وحَدَّثَنِي حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا الثَّوْرِيُّ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا ، نَشَدَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ دَعَا إِلَى الْجَمَلِ الأَحْمَرِ ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا وَجَدْتَ ، إِنَّمَا بُنِيَتِ الْمَسَاجِدُ لِمَا بُنِيَتْ لَهُ " .
Sulaiman bin Buraida narrated it on the authority of his father that a man cried out in the mosque saying: Who had called out for the red camel? Upon this the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said: May it not be restored to you! The mosques are built for what they are meant.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، لَمَّا صَلَّى ، قَامَ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ دَعَا إِلَى الْجَمَلِ الأَحْمَرِ ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا وَجَدْتَ ، " إِنَّمَا بُنِيَتِ الْمَسَاجِدُ لِمَا بُنِيَتْ لَهُ " .
Sulaiman bin Buraida reported on the authority of his father that when the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) had said prayer a man stood up and said: Who called for a red camel? (Upon this) the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said: May it not be restored to you! The mosques are built for what they are meant.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شَيْبَةَ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ بَعْدَ مَا صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ ، فَأَدْخَلَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَذَكَرَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِهِمَا ، قَالَ مُسْلِم : هُو وَشَيْبَةُ بْنُ نَعَامَةَ أَبُو نَعَامَةَ ، رَوَى عَنْهُ مِسْعَرٌ ، وَهُشَيْمٌ ، وَجَرِيرٌ ، وَغَيْرُهُمْ مِنْ الْكُوفِيِّينَ .
Ibn Buraida narrated it on the authority of his father that a Bedouin came when the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) had completed the morning prayer. He thrust his head in the door of the mosque, and then the hadith (as narrated above) was narrated.

حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ . ح ، قَالَ : وحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ ، عَنِ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ كِلَاهُمَا ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ .
This hadith has been narrated by al-Zubri with the same chain of transmitters.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ حَدَّثَهُمْ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِذَا نُودِيَ بِالأَذَانِ ، أَدْبَرَ الشَّيْطَانُ لَهُ ضُرَاطٌ ، حَتَّى لَا يَسْمَعَ الأَذَانَ ، فَإِذَا قُضِيَ الأَذَانُ أَقْبَلَ ، فَإِذَا ثُوِّبَ بِهَا أَدْبَرَ ، فَإِذَا قُضِيَ التَّثْوِيبُ أَقْبَلَ ، يَخْطُرُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَنَفْسِهِ ، يَقُولُ : اذْكُرْ كَذَا ، اذْكُرْ كَذَا ، لِمَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَذْكُرُ ، حَتَّى يَظَلَّ الرَّجُلُ إِنْ يَدْرِي كَمْ صَلَّى ، فَإِذَا لَمْ يَدْرِ أَحَدُكُمْ كَمْ صَلَّى ، فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ " ,
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When there is a call to prayer the devil runs back breaking the wind so that he may not hear the call, and when the call is complete he comes back. And when the takbir is pronounced he again runs back, and when takbir is over he comes back and distracts a man saying: Remember such and such, remember such and such, referring to something the man did not have in his mind. with the result that he does not know how much he has prayed; so when any one of you is not sure how much he has prayed. he should perform two prostrations while sitting (qa'da).

حَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو ، عَنْ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ إِذَا ثُوِّبَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَلَّى ، وَلَهُ ضُرَاطٌ ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ وَزَادَ : فَهَنَّاهُ وَمَنَّاهُ وَذَكَّرَهُ مِنْ حَاجَاتِهِ ، مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَذْكُرُ .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The devil takes to his heels breaking wind when the prayer begins. and the rest is the same but with this addition:" He (the devil) makes him think of pleasant things (or things productive of enjoyment) and of the things wished for, and reminds him of such needs which he had forgotten."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: The primary purpose of building a mosque is prayer (salah), recitation (tilawah), remembrance and supplications (dhikr wa adhkar), and the teaching of religious knowledge and exhortation. Taking advantage of the gathering of people to announce a lost item is contrary to these objectives. Even Imam Malik rahimahullah considered scholarly debate and discussion to be undesirable if voices are raised as a result. Some scholars are of the opinion that a person cannot even ask for something for his personal need in the mosque; he may only ask for something related to religious necessity or for the benefit of the public.
Therefore, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, despite being the Mercy to the Worlds (rahmatan lil-'alamin), supplicated against the one who announced his lost camel, which proves that it is not permissible to announce the loss of something outside the mosque within the mosque. This is especially the case during the times of prayer and teaching.

Commentary: (1) (Ḍāllah)
It refers to a lost animal, however, this term can also be applied to other lost items.
(2)
The purpose of this supplication against is to express disapproval of such an announcement.
This is also a style of admonition.
(3)
The purpose of constructing mosques is the performance of prayer, exhortation and advice, and teaching and learning; searching for lost things outside the mosque is not among its objectives.
