حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْجُشَمِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ شُرَيْحٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْأَسْوَدِ يَعْنِي مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ يَقُولُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَوْلَی شَدَّادٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ سَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَنْشُدُ ضَالَّةً فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَلْيَقُلْ لَا أَدَّاهَا اللَّهُ إِلَيْکَ فَإِنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ لَمْ تُبْنَ لِهَذَا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 473
Abu Hurairah reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying; if anyone hears a man crying out in the mosque about something he has lost, he should say: May Allah not restore it to you, for the mosque were not built for this.
