Hadith text: Do not turn your houses into graves. Indeed, Satan runs…
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه: أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «لَا تَجْعَلُوا بُيُوتَكُمْ مَقَابِرَ، إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَنْفِرُ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي تُقْرَأُ فِيهِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ».
Explanation of the hadith: Do not turn your houses into graves. Indeed, Satan runs…
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbids us from failing to pray in our houses, thus making them like graveyards where prayer is not offered.
Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that the devil runs away from the house in which Surat al-Baqarah is recited.
Lessons: Do not turn your houses into graves. Indeed, Satan runs…
- It is recommended to perform much worship and voluntary prayers at home.
- It is not permissible to offer prayers in the graveyards, for this leads to polytheism and immoderate reverence for those buried in those graves. An exception is the permissibility of funeral prayer.
- The prohibition against praying at the graves was well-established among the Companions, so the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them from turning their houses like graveyards where prayer is not performed.
