Hadith 446
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعٌ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَهُ ، " أَنَّ الْمَسْجِدَ كَانَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَبْنِيًّا بِاللَّبِنِ ، وَسَقْفُهُ الْجَرِيدُ ، وَعُمُدُهُ خَشَبُ النَّخْلِ ، فَلَمْ يَزِدْ فِيهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ شَيْئًا ، وَزَادَ فِيهِ عُمَرُ ، وَبَنَاهُ عَلَى بُنْيَانِهِ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِاللَّبِنِ وَالْجَرِيدِ وَأَعَادَ عُمُدَهُ خَشَبًا ، ثُمَّ غَيَّرَهُ عُثْمَانُ فَزَادَ فِيهِ زِيَادَةً كَثِيرَةً وَبَنَى جِدَارَهُ بِالْحِجَارَةِ الْمَنْقُوشَةِ وَالْقَصَّةِ وَجَعَلَ عُمُدَهُ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ مَنْقُوشَةٍ وَسَقَفَهُ بِالسَّاجِ " .
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: In the lifetime of Allah's Apostle the mosque was built of adobes, its roof of the leaves of date-palms and its pillars of the stems of date-palms. Abu Bakr did not alter it. `Umar expanded it on the same pattern as it was in the lifetime of Allah's Apostle by using adobes, leaves of date-palms and changing the pillars into wooden ones. `Uthman changed it by expanding it to a great extent and built its walls with engraved stones and lime and made its pillars of engraved stones and its roof of teak wood.
وَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ : كَانَ سَقْفُ الْمَسْجِدِ مِنْ جَرِيدِ النَّخْلِ ، وَأَمَرَ عُمَرُ بِبِنَاءِ الْمَسْجِدِ ، وَقَالَ : أَكِنَّ النَّاسَ مِنَ الْمَطَرِ وَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تُحَمِّرَ أَوْ تُصَفِّرَ فَتَفْتِنَ النَّاسَ ، وَقَالَ أَنَسٌ : يَتَبَاهَوْنَ بِهَا ثُمَّ لَا يَعْمُرُونَهَا إِلَّا قَلِيلًا ، وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : لَتُزَخْرِفُنَّهَا كَمَا زَخْرَفَتِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى .
Abu Sa'id said that the roof of the Prophet's Mosque was made from palm branches. 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered the construction of the mosque and said: "I want to protect people from rain, and do not make the mosques red or yellow in color, for this will put people into trial (fitnah)." Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "(By building in this manner) people will begin to take pride in the mosques, but very few will populate them." Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "You will also decorate the mosques just as the Jews and Christians did."
