The Indication of the Hadith of al-Jathiqi Regarding the Obligation of the Greeting of the Mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It contains the hadith of al-Jathiqi (may Allah be pleased with him), and in it is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)
For the man, stand and pray two rak'ahsللرجل قم فصل ركعتين
the hadith. Does this indicate the obligation of the greeting of the mosque, given that he (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded him to do so?

Answer:
No, it does not indicate obligation, because only the five prayers are obligatory. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said
Five prayers are those that Allah has decreedخمس صلوات كتبهن الله
Sunan an-Nasa'i 461Hasan (Darussalam)
in the day and the night. When the Bedouin learned about the five prayers, the Bedouin asked, “Is there anything else required of me?” He said, “No, except for what you volunteer.” This indicates that whatever is other than the five prayers is a sunnah (recommended practice).
