اُردوEn
أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ الْفَضْلِ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، ثنا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، ثنا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: " قُمْتُ يَوْمًا أُصَلِّي وَبَيْنَ يَدِيَّ قَبْرٌ لَا أَشْعُرُ بِهِ فَنَادَانِي عُمَرُ: الْقَبْرَ الْقَبْرَ، فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ يَعْنِي الْقَمَرَ، فَقَالَ لِي بَعْضُ مَنْ يَلِينِي: إِنَّمَا يَعْنِي الْقَبْرَ فَتَنَحَّيْتُ عَنْهُ " ⦗٦١١⦘ وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ كَرِهَ أَنْ يُصَلَّى إِلَى حَشٍّ أَوْ حَمَّامٍ، أَوْ قَبْرٍ، وَكُلُّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْكَرَاهِيَةِ إِذَا لَمْ يُعْلَمْ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي تُصِيبُهُ بِبَدَنِهِ وَثِيَابِهِ نَجَاسَةٌ؛ لِمَا رُوِّينَا فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ الثَّابِتِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " جُعِلَتْ لِيَ الْأَرْضُ طَيِّبَةً طَهُورًا وَمَسْجِدًا، وَأَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أَدْرَكَتْهُ الصَّلَاةُ صَلَّى حَيْثُ كَانَ ".
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was standing in prayer and there was a grave in front of me, which I was not aware of. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) called out to me: "The grave, the grave!" I kept thinking he was saying "the moon". Those near me told me that he meant "the grave", so I moved away from it.
(b) Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) disliked praying facing a toilet, a bathhouse or a grave.
(c) All of this is by way of dislike, as long as no impurity is known in the spot that one's body and clothes touch, because of what is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the hadith: "The earth has been made pure, a means of purification and a mosque for me; so any man whom the time of prayer reaches should pray wherever he is."
