Hadith.3751 - The Commander of the Faithful (as) said: A Bedouin from the tribe of Banu 'Amir came to the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) and asked him about the worst and the best places on earth. The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "The worst places on earth are the markets-they are the playgrounds of Iblis. He sets out in the morning with his banner, places his throne there, and sends out his offspring among them. There, you find someone who cheats in measuring, another who falsifies the scale, someone who steals in length, or someone who lies about merchandise. Iblis then says to them: 'Stick to a man whose father has died while your father is still alive.' And he remains there, being the first to enter and the last to leave." Then Imam (as) said: "And the best places are the mosques. The most beloved among them to Allah (swt), the Mighty and Exalted, are those who enter first and leave last."
3751 - قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ إِلَى اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ شَرِّ بِقَاعِ اَلْأَرْضِ وَ خَيْرِ بِقَاعِ اَلْأَرْضِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ "شَرُّ بِقَاعِ اَلْأَرْضِ اَلْأَسْوَاقُ وَ هِيَ مَيْدَانُ إِبْلِيسَ يَغْدُو بِرَايَتِهِ وَ يَضَعُ كُرْسِيَّهُ وَ يَبُثُّ ذُرِّيَّتَهُ فَبَيْنَ مُطَفِّفٍ فِي قَفِيزٍ أَوْ طَائِشٍ فِي مِيزَانٍ أَوْ سَارِقٍ فِي ذَرْعٍ أَوْ كَاذِبٍ فِي سِلْعَةٍ فَيَقُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِرَجُلٍ مَاتَ أَبُوهُ وَ أَبُوكُمْ حَيٌّ فَلاَ يَزَالُ مَعَ ذَلِكَ أَوَّلَ دَاخِلٍ وَ آخِرَ خَارِجٍ " ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "وَ خَيْرُ اَلْبِقَاعِ اَلْمَسَاجِدُ وَ أَحَبُّهُمْ إِلَى اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَوَّلُهُمْ دُخُولاً وَ آخِرُهُمْ خُرُوجاً مِنْهَا" ".
