Hadith 7758
٧٧٥٨ - حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش عن المعرور بن سويد قال: خرجنا مع عمر في حجة حجها، فقرأ بنا في الفجر: ﴿أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ﴾ و ﴿لِإِيلَافِ قُرَيْشٍ﴾، فلما قضى حجه ورجع والناس يبتدرون فقال: ما هذا؟ فقالوا: مسجد صلى فيه رسول اللَّه ﷺ فقال: هكذا هلك أهل الكتاب، اتخذوا آثار أنبيائهم بيعًا، من عرضت له منكم فيه الصلاة فليصل، ومن لم تعرض له منكم فيه الصلاة فلا يصل (١).
Hazrat Suwaid narrates that we went for Hajj with Hazrat Umar. During the Fajr prayer, he recited Surah Al-Fil and Surah Quraysh. When he completed the Hajj and was returning, people started running quickly at a certain place. Hazrat Umar asked, "What is here?" He was told that this is the place where the Prophet (peace be upon him) had prayed. He said, "The People of the Book were destroyed for this very reason; they turned the relics of their prophets into places of worship. What should be done is that if the time for prayer comes while you are here, then pray; and if it is not the time for prayer, then do not pray."
