِ الْمَسَاجِدِ الثَّلَاثِ الَّتِي ذَكَرْنَاهَا غَيْرُ جَائِزٍ
“No one should prepare a mount (travel) to visit any mosque except three: the Sacred Mosque, this mosque of mine, and Aqsa Mosque.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1409)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تُشَدُّ الرِّحَالُ إِلَّا إِلَى ثَلَاثَةِ مَسَاجِدَ مَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَمَسْجِدِي هَذَا وَالْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ الْخَارِجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ يُرِيدُ مَسْجِدَ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ أَيِّ بَلَدٍ كَانَ يُكْتَبُ لَهُ بِإِحْدَى خُطْوَتَيْهِ حَسَنَةٌ وَيُحَطُّ عَنْهُ بِأُخْرَى سَيِّئَةٌ إِلَى أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى بَلَدِهِ
[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ who said, "When one of you leaves his house to go to my mosque, there is a foot that records a good deed for him, and another foot that erases a bad deed from him, until he returns."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مِنْ حِينِ يَخْرُجُ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ مَنْزِلِهِ إِلَى مَسْجِدِي فَرِجْلٌ تَكْتُبُ لَهُ حَسَنَةً وَرِجْلٌ تَحُطُّ عَنْهُ سَيِّئَةً حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ»
ذِكْرُ تَضْعِيفِ صَلَاةِ الْمُصَلِّي فِي مَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ مِنَ الْمَسَاجِدِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ bid farewell to a man and said, "Where do you intend to go?" He replied, "I intend to go to Masjid al-Aqsa." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Prayer in this mosque is better than a hundred prayers in any other mosque except for Masjid al-Haram."
وَدَّعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَجُلًا فَقَالَ «أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ؟ » قَالَ أُرِيدُ بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «صَلَاةٌ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ مِائَةِ صَلَاةٍ فِي غَيْرِهِ إِلَّا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ bid farewell to a man and asked, "Where do you intend to go?" The man replied, "I intend to visit the Al-Aqsa Mosque." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "A prayer in this mosque is better than a hundred prayers in any other mosque except for the Haram Mosque (in Mecca)."
وَدَّعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَجُلًا فَقَالَ «أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ؟ » قَالَ أُرِيدُ بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «صَلَاةٌ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ مِائَةِ صَلَاةٍ فِي غَيْرِهِ إِلَّا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ»

Messenger of Allah said: "Salat is this Masjid of mine is better than a thousand Salat in another, except for Masjid Al-Haram." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 325)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «صَلَاةٌ فِي مَسْجِدِي هَذَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفِ صَلَاةٍ فِي غَيْرِهِ إِلَّا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ»

[Machine] Al-Khudri is the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and Al-Umari is the mosque of Quba'. They went out and reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him about that. He said, "This is the mosque of the Messenger of Allah, and in that is much goodness."
الْخُدْرِيُّ هُوَ مَسْجِدُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ الْعُمَرِيُّ هُوَ مَسْجِدُ قُبَاءَ قَالَ فَخَرَجَا حَتَّى جَاءَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلَاهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «هُوَ هَذَا الْمَسْجِدُ مَسْجِدُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَفِي ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ كَثِيرٌ»

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whoever performs prayer in it (the Prophet's Mosque) will receive the reward of an 'Umrah."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ صَلَّى فِيهِ كَانَ كَعَدْلِ عَمْرَةٍ»
ذِكْرُ كَثْرَةِ زِيَارَةِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ قُبَاءَ عَلَى الْأَحْوَالِ

[Machine] "Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ used to come to the Quba Mosque sometimes riding and sometimes walking."
«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْتِي مَسْجِدَ قُبَاءَ رَاكِبًا وَمَاشِيًا»

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْتِي قُبَاءَ مَاشِيًا وَرَاكِبًا»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The journey is only to three mosques: to the Masjid al-Haram, your Mosque (the Prophet's Mosque), and Al-Aqsa Mosque."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّمَا الرِّحْلَةُ إِلَى ثَلَاثَةِ مَسَاجِدَ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَمَسْجِدِكُمْ هَذَا وَإِيلِيَاءَ»

