صحيح ابن خزيمه
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah
جماع أبواب فضائل المساجد وبنائها وتعظيمهاChapters on Virtues and Construction of Mosques
(603) بَابُ النَّهْيِ عَنْ إِيطَانِ الرَّجُلِ الْمَكَانَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ،
The chapter on the prohibition of reserving a spot in the mosque
Hadith Q1319
وَفِي هَذَا مَا دَلَّ عَلَى أَنَّ الْمَسْجِدَ لِمَنْ سَبَقَ إِلَيْهِ، لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ أَحَقَّ بِمَوْضِعٍ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ مِنْ غَيْرِهِ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: وَأَنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ لِلَّهِ (الْجِنِّ: 18).
And in this is evidence that the right to the mosque belongs to the one who comes to it first. No person has more right over any part of the mosque than another. Allah Almighty says: « وَأَنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ لِلَّهِ » [ سورة الجن : 18 ] "Indeed, the mosques are for Allah."
Hadith 1319
نَا بُنْدَارٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، وَأَبُو عَاصِمٍ ، قَالا : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ مَحْمُودٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شِبْلٍ ، قَالَ : " نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ نَقْرَةِ الْغُرَابِ ، وَافْتِرَاشِ السَّبْعِ ، وَأَنْ يُوَطِّنَ الرَّجُلُ الْمَكَانَ أَوِ الْمَقَامَ كَمَا يُوَطِّنُهُ الْبَعِيرُ " يَعْنِي فِي الْمَسْجِدِ
Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Shibl (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade pecking like a crow (in prayer), spreading the arms like a beast, and reserving a specific place or spot in the mosque for oneself in the manner that a camel designates a place for sitting.
