قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنِّي لَأَكْرَهُ الصَّلَاةَ فِي مَسَاجِدِهِمْ فَقَالَ لَا تَكْرَهْ فَمَا مِنْ مَسْجِدٍ بُنِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى قَبْرِ نَبِيٍّ أَوْ وَصِيِّ نَبِيٍّ قُتِلَ فَأَصَابَ تِلْكَ الْبُقْعَةَ رَشَّةٌ مِنْ دَمِهِ فَأَحَبَّ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُذْكَرَ فِيهَا فَأَدِّ فِيهَا الْفَرِيضَةَ وَ النَّوَافِلَ وَ اقْضِ فِيهَا مَا فَاتَكَ .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, raising it from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from one of his companions who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I dislike praying <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> in their Masjids (of the general Muslims)’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Do not dislike it, for there is none from a Masjid, except that it is built upon a grave of a Prophet<sup>saww</sup> or a successor<sup>as</sup> of a Prophet<sup>as</sup>. He<sup>as</sup> was murdered, so that spot was hit by a sprinkle of his<sup>as</sup> blood, therefore Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Loves it that He<sup>azwj</sup> be Mentioned in it. So perform therein the Obligatory and the optional (<span class="iTxt">Salāts</span>), and payback therein what you missed out on (outstanding <span class="iTxt">Salāts</span>)’.
