حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ عِيسَى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُهَاجِرٍ، عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَكَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، مُسَيْكَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلاَ نَبْنِي لَكَ بَيْتًا يُظِلُّكَ بِمِنًى قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ مِنًى مُنَاخُ مَنْ سَبَقَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ‏.‏
"We said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Shall we build a structure to shade you at Mina? He said: 'No., Mina is a resting place for whoever arrives.'"
Narrated by Aishah said:

Context

Aishah reported that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ declined the offer to build a shaded structure for him at Mina, emphasizing that Mina is a resting place for travelers. This response reflects the Prophet's humility and his understanding of the transient nature of life. It serves as a reminder of the importance of simplicity and the essence of the pilgrimage experience.

Modern Application

In modern times, this principle can be applied to the way we approach our spiritual journeys. Instead of seeking comfort and luxury, focusing on the essence of the experience can lead to a more meaningful connection with our faith and community.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Prophetic Conduct and Hospitality in Islam because it illustrates the Prophet's humility and his perspective on hospitality during the pilgrimage.
