Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38608 — the first to do a thing, and who did
٣٨٦٠٨ - حدثنا أبو أسامة عن هشام عن الحسن عن أبيه عن رجل من ثقيف قال: استشار (١) رجل من ثقيف عمر أن يحصب المسجد (٢) فقال: يا أمير المؤمنين إنه أوطأ وأغفر للنخامة والمخاط، فقال عمر: حصّبوه من الوادي (المبارك) (٣) من العقيق، فكان أوّل من حصب المسجد عمر ﵁ (٤).
A man from the tribe of Thaqif said: A man of Banu Thaqif consulted Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) about having pebbles spread in the mosque. He said: "O Commander of the Faithful, this is more comfortable underfoot, and it covers spittle, filth and the like." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Spread in the mosque the pebbles of the blessed valley, that is, the valley of al-Aqiq." Thus the first to have pebbles spread in the mosque was Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).
