He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Al-Masjid al-Haram." I asked: "Then which was built after that?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Al-Masjid al-Aqsa."

Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Wherever the time of prayer finds you, perform the prayer there, for that is a mosque."

In one narration, it is mentioned: They asked Sayyiduna Uthman bin Talha, may Allah be pleased with him, why the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, had called him. He said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to me: I saw the horns of a ram inside the House of Allah (Baytullah), and I forgot to instruct you to cover them, so now cover them, because it is not appropriate that there should be anything in the House of Allah that distracts the worshipper. Imam Sufyan said: Those two horns of the ram remained in the House of Allah until the House of Allah caught fire, and then they too were burnt.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: I saw Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and whichever part of him I looked at, I would see it in myself as well, as if Ibrahim (peace be upon him) is just like your companion (Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him and his family).

Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: If I had stayed in prison as long as Yusuf, peace be upon him, stayed, and then a caller had come to me, I would have immediately accepted his word, but Yusuf, peace be upon him, said: "Return to your master and ask him about the women who cut their hands; surely my Lord is well aware of their plot." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, further said: May Allah have mercy on Lut, peace be upon him; he said to his people: "Would that I had strength to resist you or could betake myself to some powerful support." (Surah Hud: 80) After him, whenever Allah sent a prophet, He sent him among a multitude of his people.

By this, he (peace and blessings be upon him) meant one group. Upon hearing this, the other group stopped their hands. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: Shoot arrows (why have you stopped?). They said: O Messenger of Allah! How can we shoot when you are with Banu so-and-so? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Go ahead and shoot, I am with all of you.

Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: If I had stayed in prison as long as Yusuf (peace be upon him) stayed, and then a messenger came to me, I would have immediately accepted his word, whereas when the messenger came to Yusuf (peace be upon him), he said: Return to your master and ask him about the women who cut their hands; surely my Lord is well aware of their plot.
