Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَالْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِذَا قَامَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَلاَ يَمْسَحِ الْحَصَى فَإِنَّ الرَّحْمَةَ تُوَاجِهُهُ " .
Translation
Qutaybah ibn Sa‘id and al-Husayn ibn Hurayth reported to us—the wording is his—from Sufyan, from al-Zuhri, from Abu al-Ahwas, from Abu Dharr, who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “When one of you is standing in prayer, let him not brush away the pebbles, for mercy is facing him.”
