Accorging to Jabir b. ʿAbd Allah (ra), the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “The earth has been made for me a place of prostration and a means of purification, so when the time for ritual prayer comes, wherever a man of my umma happens to be, let him perform the ritual prayer there.” (al-Nasaʾi, al-Masajid, 42)
ʿUthman b. ʿAffan (ra) decided to rebuild the mosque (of Allah’s Messenger in Medina) but the people did not like this idea and they wished that it should be preserved in the same (old) form. Thereupon he (ʿUthman) said, “I heard Allah’s Messenger (saw) saying, ‘He who builds a mosque for Allah, Allah would build for him (a house) in Paradise like it.’” (Muslim, al-Zuhd, 44)
Abu Hurayra (ra) reported that the Prophet (saw) said, “If a Muslim regularly attends the mosque to perform ritual prayer and to remember Allah, Allah feels pleased with him, just as the family of a person, who is away from his family, feels glad when he comes back to them.” (Ibn Maja, al-Masajid, 19)
ʿAʾisha (ra) said, “the Messenger of Allah (saw) commanded us to build mosques in different localities (i.e., in the locality of each tribe separately) and that they should be kept clean and be perfumed.” (Abu Da’ud, al-Salat, 13; al-Tirmidhi, al-Jumʿa, 64)
According to Jabir b. ʿAbd Allah (ra), the Prophet (saw) said, “Whoever has eaten garlic or onion, should keep away from us, or should keep away from our mosque and should stay at home.” (al-Bukhari, al-Iʿtisam, 24)
