An Encouragement To Maintain The Cleanliness of Masaajid and Keep Them Fragrant.
Hadith 162:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
A black man or a black woman used to sweep the mosque and he or she died. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked about her (or him). He was told that she (or he) had died. He said, “Why did you not inform me? Show me his grave (or her grave).” So he went to her (his) grave and offered her (his) funeral prayer.”
(Sahih Al-Bukhari 458, Sahih Muslim 956.)
Hadith 163:
On the authority of Samurah bin Jundub who said: The Prophet ﷺ ordered us to build (take as) Masajid in our localities, and ordered us to maintain their cleanliness.
(Musnad Ahmad 5/17, Sahih Li Ghairihi.)
Admonishment Against Spitting In The Masjid and In The Direction of The Qiblah and Announcing Lost Items In The Masjid and The Etiquette of The Masajid.
Hadith 164:
Narrated Ibn `Umar:
The Prophet (ﷺ) saw sputum in the direction of the Qibla of the mosque while he was leading the prayer, and scratched it off. After finishing the prayer, he said, “Whenever any of you is in prayer he should know that Allah is in front of him. So none should spit in front of him in the prayer.”
(Sahih Al-Bukhari 753, Sahih Muslim 547.)
Hadith 165:
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw some sputum in the direction of the Qiblah of the mosque. He turned to the people and said:
“What is wrong with one of you that he stands facing Him (meaning his Lord) and spits in front of Him? Would anyone like to be faced by someone who spits in his face? If anyone of you needs to spit, then let him spit to his left, or let him do like this in his garment.”
(Sunan Ibn Majah 1022, Sahih.)
Hadith 166:
Narrated Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman:
Zirr ibn Hubaysh said: Hudhayfah traced, I think, to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) the saying: He who spits in the direction of the qiblah will come on the Day of Resurrection in the state that his saliva will be between his eyes; and he who eats from this noxious vegetable (garlic and onions) should not come near our mosque, saying it three times.
(Sunan Abi Dawud 3824, [Noxious Vegetables here are garlic and onions- see #3822] , Sahih.)
Hadith 167:
Narrated AbuSahlah as-Sa’ib ibn Khallad:
A man led the people in prayer. He spat towards qiblah while the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was looking at him. The Messenger of Allah said to the people when he finished his prayer: He should not lead you in prayer (henceforth).
Thenceforth he intended to lead them in prayer, but they forbade him and informed him of the prohibition of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) who said to him: Yes.
The narrator said: I think he (the Prophet) said: You did harm to Allah and His Apostle.
(Sunan Abi Dawud 481, Sahih Li Ghairihi.)
Hadith 168:
Abu Huraira reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: If anyone hears a man crying out in the mosque about something he has lost, he should say: May Allah not restore it to you, for the mosques were not built for this.
(Sahih Muslim 568a, Sunan Abi Dawud 473.)
Hadith 169:
Narrated Abu Hurairah:
That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “When you see someone selling or buying in the Masjid then say: ‘May Allah not profit your business.’ And when you see someone announcing about something lost then say: ‘May Allah not return it to you.'”
(Sunan At-Tirmidhi 1321, Sahih.)
Hadith 170:
Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
When one of you does Wudoo at home, then comes to the mosque, he is in a state of prayer till he returns, so do not do like this- and he interlaced his fingers.
(Sahih Ibn Khuzaimah 447, Mustadrak Al-Hakim 1/206, Sahih.)
Hadith 171:
On the authority of Abdullah ibn Amr who said that the Prophet ﷺ said:
“…. And do not take the Masaajid as thoroughfare (roads), (use them not like that) except for Dhikr and Salah.”
(Mujam At-Tabrani in Al-Awsat 31, Hasan, Sahih.)
Hadith 172:
Abdullah ibn Mas’ood said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
There will come in the end of times a people who will discuss worldly matters in their Masaajid. Allaah has no need of them.
(Sahih Ibn Hibban 6723, Hasan.)
