Reports on staying constantly in the mosques

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Wasi' that he said: Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said to his son: "O my son! Let the mosque be your home, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: 'Mosques are the homes of the God-conscious. So whoever has the mosque as his home, Allah Almighty guarantees him mercy and joy, and guarantees him the crossing of the path leading to Paradise.'"

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever goes to the mosque in the morning or goes to the mosque in the evening, Allah Almighty prepares for him a hospitality in Paradise every time he goes to the mosque, morning or evening."

It is narrated from Sa'id bin al-Musayyib that he said: Indeed, some of the servants of Allah are the pegs of the mosques. The angels are their companions. When the angels find them missing, they ask about them. Then if they are ill, the angels visit them, and if they are occupied with some need, the angels help them.

It is narrated from Abd al-Rahman bin Ma'qil that he said: We used to tell one another that the mosque is a strong fortress for protection from Satan.

Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote in a letter to Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him): "Indeed, in the shade of the Throne there will (also) be a man whose heart is attached to the mosque out of love for the mosque."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Mosques are the houses of Allah on earth, and it is a duty upon the one who is visited to honour his visitor."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Any man who goes to the mosque to learn or teach some good, Allah Almighty records for him the reward of a mujahid who returns only with spoils of war."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Whoever performs ablution and performs it well, then comes to the mosque in order to pray in it, this person is a visitor of Allah Almighty, and it is a duty upon the one who is visited to honour his visitor."

It is narrated from Ka'b al-Ahbar that he said: I found in the Book of Allah that any believing servant who goes to the mosque morning and evening, and his going to the mosque morning and evening is only to learn or teach some good, or for the remembrance of Allah and reflection, then his likeness in the Book of Allah is that of a mujahid in the path of Allah.
