Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: What is the reason for this hadith, “Allah does not return his lost one”?
Answer:
If he asks about its reason, it is because he is asking in the mosque, for the mosque is not a place for worldly affairs. It is for the remembrance of Allah, for prayer, and for worship. As for worldly affairs, their place is in the markets. Therefore, when you enter the mosque, you say: “I ask You by the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Compassionate. I seek refuge in Allah the Great, in His noble face, and in His mighty authority from the accursed Shaytan. O Allah, forgive my sins and open for me the doors of Your mercy,” because the mosque is the place of mercy. When you leave, you say: “And open for me the doors of Your bounty,” because the markets are the place of sustenance and bounty. Yes.
