1133 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «نَهَى أَنْ يُحَلَّقَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ»

Commentary
Arriving at the mosque before the scheduled time for Friday prayer is a meritorious act meriting reward from Allâh, but in the available time one must remain engaged in the remembrance of Allâh and His praise. Sitting in circles here and there, and engaging in idle talks, not only defeats the very purpose of coming to the mosque and violates the decorum of the place, but also becomes a source of annoyance to the worshippers.
