Hadith 1012
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ الْحِزَامِيُّ ، وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ كَاسِبٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَسْجِدَ ، فَلَا يَجْلِسْ حَتَّى يَرْكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “When anyone of you enters the mosque, let him not sit down until he performs two Rak’ah.”
Brief Explanation
1؎: That is, he should perform two units (rak‘ahs) of the greeting of the mosque (tahiyyat al-masjid), and if he begins any other sunnah or obligatory (fard) prayer upon entering, then the greeting of the mosque will be fulfilled, and there will be no need to perform it separately. From this hadith, it is understood that when one enters the mosque, he should perform two rak‘ahs, and this ruling is general and inclusive of every situation. Thus, even if the imam is delivering the sermon (khutbah) and someone enters the mosque at that time, he should still perform two rak‘ahs before sitting down. This is explicitly stated in the hadith of Sulaik Ghatafani radi Allahu anhu, and this is the position of the Ahl al-Hadith.
