275.  Abu Sa'id RadiyAllaahu 'anhu narrates that RasuulUllaah (SallAllaahu 'alaihi wa 'aalihii wasallam) said: If you see a man frequenting the Masjid, bear witness to his Iimaan. Aallaah SubhaanaHuu wa Ta'aalaa  says: 'Innamaa  ya'-muru  MasaajidAllaahi  man  'aamana  BIllaahi  wal-  Yawmil-  'Aakhiri.  (Only he will frequent the Masjids, who believes in Allaah and the Last Day). 

276.  Abu Hurairah RadiyAllaahu 'anhu narrates that Nabii (SallAllaahu 'alaihi wa 'aalihii wasallam) said: A Muslim that makes the Masjid his abode for Salaat and Dhikr, Allaah is overjoyed with him, as a family is overjoyed by the return of an absent relative. (Ibne-Maajah)

Note:  Making his abode means that he develops a special attachment to the Masjid, and remains there for a major part of his time. 

277.  Abu Hurairah RadiyAllaahu 'anhu narrates that Nabii (SallAllaahu 'alaihi wa 'aalihii wasallam) said: Whoever had made the Masjid his abode, and then was pre-occupied by some matter or illness, and subsequently returned to the Masjid as before, Allaah is overjoyed with him just as a family is overjoyed by the return of an absent relative. (Ibne Khuzaimah)
