The Book of Mosques and Places of Prayer-03a
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Asma' al-Du'bi and Shu'ayb ibn Furukh narrated to us, saying: Mahdi ibn Maimun narrated to us, saying: Wasil, the freed slave of Abu 'Ubaydah, narrated to us from Yahya ibn 'Aqil from Yahya ibn Ya'mur from Abu al-Aswad al-Dili from Abu Dharr from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: Sahih Muslim 553.
The Shaykh : "Harm is removed from the path" means anything that causes harm, such as a stone, thorn, water, watermelon rind, or anything else. If this is among the best of deeds, then throwing such things into the paths of people is among the worst of deeds. Therefore, a person should be mindful of this issue and not throw anything that harms them into the markets of the Muslims. As for the worst of deeds: phlegm that is in the mosque and is not buried. This is evidence that burying phlegm in the mosque is a collective obligation (fard kifayah), because the sin falls upon everyone. Now, if the mosque has someone to clean it, such as a sweeper or otherwise, is the obligation discharged if one leaves it, or do we say: either you bury it yourself, or you inform them?
The second point, as the scholars said regarding if your neighbor's garment falls onto your roof, or the wind blows your neighbor's garment onto your roof, is it obligatory for you to take it to him? Or is it obligatory for you to do one of two things: take it to him or inform him?
The second point: if you tell so-and-so that the garment has fallen onto our roof, that is sufficient, and he will come and take it. And if you take it to him, that is better.
The deeds of my people, good and bad, were presented before me, and I found the removal of something objectionable from the road among their good deeds, and the sputum mucus left unburied in the mosque among their evil deeds.
