Riyad as-Salihin, 1700

As-Sa'ib bin Yazid (May Allah be pleased with him) said:

While I was in the mosque, someone threw a pebble at me, and when I looked up, I saw that it was 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, who said: "Go and call me these two men." I brought them and 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) asked them: "Where are you from?" On their replying that they belonged to At-Taif, he said: "Had you been the inhabitants of Al-Madinah, I would have given you a beating for raising your voices in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)." [Al- Bukhari].

وعن السائب بن زيد الصحابي رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ كنت في المسجد فحصبني رجل، فنظرت فإذا عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه فقال‏:‏ اذهب فائتني بهذين، فجئته بهما، فقال‏:‏ من أين أنتما‏؟‏ فقالا‏:‏ من أهل الطائف، فقال‏:‏ لو كنتما من أهل البلد، لأوجعتكما، ترفعان أصواتكما في مسجد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏!‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Guidance from the Hadith: 1) It is prohibited to raise our voices in the mosque, lest we should distract the worshipers. 2) We are exhorted to respect mosques in general and the Prophet’s Mosque in particular, given its special inviolability and merit. This falls under revering the rituals of Allah Almighty.
