Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ أُمِّ حُمَيْدٍ امْرَأَةِ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ أَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَكَ قَالَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكِ تُحِبِّينَ الصَّلَاةَ مَعِي وَصَلَاتُكِ فِي بَيْتِكِ خَيْرٌ لَكِ مِنْ صَلَاتِكِ فِي حُجْرَتِكِ وَصَلَاتُكِ فِي حُجْرَتِكِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ صَلَاتِكِ فِي دَارِكِ وَصَلَاتُكِ فِي دَارِكِ خَيْرٌ لَكِ مِنْ صَلَاتِكِ فِي مَسْجِدِ قَوْمِكِ وَصَلَاتُكِ فِي مَسْجِدِ قَوْمِكِ خَيْرٌ لَكِ مِنْ صَلَاتِكِ فِي مَسْجِدِي قَالَ فَأَمَرَتْ فَبُنِيَ لَهَا مَسْجِدٌ فِي أَقْصَى شَيْءٍ مِنْ بَيْتِهَا وَأَظْلَمِهِ فَكَانَتْ تُصَلِّي فِيهِ حَتَّى لَقِيَتْ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
English Translation
Harun narrated to us: 'Abdullah ibn Wahb narrated to us, he said: Dawud ibn Qays narrated to me, from 'Abdullah ibn Suwayd al-Ansari, from his aunt Umm Humayd, wife of Abu Humayd al-Sa'idi, that she came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: O Messenger of Allah, I love to pray with you. He said: I know that you love to pray with me, but your prayer in your inner room is better for you than your prayer in your chamber, and your prayer in your chamber is better than your prayer in your house, and your prayer in your house is better for you than your prayer in the mosque of your people, and your prayer in the mosque of your people is better for you than your prayer in my mosque. He said: So she ordered that a place of prayer be built for her in the furthest and darkest part of her house, and she used to pray in it until she met Allah, Mighty and Majestic.
