And in this is evidence that the right to the mosque belongs to the one who comes to it first. No person has more right over any part of the mosque than another. Allah Almighty says: «‏‏‏‏وَأَنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ لِلَّهِ» ‏‏‏‏ [ سورة الجن: 18 ] "Indeed, the mosques are for Allah."

Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Shibl (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade pecking like a crow (in prayer), spreading the arms like a beast, and reserving a specific place or spot in the mosque for oneself in the manner that a camel designates a place for sitting.
