Does the hadith (Whoever prays Fajr and then sits remembering Allah until the sun rises has the reward of an 'Umrah) mean that he must remain in the mosque, or is it permissible for him to go home?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The hadith states that whoever prays the Fajr prayer and then sits supplicating to Allah the Exalted and Majestic until the sun rises beautifully has the reward of a complete 'Umrah, a complete 'Umrah. Does this hadith mean that he will remain in the mosque until the sun rises beautifully, or if he prays in the mosque and then goes home?
The Shaykh : No, he must remain in the mosque!
The questioner : In the mosque. But if he goes home, does he not get it?
The Shaykh : He does not get this reward, of course. As Allah the Exalted said:[Ar-Ra'd 13:8] If he remembers Allah there until the sun rises, he gets his reward.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : But this specific virtue is for that manner mentioned in the hadith.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : No, he must remain in the mosque!
The questioner : In the mosque. But if he goes home, does he not get it?
The Shaykh : He does not get this reward, of course. As Allah the Exalted said:
And everything with Him is by due measure.
كل شيء عنده بمقدارThe questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : But this specific virtue is for that manner mentioned in the hadith.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
