Benefits of the Hadith: (The rewards of my Ummah were presented to me, even the removal of a speck of dust by a man from the mosque)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : It is derived from this hadith that Allah revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the rewards of the Ummah, as He said: Sunan Abi Dawud 461Da'if (Al-Albani).
Among its benefits is the encouragement to clean the mosque, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) assigned a reward for this, even if the debris is small. However, if the debris is ritually impure, it is obligatory to remove it and purify its place. If it is not ritually impure but is harmful to the worshippers, it is also obligatory to remove it. If it is not harmful but is contrary to complete cleanliness, then it is recommended to remove it.
Among the benefits of this hadith is the exaltation of the status of mosques and that they should be clean and purified from all harm. This does not contradict what was mentioned previously about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not encouraging the construction of mosques, because this refers to the harm and the like found in the land, in the ground of the mosque.
The rewards of my people were presented before me
