Whoever offered Salat (prayer) with furnace or fire or any other worshipable thing in front of him but he intended Salat solely for Allah
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Abbas:
The sun eclipsed and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) offered the eclipse prayer and said, "I have been shown the
Hellfire (now) and I never saw a worse and horrible sight than the sight I have seen today."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ انْخَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ قَالَ أُرِيتُ النَّارَ فَلَمْ أَرَ مَنْظَرًا كَالْيَوْمِ قَطُّ أَفْظَعَ
The dislikeness of offering As-Salat (the prayers) in grave-yards
Narrated Ibn `Umar:
The Prophet (ﷺ) had said, "Offer some of your prayers (Nawafil) at home, and do not take your houses as
graves."

(What is said about) offering Salat (Prayer) at the places where the earth had sunk down and Allah's punishment had fallen
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Do not enter (the places) of these people where Allah's punishment had fallen
unless you do so weeping. If you do not weep, do not enter (the places of these people) because
Allah's curse and punishment which fell upon them may fall upon you."
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لاَ تَدْخُلُوا عَلَى هَؤُلاَءِ الْمُعَذَّبِينَ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَكُونُوا بَاكِينَ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا بَاكِينَ فَلاَ تَدْخُلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ لاَ يُصِيبُكُمْ مَا أَصَابَهُمْ

Narrated `Aisha:
Um Salama told Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about a church which she had seen in Ethiopia and which was called
Mariya. She told him about the pictures which she had seen in it. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If any
righteous pious man dies amongst them, they would build a place of worship at his grave and make
these pictures in it; they are the worst creatures in the sight of Allah."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَةُ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ ذَكَرَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَنِيسَةً رَأَتْهَا بِأَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ يُقَالُ لَهَا مَارِيَةُ فَذَكَرَتْ لَهُ مَا رَأَتْ فِيهَا مِنَ الصُّوَرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أُولَئِكَ قَوْمٌ إِذَا مَاتَ فِيهِمُ الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ ـ أَوِ الرَّجُلُ الصَّالِحُ ـ بَنَوْا عَلَى قَبْرِهِ مَسْجِدًا وَصَوَّرُوا فِيهِ تِلْكَ الصُّوَرَ أُولَئِكَ شِرَارُ الْخَلْقِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ
Chapter
Narrated `Aisha and `Abdullah bin `Abbas:
When the last moment of the life of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came he started putting his 'Khamisa' on his face
and when he felt hot and short of breath he took it off his face and said, "May Allah curse the Jews
and Christians for they built the places of worship at the graves of their Prophets." The Prophet (ﷺ) was
warning (Muslims) of what those had done.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ وَعَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ قَالاَ لَمَّا نَزَلَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم طَفِقَ يَطْرَحُ خَمِيصَةً لَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَإِذَا اغْتَمَّ بِهَا كَشَفَهَا عَنْ وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ وَهْوَ كَذَلِكَ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ يُحَذِّرُ مَا صَنَعُوا

The sayings of the Prophet (pbuh) "The earth has been made for me a Masjid (place for praying) and a thing to purify (to perform Tayammum)."
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "I have been given five things which were not given to any amongst the Prophets
before me. These are:
-1. Allah made me victorious by awe (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month's
journey.
-2. The earth has been made for me (and for my followers) a place for praying and a thing to perform
Tayammum. Therefore my followers can pray wherever the time of a prayer is due.
-3. The booty has been made Halal (lawful) for me (and was not made so for anyone else).
-4. Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation exclusively but I have been sent to all mankind.
-5. I have been given the right of intercession (on the Day of Resurrection.)

Sleeping of a woman in the mosque (and residing in it)
Narrated `Aisha:
There was a black slave girl belonging to an 'Arab tribe and they manumitted her but she remained
with them. The slave girl said, "Once one of their girls (of that tribe) came out wearing a red leather
scarf decorated with precious stones. It fell from her or she placed it somewhere. A kite passed by that
place, saw it Lying there and mistaking it for a piece of meat, flew away with it. Those people
searched for it but they did not find it. So they accused me of stealing it and started searching me and
even searched my private parts." The slave girl further said, "By Allah! while I was standing (in that
state) with those people, the same kite passed by them and dropped the red scarf and it fell amongst
them. I told them, 'This is what you accused me of and I was innocent and now this is it.' " `Aisha
added: That slave girl came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and embraced Islam. She had a tent or a small room
with a low roof in the mosque. Whenever she called on me, she had a talk with me and whenever she
sat with me, she would recite the following: "The day of the scarf (band) was one of the wonders of
our Lord, verily He rescued me from the disbelievers' town. `Aisha added: "Once I asked her, 'What is
the matter with you? Whenever you sit with me, you always recite these poetic verses.' On that she
told me the whole story. "

cousin?" She replied, "There was something between us and he got angry with me and went out. He
did not sleep (midday nap) in the house." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked a person to look for him. That person
came and said, "O Allah's Messenger! He (Ali) is sleeping in the mosque." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went there
and `Ali was lying. His upper body cover had fallen down to one side of his body and he was covered
with dust. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) started cleaning the dust from him saying: "Get up! O Aba Turab. Get up!
O Aba Turab (literally means: O father of dust).

Sleeping of a men in the mosque
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I saw seventy of As-Suffa men and none of them had a Rida' (a garment covering the upper part of the
body). They had either Izars (only) or sheets which they tied round their necks. Some of these sheets
reached the middle of their legs and some reached their heels and they used to gather them with their
hands lest their private parts should become naked.

To offer As-Salat (the prayer) whe returning from a journey
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) in the mosque (the sub-narrator Mas`ar thought that Jabir had said, "In the

gave more than what was due to me.

Al-Hadath (passing wind) in the mosque
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The angels keep on asking Allah's forgiveness for anyone of you, as long as he
is at his Musalla (praying place) and he does not pass wind (Hadath). They say, 'O Allah! Forgive
him, O Allah! be Merciful to him."

The construction of (the prophet's pbuh) mosque
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:
In the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (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. `Umar expanded it on the same
pattern as it was in the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) by using adobes, leaves of date-palms and changing
the pillars into wooden ones. `Uthman 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.

To co-operate in building a mosque
Narrated `Ikrima:
Ibn `Abbas said to me and to his son `Ali, "Go to Abu Sa`id and listen to what he narrates." So we
went and found him in a garden looking after it. He picked up his Rida', wore it and sat down and
started narrating till the topic of the construction of the mosque reached. He said, "We were carrying
one adobe at a time while `Ammar was carrying two. The Prophet (ﷺ) saw him and started removing the
dust from his body and said, "May Allah be Merciful to `Ammar. He will be inviting them (i.e. his
murderers, the rebellious group) to Paradise and they will invite him to Hell-fire." `Ammar said, "I
seek refuge with Allah from affliction."

wooden pulpit for him to sit on."
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلٍ قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ أَنْ مُرِي غُلاَمَكِ النَّجَّارَ يَعْمَلْ لِي أَعْوَادًا أَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهِنَّ

Narrated 'Ubaidullah Al-Khaulani:
I heard `Uthman bin `Affan saying, when people argued too much about his intention to reconstruct
the mosque of Allah's Messenger, "You have talked too much. I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'Whoever built
a mosque, (Bukair thought that `Asim, another sub-narrator, added, "Intending Allah's Pleasure"),
Allah would build for him a similar place in Paradise.' "
