حديث أَبِي ذَرٍّ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أيُّ مَسْجِدٍ وُضِعَ فِي الأَرْضِ أَوَّلُ قَالَ: الْمَسْجِدُ الْحَرَامُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أيُّ قَالَ: الْمَسْجِدُ الأَقْصى قُلْتُ: كَمْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُمًا قَالَ: أَرْبَعُونَ سَنَةً، ثُمَّ أَيْنَمَا أَدْرَكَتْكَ الصَّلَاةُ بَعْدُ، فَصَلِّ، فَإِنَّ الْفَضْلَ فِيهِ.
I said, "O Allâh's Messenger! Which mosque was first built on the surface of the earth?" He said, "Al-Masjid-ul-Harâm (at Makka).. " I said, "Which was built next?" He replied, "Al-Masjid-ul-Aqsa (at Jerusalem)." I said, "What was the period of construction between the two?" He said, "Forty years." He added, "Wherever (you may be, and) As-Salât (the prayer) time becomes due, perform As-Salât (the prayer) there, for the best thing is to do so [i.e. to offer Salât (prayers) in time]." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 585, Vol. 4)
حديث جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أُعْطِيتُ خَمْسًا لَمْ يُعْطَهُنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ قَبْلِي: نُصِرْتُ بِالرُّعْبِ مَسِيرَةَ شَهْرٍ، وَجُعِلَتْ لِيَ الأَرْضُ مَسْجِدًا وَطَهُورًا، فَأَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي أَدْرَكَتْهُ الصَّلَاةُ فَلْيُصَلِّ، وَأُحِلَّتْ لِيَ الْغَنَائِمُ، وَكَانَ النَبِيُّ ﷺ يُبْعَثُ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ خَاصَّةً وَبُعِثْتُ إِلَى النَّاس كَافَّةً، وَأُعْطِيتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ.
Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "I have been given five (things) which were not given to any amongst the Prophets before me. These are: 1. Allâh تعالى 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 offering Salât (prayer) and a thing to purify (perform Tayammum). Therefore anyone of my followers can offer Salât wherever he is, at the time of Salât (prayer).3. The booty has been made Halâl (lawful) for me (and was not made so for anyone else).4. Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation only, but I have been sent to all mankind.5. I have been given the right of intercession (on the Day of Resurrection.)” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 429, Vol. 1)
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: بُعِثْتُ بِجَوَامِعِ الْكَلِمِ، وَنُصِرْتُ بِالرُّعْبِ، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ أُتِيتُ بِمَفَاتِيحِ خَزَائِنِ الأَرْضِ فَوُضِعَتْ فِي يَدِيقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنْتُمْ تَنْتَثِلُونَهَا.
Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand.” Abû Huraira added: Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم has left the world, and now, you people are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did not benefit by them). ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 220, Vol. 4)

حديث أَنَسٍ قَالَ: قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَنَزَلَ أَعْلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فِي حَيٍّ يُقَالُ لَهُمْ بَنُو عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ، فَأَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِيهِمْ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةَ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ ⦗١٠٥⦘ إِلِى بَني النَّجَّارِ فَجَاءُوا مُتَقَلِّدِي السُّيُوفِ، فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَلَى رَاحِلَته، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ رِدْفُهُ، وَمَلأُ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ حَوْلَهُ، حَتَّى أَلْقَى بِفِنَاءِ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، وَكَانَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُصَلِّي حَيْثُ أَدْرَكَتْهُ الصَّلَاةُ، وَيُصَلِّي فِي مَرَابِضِ الْغَنَمِ، وَأَنَّهُ أَمَرَ بِبِنَاءِ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى مَلإٍ مِنْ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ، فَقَالَ: يَا بَنِي النَّجَّارِ ثَامِنُونِي بِحَائِطِكُمْ هذَا قَالُوا: لَا وَاللهِ لَا نَطْلُبُ ثَمَنَهُ إِلَاّ إِلَى اللهقَالَ أَنَسٌ: فَكَانَ فِيهِ مَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ، قُبُورُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، وَفِيهِ خَرِبٌ، وَفِيهِ نَخْلٌ؛ فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِقُبُورِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَنُبِشَتْ، ثمَّ بِالْخَرِبِ فَسُوِّيَتْ، وَبِالنَّخْلِ فَقُطِعَ فَصَفُّوا النَّخْلَ قِبْلَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ، وَجَعَلوا عِضَادَتَيْهِ الْحِجَارَةَ، وَجَعَلُوا يَنْقُلُونَ الصَّخْرَ وَهُمْ يَرْتَجِزُونَ، وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَعَهُمْ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ:اللهُمَّ لَا خَيْرَ إِلَاّ خَيْرُ الآخِرَهْفَاغْفِرْ لِلأَنْصَارِ وَالْمُهَاجِرَهْ.
