The reward of prayer outside the Prophet’s Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Prayer in this mosque of mine is better than a thousand prayers in any other) Some people say: The one who prayed outside the Prophet’s Mosque does not get this multiplication, even if the rows are connected. Is this statement correct?
It is correct, unless the Companions contradicted it. If the Companions contradicted it, then put his statement on the ground. The Companions did contradict it; because 'Umar expanded the Prophet’s Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Muslims prayed in it, and they considered it the Prophet’s Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him). Likewise, 'Uthman expanded it from the qiblah side as well, and the Messenger’s Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him) became behind the people, and the people came to the first row in 'Uthman’s expansion (may Allah be pleased with him) during the time of the Companions. So we do not know if this man is more knowledgeable than the Companions or more pious than the Companions? Neither this nor that. And a hadith was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (That his mosque is his mosque, even if it extends to 'Aden) Where is 'Aden? In the farthest part of Yemen. So the Messenger’s Mosque, however far it extends, even if it reaches several rows, it is the Messenger’s Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him).
The questioner: He says: The one who prayed outside the building, and the rows are connected, this is not included in the multiplication, unlike the one who prayed inside?The Shaykh: Yes, it is correct that he did not pray inside it, but he prayed outside the mosque, but the congregation is one.And as mentioned in the hadith: (They are the people; their companion does not suffer because of them) And this is regarding the one who sat in a circle of dhikr seeking a worldly matter.
So what we see is that if the rows are connected, the ruling is one, if Allah wills.
And glory be to You, O Allah, our Lord, and praise be to You. I testify that there is no deity but You. I seek Your forgiveness and I repent to You.
