Sunan an-Nasai 690 (Book 8, Hadith 3) #15298
Prayer Anywhere

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of prayer and how it can be done anywhere, even on the street.

It was narrated that Ibrahim said: "I used to recite Qur'an to my father on the road, and if I recited a verse in which prostration was required, he would prostrate. I said: 'O my father, do you prostrate on the street?' He said: 'I heard Abu Dharr say: "I asked the Messenger of Allah : 'Which Masjid was built first?' He said: 'Al-Masjid Al-Haram'. 1 I said: 'Then which?' He said: 'Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa'. 2 I said: 'How long was there between them?' He said: 'Forty years. And the earth is a Masjid (or a place of prostration) for you, so wherever you are when the time for prayer comes, pray'." 1 In Makkah. 2 "Furthest Masjid", meaning the Masjid in Jerusalem.

This hadith is about the importance of prayer and how it can be done anywhere. It was narrated by Ibrahim that his father used to recite Qur'an with him on their travels, and if a verse required prostration, he would prostrate. When asked why he was doing this on the street, his father replied that he heard Abu Dharr say that Prophet Muhammad said that wherever you are when it's time for prayer, you should pray there as the earth itself is a place of prostration. This hadith teaches us to always remember Allah and take advantage of any opportunity to pray no matter where we are or what we're doing.
