حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ كَثِيرِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حِمْيَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ جَبِيرَةَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ خِصَالٌ لاَ تَنْبَغِي فِي الْمَسْجِدِ لاَ يُتَّخَذُ طَرِيقًا وَلاَ يُشْهَرُ فِيهِ سِلاَحٌ وَلاَ يُنْبَضُ فِيهِ بِقَوْسٍ وَلاَ يُنْشَرُ فِيهِ نَبْلٌ وَلاَ يُمَرُّ فِيهِ بِلَحْمٍ نِيءٍ وَلاَ يُضْرَبُ فِيهِ حَدٌّ وَلاَ يُقْتَصُّ فِيهِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ وَلاَ يُتَّخَذُ سُوقًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Yahya ibn 'Uthman ibn Sa'id ibn Kathir ibn Dinar al-Himsi narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Humayr narrated to us: Zayd ibn Jubayrah al-Ansari narrated to us, from Dawud ibn al-Husayn, from Nafi', from Ibn 'Umar, from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: ‘There are matters that should not be done in the mosque: it should not be used as a thoroughfare; weapons should not be displayed there; a bow should not be drawn there; arrows should not be spread there; raw meat should not be carried through it; legal punishments should not be administered there; no one should be subjected to retaliation there; and it should not be used as a marketplace.’
