This Hadīth proves that the responsibility of running and looking after a mosque is for the people who believe in Allāh and in the Hereafter, establish prayer, pay Zakāt and they have no fear of any other than Allāh, i.e. they do not believe in anyone other than Allāh as the Master of benefits and loss.
