ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ صَلَاةَ الْمَرْأَةِ كُلَّمَا كَانَتْ أَسْتَرَ كَانَ أَعْظَمَ لِأَجْرِهَا

[Machine] About his aunt, Umm Humaid, the wife of Abu Humaid Al-Sa'idi, she came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I love to pray with you." He said, "I know that you love to pray with me, but your prayer in your house is better than your prayer in your room, and your prayer in your room is better than your prayer in your house, and your prayer in your house is better than your prayer in the mosque of your people, and your prayer in the mosque of your people is better than your prayer in my mosque." Then she commanded that a mosque be built for her in the farthest part of her house, the darkest part, and she used to pray there until she met Allah, the Most High.  

ابن حبّان:٢٢١٧أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ

عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ أُمِّ حُمَيْدٍ امْرَأَةِ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ أَنَّهَا جَاءَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَكَ قَالَ «قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكِ تُحِبِّينَ الصَّلَاةَ مَعِي وَصَلَاتُكِ فِي بَيْتِكَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ صَلَاتِكِ فِي حُجْرَتِكِ وَصَلَاتُكِ فِي حُجْرَتِكِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ صَلَاتِكِ فِي دَارِكِ وَصَلَاتُكِ فِي دَارِكِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ صَلَاتِكِ فِي مَسْجِدِ قَوْمِكِ وَصَلَاتُكِ فِي مَسْجِدِ قَوْمِكِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ صَلَاتِكِ فِي مَسْجِدِي» قَالَ فَأَمَرَتْ فَبُنِيَ لَهَا مَسْجِدٌ فِي أَقْصَى شَيْءٍ مِنْ بَيْتِهَا وَأَظْلَمِهِ وَكَانَتْ تُصَلِّي فِيهِ حَتَّى لَقِيَتِ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا

[Machine] On the authority of his aunt, Umm Humaid, the wife of Abu Humaid al-Sa'idi, she came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I love to pray with you." He said, "I knew that you love to pray with me, but your prayer in your house is better for you than your prayer in your room, and your prayer in your room is better for you than your prayer in your house, and your prayer in your house is better for you than your prayer in the mosque of your people, and your prayer in the mosque of your people is better for you than your prayer in my mosque." So, she commanded that a mosque be built for her in the farthest part of her house and in its darkest part, where she prayed until she met Allah.

"قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكِ تُحِبِّينَ الصَّلاةَ مَعِي، وَصَلاتُكِ في بَيتِكِ خَيرٌ مِنْ صَلاتِكِ فِي حُجْرَتِكِ، وَصَلاتُكِ فِي حُجْرَتِكِ خَيرٌ مِنْ صَلاتكِ فِي دَارِك، وصَلاتُكِ فِي دَاركِ خَيرٌ مِنْ صَلَاتِكِ فِي مَسْجِدِ قَوْمِكِ، وَصَلَاتُكِ فِي مَسْجدِ قَوْمِكِ خَيرٌ مِنْ صَلاتكِ فِي مَسْجِدِي".
