حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ حَيْوَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، مَوْلَى شَدَّادِ بْنِ الْهَادِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ

يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ سَمِعَ رَجُلاً يَنْشُدُ ضَالَّةً فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَلْيَقُلْ لَا رَدَّهَا اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ فَإِنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ لَمْ تُبْنَ لِهَذَا»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: 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 mosques were not built for this.

মুহাম্মাদ ইবনু হাতিম ও আবূ মা'ন আর রাকাশী (রহঃ) ..... সালিম মাওলা আল মাহরী (রহঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি ও আবদুর রহমান ইবনু আবূ বকর (রাযিঃ) সা'দ ইবনু আবী ওয়াক্কাস এর জানাযার উদ্দেশে বের হলাম। আমরা আয়িশাহ (রাযিঃ) এর ঘরের দরজায় সম্মুখ দিয়ে যাচ্ছিলাম। তখন তিনি (সালিম) আয়িশাহ (রাযিঃ) এর সূত্রে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম হতে অবিকল হাদীস বর্ণনা করেন।

What it means

This Hadīth teaches us that if we find someone asking in the mosque about something he has lost, we should say to him: "May Allah not restore it to you" or "May you not find it", according to another narration. This aims at scolding such a person for his lack of reverence for the mosque. Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarified the reason for this rebuke, saying: "Indeed, mosques were not built for this."

In fact, mosques are built for remembering Allah, the Almighty; prayer; knowledge; good discussions; and so on. Therefore, as the seeker of a lost item in the mosque has used this sacred place for a purpose not befitting it, he deserves supplication against him that he may not find his lost property. This is to punish him by giving him the opposite of what he seeks and also to intimidate others and repel them from doing the same.

Overall, the Hadīth falls under commanding the right and forbidding the wrong, with the relevant conditions. If the supplication deters such a person and makes him stop, that is good; otherwise, it should be repeated.
