"I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'Whoever comes to this mosque of mine, and only comes for a good purpose, such as to learn or to teach, his status is like that of one who fights in Jihad in the cause of Allah. Whoever comes for any other purpose, his status is that of a man who is keeping an eye on other people's property.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 227)  

أحمد:٩٤١٩حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الْخَرَّاطِ عَنِ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ جَاءَ مَسْجِدِي هَذَا لَمْ يَأْتِ إِلَّا لِخَيْرٍ يَتَعَلَّمُهُ أَوْ يُعَلِّمُهُ فَهُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَمَنْ جَاءَه لِغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ رَجُلٍ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَتَاعِ غَيْرِهِ

"مَنْ جَاءَ مَسْجِدِي هَذَا لَمْ يَأْتِه إلا لِخَيرٍ يَتَعَلَّمُهُ أَو يُعَلِّمُهُ، فَهُو بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْمُجَاهِدِ في سَبِيلِ اللهِ، وَمَنْ جَاءَ لِغَيرِ ذَلِكَ، فَهُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الرَّجُل يَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَتَاعِ غَيرِهِ".
