Hadith 452
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ، عَنْ شَيْبَانَ ، عَنْ فِرَاسٍ ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، " أَنّ مَسْجِدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَتْ سَوَارِيهِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ جُذُوعِ النَّخْلِ ، أَعْلَاهُ مُظَلَّلٌ بِجَرِيدِ النَّخْلِ ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهَا نَخِرَتْ فِي خِلَافَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَبَنَاهَا بِجُذُوعِ النَّخْلِ وَبِجَرِيدِ النَّخْلِ ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهَا نَخِرَتْ فِي خِلَافَةِ عُثْمَانَ فَبَنَاهَا بِالْآجُرِّ ، فَلَمْ تَزَلْ ثَابِتَةً حَتَّى الْآنَ " .
Ibn Umar reported: The pillars of the mosque of the Prophet ﷺ during the life time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were made of the trunks of the palm-tree; they covered from the above by twigs of the palm-tree; they decayed during the caliphate of Abu Bakr. He built it afresh with trunks and twigs of the palm-tree. But they again decayed during the caliphate of Uthman. He, therefore, built it with bricks. That survives until today.
