- The above hadith explains the sunnah to perform the Tahiyatul Masjid prayer for people who enter the mosque.
- Ash-Shafi'i said, that the Tahiyatul Masjid prayer is recommended at all prayer times, even during the Friday prayer sermon, and even if one enters the mosque repeatedly in one day; if he enters the mosque ten times in a day, it is recommended that he do so ten times.
- Malik said that the Tahiyatul Masjid prayer is not recommended at times forbidden for prayer, even it is not permissible to do it during the Friday prayer sermon. If a person enters the mosque ten times in one day, if the distance between the first entry time and the second entry time is close, then it is enough for him to perform the tahiyatul mosque prayer once. But if the distance is not close, then he is recommended to do that every time he enters the mosque.

- Malik and Abu Hanifah said that the suggestion did not disappear because of sitting, even though it was long.
- Ahmad said that the suggestion did not disappear because of sitting for a while, but the suggestion disappeared if he sat for a long time.
- Ash-Shafi'i said, if the seat is due to forgetfulness, then the recommendation is still valid, but if it is intentional then the recommendation is lost.
