Commentary
The mosque is a centre of religion, the Minbar of a mosque is a means of preaching, spreading, protecting and defending the religion. Extolling the Prophet's praise and matters of dignity or defending him is 'Religion'. Therefore reading religious poetry in the mosque is allowed, and such a person is assisted by the holy spirit, Gabriel ﷺ.
