Chapter 53: (What is said about) offering Salat (Prayer) at the places where the earth had sunk down and Allah's punishment had fallen - كتاب الصلاة
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:
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 ".
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."

Chapter 54: To offer As-Salat (the prayer) in a church or in a temple etc. - كتاب الصلاة
Narrated `Aisha:
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 ".
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."
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.

Chapter 56: 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)." - كتاب الصلاة
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.)
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. "

Chapter 58: Sleeping of a men in the mosque - كتاب الصلاة
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d:
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَيْتَ فَاطِمَةَ، فَلَمْ يَجِدْ عَلِيًّا فِي الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ " أَيْنَ ابْنُ عَمِّكِ ". قَالَتْ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ شَىْءٌ، فَغَاضَبَنِي فَخَرَجَ فَلَمْ يَقِلْ عِنْدِي. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لإِنْسَانٍ " انْظُرْ أَيْنَ هُوَ ". فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ رَاقِدٌ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهْوَ مُضْطَجِعٌ، قَدْ سَقَطَ رِدَاؤُهُ عَنْ شِقِّهِ، وَأَصَابَهُ تُرَابٌ، فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَمْسَحُهُ عَنْهُ وَيَقُولُ " قُمْ أَبَا تُرَابٍ، قُمْ أَبَا تُرَابٍ ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went to Fatima's house but did not find `Ali there. So he asked, "Where is your
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 (ﷺ)! 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).
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.

Chapter 59: To offer As-Salat (the prayer) whe returning from a journey - كتاب الصلاة
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
حَدَّثَنَا خَلاَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَارِبُ بْنُ دِثَارٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ـ قَالَ مِسْعَرٌ أُرَاهُ قَالَ ضُحًى ـ فَقَالَ
" صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ". وَكَانَ لِي عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَانِي وَزَادَنِي.
I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) in the mosque (the sub-narrator Mas`ar thought that Jabir had said, "In the
forenoon.") He ordered me to pray two rak`at. He owed me some money and he repaid it to me and
gave more than what was due to me.
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."
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.
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."
A woman said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall I get something constructed for you to sit on as I have a
slave who is a carpenter?" He replied, "Yes, if you like." So she had that pulpit constructed.

Narrated 'Ubaidullah Al-Khaulani:
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، أَنَّ بُكَيْرًا، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ عَاصِمَ بْنَ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ الْخَوْلاَنِيَّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ، يَقُولُ عِنْدَ قَوْلِ النَّاسِ فِيهِ حِينَ بَنَى مَسْجِدَ الرَّسُولِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَّكُمْ أَكْثَرْتُمْ، وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ
" مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا ـ قَالَ بُكَيْرٌ حَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ـ يَبْتَغِي بِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ، بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ مِثْلَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ".
I heard `Uthman bin `Affan saying, when people argued too much about his intention to reconstruct
the mosque of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), "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.' "
(on the authority of his father) The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever passes through our mosques or markets
with arrows should hold them by their heads lest he should injure a Muslim."

Once I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) at the door of my house while some Ethiopians were playing in the
mosque (displaying their skill with spears). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was screening me with his Rida' so as to
enable me to see their display. (`Urwa said that `Aisha said, "I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) and the Ethiopians
were playing with their spears.")

Barirah came to seek my help regarding her manumission (freedom). I told herself you like I would pay your price
to your masters but your Wala' (allegiance) would be for me." Her masters said, "If you like, you can
pay what remains (of the price of her manumission), (Sufyan the sub-narrator once said), or if you like
you can manumit her, but her (inheritance) Al-Wala would be for us. "When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came, I
spoke to him about it. He said, "Buy her and manumit her. No doubt Al-Wala' is for the manumitted."
Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood on the pulpit (or Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ascended the pulpit as Sufyan once said),
and said, "What about some people who impose conditions which are not present in Allah's Book
(Laws)? Whoever imposes conditions which are not in Allah's Book (Laws), his conditions will be
invalid even if he imposed them a hundred times."
In the mosque l asked Ibn Abi Hadrad to pay the debts which he owed to me and our voices grew
louder. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) heard that while he was in his house. So he came to us raising the curtain of
his room and said, "O Ka`b!" I replied, "Labaik, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "O Ka`b! reduce your
debt to one half," gesturing with his hand. I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have done so." Then Allah's
Apostle said (to Ibn Abi Hadrad), "Get up and pay the debt to him."

A black man or a black woman used to sweep the mosque and he or she died. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked
about her (or him). He was told that she (or he) had died. He said, "Why did you not inform me?
Show me his grave (or her grave)." So he went to her (his) grave and offered her (his) funeral prayer."
