عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ”لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَتَبَاهَى النَّاسُ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The Hour will not be established until people begin to boast to one another regarding their mosques.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … There are two forms of boasting: (1) Expressing it verbally, as people nowadays are often heard saying that their mosque is very beautiful and spacious, the stone used in it is very valuable, its minarets are so tall, the carpet laid in it is of such-and-such type, and the woodwork in it has been done with great skill, while the administrators listening to this feel pleased by it. (2) Expressing it through actions, for example, by engaging in excessive embellishment and adornment of the mosque, and inwardly thinking that our mosque is superior to all other mosques, and sometimes even expressing this verbally.

Whether anyone admits it or not, in one form or another, this boasting is found among most people in both of its forms, except those whom Allah wills. For further details, see Hadith number (1365).
