744 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ أَعْيَنَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الْحِيطَانِ تُلْقَى فِيهَا الْعَذِرَاتُ، فَقَالَ «إِذَا سُقِيَتْ مِرَارًا، فَصَلُّوا فِيهَا» يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

Commentary
Repeated watering in the gardens turns the excrements etc., used in them (as manure) into soil and almost completely changes its character. The earth, therefore, should be considered as clean. The Hadith proves that any unclean piece of land, when cleansed, becomes fit for erecting a mosque into it and for performing prayers in it.
