حَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَيْلِيُّ ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو ، أَنَّ بُكَيْرًا حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ عَاصِمَ بْنَ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ الْخَوْلَانِيَّ يَذْكُرُ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ ، عِنْدَ قَوْلِ النَّاسِ فِيهِ ، حِينَ بَنَى مَسْجِدَ الرَّسُولِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ أَكْثَرْتُمْ ، وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى ، قَالَ بُكَيْرٌ : حَسِبْتُ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " يَبْتَغِي بِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ ، بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ " ، قَالَ ابْنُ عِيسَى فِي رِوَايَتِهِ : مِثْلَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ .
Ubaidullah al-Khaulini reported: 'Uthman bin 'Affan listened to the opinion of the people (which was not favourable) when he rebuilt the mosque of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . Thereupon he said: You have not been fair to me for I have heard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: He who built a mosque for Allah, the Exalted, Allah would build for him a house in Paradise. Bukair said: I think he (the Holy Prophet) said: While he seeks the pleasure of Allah (by building the mosque). And in the narration of Ibn 'Isa (the words are):" (a house) like that (mosque) in Paradise."
