923 - ثَوابُ المَشيِ إلَى المَساجِدِ

923. The Reward for Walking to THE MOSQUES

2930.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : مَن مَشى‏ إلى‏ مَسجِدٍ يَطلُبُ فيهِ الجَماعَةَ كانَ لَهُ بكُلِّ خُطوَةٍ سَبعونَ ألفَ حَسَنةٍ ، ويُرفَعُ لَهُ مِن الدَّرَجاتِ مِثلُ ذلكَ ، وإن ماتَ وهُو على‏ ذلكَ وكَّلَ اللَّهُ بهِ سَبعينَ ألفَ مَلَكٍ يَعُودُونَهُ في قَبرِهِ ، ويُؤنِسُونَهُ في وَحدَتِهِ ، ويَستَغفِرُونَ لَهُ حتّى‏ يُبعَثَ .¹

2930.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'He who walks to a mosque intending to join the congregation gets the equivalent of seventy thousand good deeds for every step he takes, and he is raised as many levels, and if he dies on the way, Allah assigns seventy thousand angels to visit him in his grave to keep him company in his loneliness and to seek forgiveness for him until the day he is raised again.' ²

922 - عِمارَةُ المَساجِدِ

922. MAINTAINING THE MOSQUES

(إِنَّما يَعْمُرُ مَساجِدَ اللَّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَاليَومِ الْآخِرِ وَأَقامَ الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَى الزَّكاةَ وَلَمْ يَخْشَ إِلَّا اللَّهَ فَعَسَى‏ أُولئِكَ أَنْ يَكُونُوا مِنَ المُهْتَدِينَ).¹

"Only those shall maintain Allah's mosques who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and establish the prayer and give the zakat, and fear no one except Allah. They, hopefully, will be among the guided." ²

2928.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله - وقد سَألَهُ أبو ذَرٍّ عن كَيفيّةِ عِمارَةِ المَساجِدِ - : لا تُرفَعُ فيها الأصواتُ ، ولا يُخاضُ فيها بالباطِلِ ، ولا يُشتَرى‏ فيها ولا يُباعُ ، واترُكِ اللَّغوَ ما دُمتَ فيها ، فإن لَم تَفْعَل فلا تَلُومَنَّ يَومَ القِيامَةِ إلّا نَفسَكَ .³

2928. The Prophet (SAWA) was asked by Abu Dharr how to maintain the mosques, to which he replied, 'Voices should not be raised therein, nor engrossment in wrongdoing. There should be no buying or selling, and all vain talk must be shunned as long as you are inside. If you do not do this, then you will have no one to blame but yourself on the Day of Resurrection.' ⁴

2929.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : مَن بَنى‏ مَسجِداً بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ بَيتاً في الجَنَّةِ .⁵

2929.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'He who builds a mosque, Allah will order a house to be built for him in Paradise.' ⁶
