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

إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ عَنِ اَلنَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« نَهَى اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ عَنْ رَطَانَةِ اَلْأَعَاجِمِ فِي اَلْمَسَاجِدِ»
Ibrahim ibn Hashim from al-Nawfali from al-Sakuni from Imam Ja’far عليه السلام, from his father عليه السلام, from his forefathers, peace be upon them, who said: Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, peace be upon him and his family, forbade the speaking of foreign languages (ratanat al-a‘ajim) in the mosques.” (meaning to preserve arabic clarity, reverence, and unity in worship)
