أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ الْقَاضِي قَالَا نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ الْعُطَارِدِيُّ نا أَبِي حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الضَّبِّيُّ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يَرْفَعُ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَرَفًا وَأَشْرَفُ الْمَجَالِسِ مَا اسْتُقْبِلَ بِهِ الْقِبْلَةَ لَا تُصَلُّوا خَلْفَ نَائِمٍ وَلَا مُتَحَدِّثٍ وَاقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّةَ وَالْعَقْرَبَ وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ فِي صَلَاتِكُمْ وَلَا تَسْتُرُوا الْجُدُرَ بِالثَّوْبِ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَرُوِيَ ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ أَبِي الْمِقْدَامِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَرُوِيَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ مُنْقَطِعٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَلَمْ يَثْبُتْ فِي ذَلِكَ إِسْنَادٌ
English Translation
Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz and Abu Bakr the judge informed us... from Ibn Abbas, who attributed the hadith to the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said: Everything has an honor, and the most honorable of sitting places is that which faces the Qiblah. Do not pray behind someone sleeping or conversing. Kill the snake and the scorpion even if you are in prayer. And do not cover the walls with cloth. And he mentioned the hadith. This was also narrated from Hisham bin Ziyad Abu al-Miqdam from Muhammad bin Ka'b. It was also narrated through another disconnected chain from Muhammad bin Ka'b, and no chain of narration has been established for it.
