حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ جَبِيرَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنْ يُصَلَّى فِي سَبْعِ مَوَاطِنَ فِي الْمَزْبَلَةِ وَالْمَجْزَرَةِ وَالْمَقْبَرَةِ وَقَارِعَةِ الطَّرِيقِ وَالْحَمَّامِ وَمَعَاطِنِ الإِبِلِ وَفَوْقَ الْكَعْبَةِ .

Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Dimashqi narrated to us: 'Abdullah ibn Yazid narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Ayyub, from Zayd ibn Jubayrah, from Dawud ibn al-Husayn, from Nafi', from Ibn 'Umar, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade praying in seven places: the refuse dump, the slaughterhouse, the cemetery, the middle of the road, the bathhouse, the camel resting places, and above the Ka'bah.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The source lists seven locations, including ‘above the Ka'bah’ literally.
وَفَوْقَ الْكَعْبَةِ
The phrase is unusual and is translated literally; the precise spatial/legal context may need specialist review.
Should ‘above the Ka'bah’ be understood literally in this list of prayer locations?
