حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ السَّعْدِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ التَّيْمِيِّ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ أَقْرَأُ عَلَى أَبِي الْقُرْآنَ فِي السُّدَّةِ ، فَإِذَا قَرَأْتُ السَّجْدَةَ ، سَجَدَ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : يَا أَبَتِ ، أَتَسْجُدُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ ؟ قَالَ : إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ، يَقُولُ : " سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، عَنْ أَوَّلِ مَسْجِدٍ وُضِعَ فِي الأَرْضِ ؟ قَالَ : الْمَسْجِدُ الْحَرَامُ ، قُلْتُ : ثُمَّ أَيٌّ ؟ قَالَ : الْمَسْجِدُ الأَقْصَى ، قُلْتُ : كَمْ بَيْنَهُمَا ؟ قَالَ : أَرْبَعُونَ عَامًا ، ثُمَّ الأَرْضُ لَكَ مَسْجِدٌ ، فَحَيْثُمَا أَدْرَكَتْكَ الصَّلَاةُ ، فَصَلِّ " .
Ibrahim bin Yazid al-Tayml reported: I used to read the Qur'an with my father in the vestibule (before the door of the mosque). When I recited the ayat (verses) concerning prostration, he prostrated himself. I said to him: Father, do you prostrate yourself in the path? He said: I heard Abu Dharr (RA) saying: I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about the mosque that was first set up on the earth. He said: Masjid Haram. I said: Then which next? He said: The Masjid al-Aqsa. I said: How long is the space of time between the two? He said: Forty years. He (then) further said: The earth is a mosque for you, so wherever you are at the time of prayer, pray there.
