Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Muhammad bin Wasi’ that he says Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said to his son: O my son! The mosque should be your home. Because I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: “Mosques are the homes of the God-fearing. So whoever makes the mosque his home, Allah guarantees for him mercy and happiness, and guarantees for him to cross the path leading to Paradise.”
