Is it possible to distinguish between the one who prays in a mosque with the intention of visiting the grave itself, and praying in a mosque that contains a grave, but whose intention is the prayer and not the grave?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... previous lessons on this grave, that we distinguish between the one who intends the mosque to visit the grave, and the one who happens to pray while passing by, so he prays.

The Shaykh : This statement is correct, but this does not contradict what we are saying now.

The questioner : Yes, there is a professor, meaning some ... .

The Shaykh : No, no problem.

The questioner : He takes the generalities, it does not mean they understand these issues which are ... .

The Shaykh : We will clarify it. We are not holding a lesson now that gathers the issue from all its sides, rather we are asked and we answer. As for this question you are asking, that you understood it this way, it is correct. And this is also like the one who prays in the times of dislike and does not intend them, but if he is able not to do it, it is not permissible.
The questioner : Yes, I do.

Eid Abbasi : It is present in the book itself.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Most of the mosques today have graves in them, and praying with the intention that it became a necessity because the mosque was for the presence of the grave ... this is what the ruling covers. But if you are walking and the prayer time passed or caught you, and you went and prayed in a mosque with a grave, your ruling is different from ... .

Another questioner : And suddenly you were surprised by the grave.

The Shaykh : No, this must also have a condition, if he does not find a mosque that does not have a grave.

Another questioner : Where ... .

The Shaykh : This is another research where ... . We establish the legal ruling. This ... prayer in this mosque and there is a grave in it, but you know that if you walk two or three minutes to a mosque that does not have a grave and pray in it, this ... the ruling is the same. But if you do not pray in this one, you miss the congregational prayer, so you pray in it and your prayer is valid; because you do not intend to pray in this mosque for the sake of the grave.
Yes.

The questioner : "Do not take my grave as a mosque"; is this a hadith?

The Shaykh : Of course,
but you must not take graves as mosques; I forbid you to do that. ألا فلا تتخذوا القبور مساجد ؛ إني أنهاكم عن ذلك
Sahih Muslim 532
.

The questioner : "Do not take my grave as a mosque"?

Sahih Muslim 532
, this is how the hadith is in "Sahih Muslim".
Yes.

The questioner : A person reached the mosque.

The Shaykh : No, your question was different.

The questioner : ... guided you, it ended.

The Shaykh : It ended, okay, praise be to Allah.

The questioner :
The anger on those who took the graves of their Prophets as places of prostration was terrible. اشتدَّ غضب الله على قوم اتَّخذوا قبور أنبيائهم وصالحيهم مساجد
Muwatta Malik 9:93
.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Okay, another question.

The Shaykh : Here there is no "and the righteous" in this hadith, "and the righteous" is in another hadith.

The questioner : ... the Abyssinians.

The Shaykh : Yes, this
The anger of Allah intensified. اشتدَّ غضب الله
is not from the hadith of Umm Salama, and the hadith of Umm Salama is the one that has "and the righteous".
Yes.
