"عَن المَعْرور بْنِ سُويدٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ بَيْنَ مَكَّة والمَدِينَةِ فَصَلَّى بِنَا الفَجْرَ ثُمَّ رَأى أَقْوَامًا يَنْزِلُونَ فَيُصَلُّونَ فِى مَسْجِدٍ، فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُمْ فَقَالُوا: مَسْجدٌ صَلَّى فِيهِ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ قَالَ: إِنَّما هَلَك مَنْ كانَ قَبْلكم أَنَّهم اتخذوا آثار أنبيائهم بِيَعًا، مَنْ مَرَّ بِشْئٍ منْ هَذِهِ المَساجِدِ فحضرت الصَّلَاةُ فَليُصَلَّ وَإِلَّا فَلْيَمْضِ".

"From al-Maʿrūr b. Suwayd, who said: I was with ʿUmar between Mecca and Medina, and he led us in the dawn prayer. Then he saw people stopping and praying in a mosque, so he asked about them. They said: 'It is a mosque in which the Prophet ﷺ prayed.' He said: 'Those before you were destroyed only because they took the traces of their prophets as places of worship. Whoever passes by any of these mosques and the time for prayer arrives, let him pray; otherwise, let him move on.'".
