The Sufficient (Vol 4) · Hadith 1956 (#Ḥadīth #4)

4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ صَلِّ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ وَهُوَ مَسْجِدُ مِنًى وَكَانَ مَسْجِدُ رَسُولِ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) عَلَى عَهْدِهِ عِنْدَ الْمَنَارَةِ الَّتِي فِي وَسَطِ الْمَسْجِدِ وَفَوْقُهَا إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ نَحْواً مِنْ ثَلاثِينَ ذِرَاعاً وَعَنْ يَمِينِهَا وَعَنْ يَسَارِهَا وَخَلْفِهَا نَحْواً مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ فَتَحَرَّ ذَلِكَ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ يَكُونَ مُصَلاَّكَ فِيهِ فَافْعَلْ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ صَلَّى فِيهِ أَلْفُ نَبِيٍّ وَإِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ الْخَيْفَ لأَنَّهُ مُرْتَفِعٌ عَنِ الْوَادِي وَمَا ارْتَفَعَ عَنْهُ يُسَمَّى خَيْفاً.

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il has narrated from af-Fadf ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya and Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar from Abu ‘Abdillah who said, “You should perform Salat (prayer) in Masjid al-Khayf, it is the Masjid of Mina’. The Masjid of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was near the minaret in the center of the Masjid. Above this place toward al-Qiblah (al-Ka‘bah) is thirty yards as well as from its right, left and backsides. If you can perform Salat there then do so because one thousand prophets have performed Salat there. It is called al-Khayf because it is higher than the valley and what is higher is called Khayf.’”
