حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ أَعْيَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَسُئِلَ، عَنِ الْحِيطَانِ، تُلْقَى فِيهَا الْعَذِرَاتُ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا سُقِيَتْ مِرَارًا فَصَلُّوا فِيهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏.‏

Muhammad ibn Yahya narrated to us: 'Amr ibn 'Uthman narrated to us: Musa ibn A'yan narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Ishaq narrated to us, from Nafi', from Ibn 'Umar. He was asked about courtyards where dung is thrown, and said: ‘If they have been watered several times, then pray in them.’ He traced this report back to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
