Praying Before the Construction of a Mosque

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) offered prayers at sheep-folds before the construction of the mosque.

Narrated Anas: Prior to the construction of the mosque, the Prophet offered the prayers at sheep-folds.
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو التَّيَّاحِ، يَزِيدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ أَنْ يُبْنَى الْمَسْجِدُ فِي مَرَابِضِ الْغَنَمِ‏.‏

Offer your daily prayer wherever you are as long as it is clean and free from distractions; Be grateful for having access to mosques; Use mosques regularly for your daily prayer; Congregate with other Muslims in mosques when possible.

EXPLANATIONS:
Before the construction of a mosque, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to offer his prayers in sheep-folds. This hadith shows us that even though mosques are important for Muslims to congregate and pray together, it is not necessary for one to have access to a mosque in order to perform their daily prayers. Even if one does not have access to a mosque or any other place of worship, they can still offer their prayers wherever they are as long as it is clean and free from distractions. This hadith also teaches us that we should be grateful for having access to mosques and use them regularly for our daily prayers.
