317. Abū Sa‘eed Al-Khudrī narrated that Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said: “All of the earth is a Masjid except for the graveyard and the washroom.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] There are narrations on this topic from ‘Alī, ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Amr, Abū Hurairah, Jābir, Ibn ‘Abbās, Ḥudhaifah, Anas, Abū Umāmah, and Abū Dharr. They say that the Prophet ﷺ said: “The earth has been made
a Masjid for me and a purifier.”
Abū ‘Eisā said: The Hadīth of Abū Sa‘eed has been reported from ‘Abdul-‘Azīz bin Muḥammad in two narrations: In one of them the narrators related the Hadīth from Abū Sa‘eed and in the other his name was not mentioned.
So there is Idtirāb (incoherence) in this Hadīth.
Sufyān Ath-Thawrī narrated it from ‘Amr bin Yahya, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ, which is Mursal.
Ḥammād bin Salamah narrated it from ‘Amr bin Yahya, from his father, from Abū Sa‘eed from the Prophet ﷺ.
Muḥammad bin Ishāq narrated it from ‘Amr bin Yahya from his father. In most cases the narrators say that he (Muḥammad bin Ishāq) said: “from Abū Sa‘eed from the Prophet ﷺ” but he did not (actually) mention: “from Abū Sa‘eed” [from the Prophet ﷺ].
So it is as if the narration of Ath-Thawrī from ‘Amr bin Yahya, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ is the most confirmed and correct, and it is Mursal.
