Sahih

الْمَسْجِدِ يَكُونُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ مِنْ غَيْرِ ضَرَرٍ بِالنَّاسِ

A mosque on the road, provided it causes no harm to people

لَمْ أَعْقِلْ أَبَوَىَّ إِلاَّ وَهُمَا يَدِينَانِ الدِّينَ، وَلَمْ يَمُرَّ عَلَيْنَا يَوْمٌ إِلاَّ يَأْتِينَا فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم طَرَفَىِ النَّهَارِ بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيَّةً، ثُمَّ بَدَا لأَبِي بَكْرٍ فَابْتَنَى مَسْجِدًا بِفِنَاءِ دَارِهِ، فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ وَيَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ، فَيَقِفُ عَلَيْهِ نِسَاءُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، وَأَبْنَاؤُهُمْ يَعْجَبُونَ مِنْهُ وَيَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ، وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَجُلاً بَكَّاءً لاَ يَمْلِكُ عَيْنَيْهِ إِذَا قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ، فَأَفْزَعَ ذَلِكَ أَشْرَافَ قُرَيْشٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ

Translation

Aishah reported: Ever since I could understand, I never knew my parents except as following the religion. Not a day passed us without the Messenger of Allah ﷺ coming to us at both ends of the day, morning and evening. Then a thought occurred to Abu Bakr, and he built a mosque in the courtyard in front of his house. He would pray in it and recite the Qur'an, and the women of the polytheists and their sons would stand by him, marvelling at him and looking at him. Abu Bakr was a man who wept much; he could not control his eyes when he recited the Qur'an. That alarmed the nobles of Quraysh among the polytheists.

Translator’s note: This took place in Makkah before the emigration (hijrah).

Aischa berichtete: Seit ich verständig wurde, kannte ich meine Eltern nur so, dass sie der Religion folgten. Und es verging kein Tag, an dem der Gesandte Allahs ﷺ nicht an beiden Enden des Tages zu uns kam, morgens und abends. Dann kam Abu Bakr ein Gedanke, und er baute im Hof vor seinem Haus eine Moschee. Er betete darin und las den Koran, und die Frauen der Götzendiener und ihre Söhne blieben bei ihm stehen, wunderten sich über ihn und schauten ihn an. Abu Bakr war ein Mann, der viel weinte; er konnte seine Augen nicht beherrschen, wenn er den Koran las. Das erschreckte die Vornehmen der Quraisch unter den Götzendienern.

Translator’s note: Das geschah in Mekka vor der Auswanderung (Hidschra).

Türkçe

Âişe (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Aklım erdiğinden beri anne babamı hep dine bağlı olarak bildim. Resûlullah'ın ﷺ günün iki ucunda, sabah ve akşam bize gelmediği hiçbir gün geçmezdi. Sonra Ebû Bekir'in (r.a.) aklına bir şey geldi ve evinin önündeki avluda bir mescid yaptı. Orada namaz kılar ve Kur'ân okurdu. Müşriklerin kadınları ve oğulları onun başında durur, ona hayret eder ve ona bakarlardı. Ebû Bekir çok ağlayan bir adamdı; Kur'ân okuduğunda gözlerine hâkim olamazdı. Bu durum Kureyş müşriklerinin ileri gelenlerini korkuttu.

Translator’s note: Bu olay hicretten önce Mekke'de geçmiştir.
