(Book 9, Hadith 96) #35476
Setting Aside a Place for Nonsense

SUMMARY: Umar ibn al-Khattab set aside an area near the mosque for people to talk nonsense, recite poetry, and raise their voices.

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Umar ibn al-Khattab set aside an area near the mosque called al-Butayha and said, "Whoever wishes to talk nonsense or recite poetry or raise his voice should go to that area".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، بَنَى رَحْبَةً فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ تُسَمَّى الْبُطَيْحَاءَ وَقَالَ مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَلْغَطَ أَوْ يُنْشِدَ شِعْرًا أَوْ يَرْفَعَ صَوْتَهُ فَلْيَخْرُجْ إِلَى هَذِهِ الرَّحْبَةِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect places of worship by keeping them free from distractions and noise
EXPLANATIONS:
Umar ibn al-Khattab was a companion of Prophet Muhammad and one of the most influential figures in Islamic history. He set aside an area near the mosque called al-Butayha for people to talk nonsense, recite poetry, or raise their voices. This was done so that these activities would not disturb those who were praying or studying in the mosque. This hadith teaches us that it is important to respect places of worship by keeping them free from distractions and noise. We should also be mindful of our behavior when we are in places where others are trying to focus on something important such as prayer or study.
