The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever smoothes the pebbles, then he has engaged in Laghw.”* *Meaning he has done what is not suitable.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ مَسَّ الْحَصَى فَقَدْ لَغَا  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, concerning smoothing the pebbles during prayer: ‘If you must do that, then do it only once.’”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي مَسْحِ الْحَصَى فِي الصَّلاَةِ إِنْ كُنْتَ فَاعِلاً فَمَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘When anyone of you gets up to perform prayer, then indeed mercy is facing him, so he should not smooth the pebbles.’”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ فَإِنَّ الرَّحْمَةَ تُوَاجِهُهُ فَلاَ يَمْسَحِ الْحَصَى
