‘Abdullah Ibn Muhayriz’s statement on speaking in the Masjid

Question

Is this narration authentic?

Ibn Muhayriz (rahimahullah) is reported to have said: “Speaking in the masjid is idle talk, except for one who is praying, or remembering his Rabb, or asking for good or giving good.”

 

Answer

Imam Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration as the statement of ‘Abdullah Ibn Muhayriz ibn Junadah (rahimahullah), a Tabi’i.

‘Abdullah Ibn Muhayriz (rahimahullah) said: “Speaking in the Masjid is regarded to be futile talk, except for the one offering Salah or the one engaged in dhikr [remembering Allah] or the one asking for good or giving good.”

(Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah, Hadith: 36631)
