Abu Sa‘id reported that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘If you see a man regularly frequenting the mosque, bear witness to his faith, for Allah, Exalted is He, says: “Only those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish prayer, and give zakat maintain the mosques of Allah…”’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘This hadith is gharīb hasan.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The verb يتعاهد المسجد conveys regular attendance or care for the mosque, rather than a single visit. The Quranic quotation is a fragment ending with ‘the verse.’
