حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ کَاسِبٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَسَدِيِّ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَوْلَی شَدَّادِ بْنِ الْهَادِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ سَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَنْشُدُ ضَالَّةً فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَلْيَقُلْ لَا رَدَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْکَ فَإِنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ لَمْ تُبْنَ لِهَذَا
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 767
It was narrated from Abu ,Abdullah, the freed slave of Shaddad bin Had…. that he heard Abu Hurairah say: "I heard the Messenger of Allah p.b.u.h say: '"Whoever hears a man making a lost-and-found announcement in the Masjid, let him say: "May Allah not return it to you!" For the Masjids were not built for that.'" (Sahih)
