Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 370 — The virtue of keeping to the mosque

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) (in a narration not traced back to the Prophet) that he said: "There is no man who makes the mosques his settled abode (that is, becomes accustomed to staying there often for remembrance and worship), then an illness or some excuse prevents him from attending the mosque, and he then returns (having recovered) to the mosque, except that Allah Almighty shows joy and delight at his return (just as a family rejoices when a lost one or a traveller returns home)."
This narration is sahih as mawquf, and Ibn Abi Dhi'b also narrated it through Sa'id as marfu' (as a saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)), in a shorter form than this.
