Arabic text

1409 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَا تُشَدُّ الرِّحَالُ إِلَّا إِلَى ثَلَاثَةِ مَسَاجِدَ: مَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَمَسْجِدِي هَذَا وَالْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى "

Commentary

Undertaking a journey towards any other mosque, grave, mountain or cave for purposes of visiting it or earning reward from it is prohibited. People going for the annual pilgrimage (Hajj), while going from Makkah to Al-Madinah should only go there with the intention of visiting the mosque of the Prophet ﷺ, not his grave, since we are not commanded to undertake journeys for purposes of visiting graves.
