حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ السُّلَمِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ نَبْهَانَ حَدَّثَنَا عُتْبَةُ بْنُ يَقْظَانَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مَکْحُولٍ عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ جَنِّبُوا مَسَاجِدَکُمْ صِبْيَانَکُمْ وَمَجَانِينَکُمْ وَشِرَائَکُمْ وَبَيْعَکُمْ وَخُصُومَاتِکُمْ وَرَفْعَ أَصْوَاتِکُمْ وَإِقَامَةَ حُدُودِکُمْ وَسَلَّ سُيُوفِکُمْ وَاتَّخِذُوا عَلَی أَبْوَابِهَا الْمَطَاهِرَ وَجَمِّرُوهَا فِي الْجُمَعِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 750
It was narrated from Wiithilah bin Asqa' that the Prophet P.B.U.H said: "Keep your infants, your insane and your evil ones away from your Masjids. Avoid engaging in transactions and disputes, raising your voices, carrying out your prescribed punishments and unsheathing your swords therein. Make places for purification at their gates, and perfume them with incense on Fridays." (Maudhu)
