English narration
Narrated by عبد الله بن عمر العدوي
Abu al-Walid said: I asked Ibn Umar about the gravel spread pin the mosque. He replied: One night the rain fell and the earth was moistened. A man was bringing the gravel (broken stones) in his cloth and spreading it beneath him. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he said: How fine it is!
النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ تَمَّامِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ ، سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ عَنِ الْحَصَى الَّذِي فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَقَالَ : "
مُطِرْنَا ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَأَصْبَحَتِ الْأَرْضُ مُبْتَلَّةً فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَأْتِي بِالْحَصَى فِي ثَوْبِهِ فَيَبْسُطُهُ تَحْتَهُ ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ : مَا أَحْسَنَ هَذَا
