CHAPTER: About Having Torches In The Masajid.
Narrated Maymunah ibn Saad: I said: Messenger of Allah, tell us the legal injunction about (visiting) Bayt al-Muqaddas (the dome of the Rock at Jerusalem). The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: go and pray there. All the cities at that time were effected by war. If you cannot visit it and pray there, then send some oil to be used in the lamps.
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 صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم finished his prayer, he said: How fine it is!
Abu Salih said: It was said that when a man removed gravels from the mosque, they adjured him.
Abu Hurairah reported (Abu Bakr said that in his opinion he narrated this tradition from the Prophet): The gravels adjure the person when removes them from the mosque.
