حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " صَلَّى عَلَى حَصِيرٍ " . قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ أَنَسٍ , وَالْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَحَدِيثُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ، وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ ، إِلَّا أَنَّ قَوْمًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ اخْتَارُوا الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ اسْتِحْبَابًا ، وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ اسْمُهُ : طَلْحَةُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ .

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:

It is understood from the hadith that a person's urine is impure, and if the mosque becomes impure, it should be washed and purified immediately.

One should adopt a gentle attitude with the uninformed and the ignorant, and when choosing between two harms, the lesser harm should be accepted.

If impurity falls on the ground, it is sufficient to pour water over it to remove it; there is no need to dig up the ground.

From another hadith, it is understood that an ignorant person should be taught the ruling with gentleness and affection.

The primary purpose of building mosques is the remembrance of Allah, prayer (salah), admonition and advice, religious education, and recitation of the Qur'an.
And they should be protected from every action that is contrary to the greatness and sanctity of the mosques.
