1013 - حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ»

a. This prayer is called Tahiyyatul-Masjid (Greetings for the mosque). b. If a person enter the mosque, and before sitting down there, he performs some Sunnah or obligatory Salah, then it suffices for Tahiyyatul-Masjid, and there is no need for him to perform an additional Tahiyyatul-Masjid.
