Summary
The hadith is judged to be fabricated. Al-Shaghani classed it as fabricated, and al-Qari said it is false in both its wording structure and its meaning. It must not be attributed to the Prophet or spread to others. Speaking about worldly matters in the mosque is generally permissible, provided the speech contains nothing forbidden such as backbiting or slander, the etiquette of the mosque is observed, and those praying, remembering Allah or reciting the Quran are not disturbed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hadith ini adalah palsu sepertimana yang dikatakan oleh al-Shaghani dan juga dikatakan oleh al-Qari bahawa hadith ini bathil dari sudut mabna (binaan matan) dan juga makna.
