٦٨٩ - أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ أَنْ يَتَبَاهَى النَّاسُ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ».

Commentary
If the mosque is well-attended, there is no harm in making it beautiful and grand. If, however, it is not well-attended, the said act is then worthy of condemnation. It occurs in a detailed Hadīth, that, before the Hour, people will build grand and lofty mosques, but they will remain unfrequented.
