Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 1945

وَعَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا يَرَاهُ اللَّهُ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، فَإِنْ مَاتَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ غَفَرَ لَهُ ، وَمَنْ حَفَرَ قَبْرًا يَرَاهُ اللَّهُ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، وَإِنْ مَاتَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ غَفَرَ لَهُ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ ابْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ذَكَرَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي تَارِيخِهِ وَقَالَ : فِيهِ نَظَرٌ ، وَضَعَّفَهُ ابْنُ مَعِينٍ أَيْضًا ، وَذَكَرَهَ ابْنُ حِبَّانَ فِي الثِّقَاتِ وَسَمَّى أَبَاهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ مُكَبَّرًا .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever builds a mosque for Allah Almighty, Allah Almighty builds for him a house in Paradise, and if he dies that same day, Allah Almighty forgives him. And whoever digs a grave for the pleasure of Allah Almighty, Allah Almighty builds for him a house in Paradise, and if he dies that same day, Allah Almighty forgives him."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Imran bin Abdullah, who is in fact Ibn Ubaydullah. Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned him in his Tarikh and said: There is room for reservation about him (fihi nazar). Yahya bin Ma'in also declared him da'if (weak). Ibn Hibban mentioned him in the book "al-Thiqat" and gave his father's name as Abdullah, in the non-diminutive form (mukabbar).