When the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم arrived at Al-Madîna, he dismounted at the upper side of Al-Madîna amongst the tribe called Banû ‘Amr bin ‘Aûf. He stayed there for fourteen nights. Then he sent for Banû An-Najjâr, and they came armed with their swords. As if I am looking (just now) as the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was sitting on his Râhila (mount) with Abû Bakr riding behind him and all Banû An-Najjâr around him, till he dismounted at the courtyard of Abû Ayyûb’s house.The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم loved to offer Salât (prayer) wherever the time for As-Salât (the prayer) was due, even at sheep-folds. Later on he ordered that a mosque should be built and sent for some people of Banû An-Najjâr and said, “O Banû An-Najjâr! Suggest to me the price of this (walled) piece of land of yours." They replied, "No! By Allâh! We do not demand its price except from Allâh."Anas رضي الله عنه added: There were graves of pagans in it and some of it was unlevelled and there were some date-palm trees in it. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم ordered that the graves of the pagans be dug out and the unlevelled land be levelled and the date-palm trees be cut down. (So all that was done).They aligned these cut date-palm trees towards the Qiblah of the mosque (as a wall), and they also built two stone side-walls (of the mosque). His companions brought the stones while reciting some poetic verses. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was with them and he kept on saying, "There is no goodness except that of the Hereafter, O Allâh! So please forgive the Ansâr (helpers), and Al-Muhajirah (the emigrants)."( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 420, Vol. 1)
5/2. Chapter:
حديث الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ أَوْ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُحِبُّ أَنَّ يُوَجَّهَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ، فَأنْزَلَ اللهُ (قَدْ نَرَى تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ) فتَوَجَّهَ نَحْوَ الْكَعْبَةِ وَقَالَ السُّفَهَاءُ مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَهُمُ الْيَهُودُ مَا وَلَاّهُمْ عَنْ قِبْلَتِهِمُ الَّتِي كَانُوا عَلَيْهَا قُلْ للهِ الْمَشْرِقُ وَالْمَغْرِبُ يَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ فَصَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ بَعْدَ مَا صَلَّى، فَمَرَّ عَلَى قَوْمٍ منَ الأَنْصَارِ فِي صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ يُصَلُّونَ نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ، فَقَالَ هُوَ يَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَّهُ تَوَجَّهَ نَحْوَ الْكَعْبَةِ؛ فَتَحَرَّفَ الْقَوْمُ حَتَّى تَوجَّهُوا نَحْوَ الْكَعْبَةِ⦗١٠٦⦘ أخرجه البخاري في: ٨ كتاب الصلاة: ٣١ باب التوجه نحو القبلة حيث كان.
Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم offered the Salât (prayer) facing Bait-ul-Maqdis for sixteen or seventeen months, but he loved to face the Ka'ba (at Makka) so Allâh تعالى revealed:"Verily! We have seen the turning of your (Muhammad's صلى الله عليه وسلم ) face towards the heaven." (V.2:144)So the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم faced the Ka'ba and the fools amongst the people namely "the Jews" said, "What has turned them from their Qiblah [prayer direction (toward Jerusalem — ( Bait-ul-Maqdis )] to which they used to face in Salât ?"(Allâh revealed): "Say, (O Muhammad ﷺ) 'To Allâh belongs both the east and the west. He guides whom he wills to a Straight Way.' " (V.2:142)A man offered Salât with the Prophet ﷺ (facing the Ka'ba) and went out. He saw some of the Ansâr offering the ' Asr prayer with their faces towards Bait-ul-Maqdis, he said, "I bear witness that I offered Salât with Allâh's Messenger ﷺ facing the Ka'ba." So all the people turned their faces towards the Ka'ba. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 392, Vol. 1)
حديث الْبَرَاءِ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: صَلَّيْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ أَوْ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا، ثُمَّ صُرِفُوا نَحْوَ الْقِبْلَةِ.
We offered Salât along with the Prophet ﷺ facing Jerusalem for sixteen or seventeen months. Then Allâh ordered him to turn his face towards the Qiblah (at Makka). ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 19, Vol. 6)
حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: بَيْنَا النَّاسُ بِقبَاءٍ فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ إِذْ جَاءَهُمْ آتٍ؛ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَد أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّيْلَةَ قُرْآنٌ، وَقَدْ أُمِرَ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ الْكَعْبَةَ، فَاسْتَقْبِلُوهَا وَكَانَتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ إِلَى الشَّامِ، فَاسْتَدَارُوا إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ.
While the people were offering the Fajr prayer at Qubâ (near Al-Madîna), someone came to them and said: "It has been revealed to Allâh's Messenger ﷺ tonight, and he has been ordered to offer Salât facing the Ka'ba. So turn your faces to the Ka'ba. Those people were facing Shâm (Jerusalem) so they turned their faces towards Ka'ba (at Makka). ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 397, Vol. 1)
5/3. Chapter:
حديث عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَة وَأُمَّ سَلَمَةَ ذكَرَتَا كَنِيسَةً رَأَتَاهَا بِالْحَبَشَةِ، فِيهَا تَصَاوِيرُ، فَذَكَرَتَا ذلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أُولئِكَ إِذَا كَانَ فِيهِمُ الرَّجُلُ الصَّالِحُ فَمَاتَ، بَنَوْا عَلَى قَبْرِهِ مَسْجِدًا، وَصَوَّرُوا فِيهِ تِلْكَ الصُّوَرَ، فَأُولئِكَ شِرَارُ الْخَلْقِ عِنْدَ اللهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ⦗١٠٧⦘ أخرجه البخاري في: ٨ كتاب الصلاة: ٤٨ باب هل تنبش قبور مشركي الجاهلية ويتخذ مكانها مساجد.
Umm Habîba and Umm Salama رضي الله عنهما mentioned about a church they had seen in Ethiopia in which there were pictures. They told the Prophet ﷺ about it, on which he said, "If any religious man dies amongst those people, they would build a place of worship at his grave and make these pictures in it. They will be the worst creature with Allāh on the Day of Resurrection." ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 419, Vol. 1)
حديث عَائِشَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ فِي مَرضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ: لَعَنَ اللهُ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى، اتَّخَذوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ مَسَاجِدَقَالَتْ: وَلَوْلَا ذلِكَ لأبْرَزُوا قَبْرَهُ، غَيْرَ أَنِّي أَخْشى أَنْ يُتَّخَذَ مِسْجِدًا.
'Aîsha رضى الله عنها said, "The Prophet ﷺ in his fatal illness said, 'Allāh cursed the Jews and the Christians because they took the graves of their Prophets as places for worship,' 'Aîsha added, "Had it not been for that, the grave of the Prophet ﷺ would have been made prominent but I am afraid it might be taken (as a) place for worship." ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 414, Vol. 2).
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: قَاتَلَ اللهُ الْيَهُودَ، اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ.
Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "May Allāh's Curse be on the Jews, for they built the places of worship at the graves of their Prophets." ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 428, Vol. 1 )
