The Danger of Beautifying Mosques and Copies of the Quran


It is reported that Ab? Al-Dard?? – All?h be pleased with him – said:

When you adorn your copies of the Qur?n and embellish your mosques, destruction will be upon you.

Ibn Al-Mub?rak, Al-Zuhd wa Al-Raq??iq, article 746. Shaykh Al-Alb?n? stated that the chain of transmission of this narration consists of reliable reporters, except he did not know if the reporter Bakr b. Suw?dah had heard directly from Ab? Al-Dard??. The narration corroborates a similar ?ad?th reported from the Prophet ? himself. See Al-?a???ah ?ad?th 1351.
