749 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْبَيْعِ وَالِابْتِيَاعِ وَعَنْ تَنَاشُدِ الْأَشْعَارِ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ»

Commentary
The Hadith further confirms the point made in no.748, namely the prohibition of using the mosque as a marketplace. It is because buying and selling often degenerates into wrangling, giving rise to unseemly noises that are antithetical to the dignity of the mosque. Lines of poetry that promote monotheism and good moral conduct or degrade idolatry and idolaters, are allowed to be recited inside the mosques.
