Prayer — Hadith #870

He reported that he had heard God’s Messenger say, “Do not turn your houses into graves,* and do not make my grave a place to gather as for visitation, but invoke blessings on me, for your blessing will reach me wherever you are.”

*This is most probably a figurative expressive indicating that a house in which prayer is not offered is like a grave, as God is not worshipped there.

Nasa’i transmitted it.
