Chapter on the Virtue of Mosques and Prayer Within Them, and the Virtue of Congregational Prayer and Its Rulings

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ اَلرَّازِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ اَلرَّازِيِّ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ:« اَلاِتِّكَاءُ فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ رَهْبَانِيَّةُ اَلْعَرَبِ وَاَلْمُؤْمِنُ مَجْلِسُهُ مَسْجِدُهُ وَ صَوْمَعَتُهُ بَيْتُهُ»
Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Hassan al-Razi from Abu Muhammad al-Razi from Isma'il ibn Abi Abdillah عليه السلام from his father عليه السلام, peace be upon them both, who said: Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, said: ‘Reclining in the mosque is the monasticism (‘rahbaniyyah’) of the Arabs, and the mosque is the gathering place for the believer, and his monastery (‘sawm'ah’) is his house.’”
