Further reports on the sanctity of mosques and the things forbidden in them, such as interlacing the fingers, carrying out legal punishments and selling

Sayyiduna Jubayr bin Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Swords should not be drawn in the mosque nor arrows scattered; oaths by the name of Allah should not be sworn in the mosques; no one should be prevented from taking a midday rest in the mosques, whether he is a resident or a guest; images should not be made (in the mosques), nor should they be adorned with glass. They have been built for the trust (that is, for performing worship), and they have been ennobled with honour."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains a narrator, Bishr bin Jabalah, who is da'if (weak).

A freed slave of Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Once I was with Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), and he was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). They entered the mosque, and there was a man sitting in the middle of the mosque in the ihtiba' posture (knees drawn up and held), with his fingers interlaced. the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) even gestured towards him, but the man did not understand the gesture of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When any of you is in the mosque, he should not interlace his fingers, for interlacing the fingers is from Satan; and as long as a person remains in the mosque, he is counted as being continuously in prayer until he leaves the mosque."
Ahmad recorded it, and its chain is hasan (good).

Sayyiduna Jubayr bin Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The prescribed punishments (hudud) should not be carried out in the mosques."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains a narrator, al-Waqidi, who is da'if (weak).

Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Wathilah (may Allah be pleased with him) say: We heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Keep away from your mosques your children, your insane, your disputes, your raised voices, the drawing of your swords and the carrying out of your prescribed punishments; burn incense in them once a week; and set up places of purification at the doors of your mosques." I say: Ibn Majah recorded the hadith narrated by Sayyiduna Wathilah (may Allah be pleased with him).
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains a narrator, al-Ala' bin Kathir al-Laythi al-Shami, who is da'if (weak).

Makhul narrated it as marfu' up to Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated it as a marfu' hadith up to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he said: "Keep your mosques away from your children, your disputes, your prescribed punishments, and your buying and selling; perfume them on your Fridays, and set up your places of purification at their doors."
Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; Makhul did not hear from Sayyiduna Mu'adh. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: the hadith of Sayyiduna Jubayr bin Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him), that prescribed punishments are not to be carried out in mosques, will come later, at the end of the chapter on prescribed punishments.

Muhammad bin Ubaydullah narrates: We were with Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) in the mosque when a man turned some arrows over. Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Does this man not know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade turning weapons over in the mosque?
Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains Abu al-Bilad, whom Abu Hatim declared da'if (weak).