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْتِي قُبَاءَ كُلَّ يَوْمِ سَبْتٍ
ذِكْرُ رَجَاءِ خُرُوجِ الْمُصَلِّي فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كَيَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ
[Machine] Narrated by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Sulaiman ibn Dawud asked Allah the Almighty three times and He granted him two (requests). I hope that He also granted him the third one. He asked for a kingdom that no one after him would deserve, so Allah granted it to him. He asked for a judgment that would be in accordance with his own judgment, so Allah granted it to him. He asked for anyone who comes to this House (Kaaba) with the intention of praying in it, to exit it as he was when his mother gave birth to him. And the Prophet ﷺ said, "I hope that He also granted him the third (request)."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ دَاوُدَ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى ثَلَاثًا فَأَعْطَاهُ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ أَعْطَاهُ الثَّالِثَةَ سَأَلَهُ مُلْكًا لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ وَسَأَلَهُ حُكْمًا يُوَاطِئُ حُكْمَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ وَسَأَلَهُ مَنْ أَتَى هَذَا الْبَيْتَ يُرِيدُ بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ لَا يُرِيدُ إِلَّا الصَّلَاةَ فِيهِ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنْهُ كَيَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ أَعْطَاهُ الثَّالِثَ»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِتَنْظِيفِ الْمَسَاجِدِ وَتَطْيِيبِهَا
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to build mosques in different localities (i.e. in the locality of each tribe separately) and that they should be kept clean and be perfumed. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 455)
«أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِبِنَاءِ الْمَسَاجِدِ فِي الدُّورِ وَأَنْ تُطَيَّبَ وَتُنَظَّفَ»
ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَتَنَخَّمَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَدْفِنَ نُخَامَتَهُ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Spitting in the mosque is a sin and it is expiated by burying the spittle. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 475)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «النُّخَامَةُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ خَطِيئَةٌ وَكَفَّارَتُهَا دَفْنُهَا»
ذِكْرُ إِيذَاءِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا بِمَنْ بَصَقَ فِي قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ
A man led the people in prayer. He spat towards qiblah while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was looking at him. The Messenger of Allah said to the people when he finished his prayer: He should not lead you in prayer (henceforth). Thenceforth he intended to lead them in prayer, but they forbade him and informed him of the prohibition of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said to him: Yes. The narrator said: I think he (the Prophet) said: You did harm to Allah and His Apostle. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 481)
أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَمَّ قَوْمًا فَبَصَقَ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ فَرَغَ «لَا يُصَلِّي لَكُمْ» فَأَرَادَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ لَهُمْ فَمَنَعُوهُ وَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ» وَحَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «إِنَّكَ آذَيْتَ اللَّهَ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ كَفَّارَةِ الْخَطِيئَةِ الَّتِي تُكْتَبُ لِمَنْ بَصَقَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Spitting in the mosque is a sin and it is expiated by burying the spittle. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 475)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْبُصَاقُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ خَطِيئَةٌ وَكَفَّارَتُهَا دَفْنُهَا»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The owner of arrogance will come on the Day of Judgment with arrogance apparent on his face."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَجِيءُ صَاحِبُ النُّخَامَةِ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَهِيَ فِي وَجْهِهِ»

"My nation was shown to me with their good deeds and bad deeds. Among their good deeds I saw a harmful thing being removed from the road. And among their bad deeds I saw sputum in the mosque that had not been removed." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3683)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ أُمَّتِي بِأَعْمَالِهَا حَسَنَةٍ وَسَيِّئَةٍ فَرَأَيْتُ فِي مَحَاسِنِ أَعْمَالِهِمُ الْأَذَى يُمَاطُ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ وَرَأَيْتُ فِي مَسَاوِئِ أَعْمَالِهِمِ النُّخَاعَةَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ لَا تُدْفَنُ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ رَأَى فِي أَعْمَالِ أُمَّتِهِ حَيْثُ عُرِضَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمُحَقَّرَاتِ كَمَا رَأَى الْعَظَائِمَ مِنْهَا
The Apostle of Allah ﷺ said: The deeds of my people, good and bad, were presented before me, and I found the removal of something objectionable from the road among their good deeds, and the sputum mucus left unburied in the mosque among their evil deeds. (Using translation from Muslim 553)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ « عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ أَعْمَالُ أُمَّتِي حَسَنُهَا وَسَيِّئُهَا فَوَجَدْتُ فِي مَحَاسِنِ أَعْمَالِهَا إِمَاطَةَ الْأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ وَوَجَدْتُ فِي مَسَاوِئِ أَعْمَالِهَا النُّخَامَةَ تَكُونُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ لَا تُدْفَنُ»
ذِكْرُ تَفَضُّلِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا بِكَتْبِهِ الصَّدَقَةَ لِلدَّافِنِ النُّخَامَةَ إِذَا رَآهَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ
I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: A human being has three hundred and sixty joints for each of which he must give alms. The people asked him: Who is capable of doing this ? He replied: It may be mucus in the mosque which you bury, and something which you remove from the road; but if you do not find such, two rak'ahs in the forenoon will be sufficient for you. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5242)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فِي الْإِنْسَانِ سِتُّونَ وَثَلَاثُ مِائَةِ مَفْصِلٍ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْ كُلِّ مَفْصِلٍ مِنْهُ بِصَدَقَةٍ» قَالُوا وَمَنْ يُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «النُّخَاعَةُ تَرَاهَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَتَدْفِنُهَا أَوِ الشَّيْءُ تُنَحِّيهِ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ فَرَكْعَتَا الضُّحَى تَجْزِيَانِكَ»
ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ عَنْ أَنْ يَحْضُرَ آكِلُ الشَّجَرَةِ الْخَبِيثَةِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ الْمَسَاجِدَ
Zirr ibn Hubaysh said: Hudhayfah traced, I think, to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the saying: He who spits in the direction of the qiblah will come on the Day of Resurrection in the state that his saliva will be between his eyes; and he who eats from this noxious vegetable should not come near our mosque, saying it three times. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3824)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَكَلَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْبَقْلَةِ الْخَبِيثَةِ فَلَا يَقْرَبَنَّ مَسْجِدَنَا ثَلَاثًا»

"One prayer in the Masjid of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is better than one thousand prayers offered in other mosques, except Al-Masjid Al-Haram, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the last of the prophets and his Masjid was the last of the Masjids." Abu Salamah and Abu 'Abdullah said: "We do not doubt that Abu Hurairah was speaking on the basis of the Hadith of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but we could not verify that Hadith with Abu Hurairah before he died. Then we remembered that and we blamed one another for not having spoken to Abu Hurairah about that, so that he could attribute it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ if he had indeed heard it from him. While we were arguing, we went and sat down with 'Abdullah bin Ibrahim bin Qariz, and we told him about the Hadith and how we had been negligent in not checking it with Abu Hurairah. 'Abdullah bin Ibrahim said to us: 'I bear witness that I heard Abu Hurairah say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I am the last of the prophets and it is the last of the Masjids.'"
