<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br> 1) It is disliked to leave the mosque after the Adhān for those who are obligated to offer the prayer, except for a valid excuse, lest people may think ill of him.<br> 2) It shows the merit of attending the congregational prayer and how the Shariah is keen that it should not be missed.<br> <br> <b>Benefit:</b><br> In an authentic Hadith, the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “No one hears the Adhān in this mosque of mine and then leaves it for some need and does not return except for a hypocrite.” [Narrated by Al-Tabarāni in Al-Awsat]<br> Although the Hadith speaks specifically about the Prophet’s Mosque, the meaning applies to all mosques, based on the numerous Hadiths proving the obligation of attending the congregational prayers, and if a person leaves the mosque, without a valid excuse, he may miss this obligation, and Allah knows best.
