حَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَيْلِيُّ ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، 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 ، قَالَ بُكَيْرٌ : حَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : يَبْتَغِي بِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ مِثْلَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ " ، وَفِي رِوَايَةِ هَارُونَ : بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ " .
'Abdullah al-Khaulani reported that when 'Uthman bin 'Affan tried to rebuild the mosque of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) the people began to talk about this. 'Uthman bin 'Affan said: You discuss it very much whereas I have heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: "He who builds a mosque .." and the narrator Bukair said: I think he also said: (for) seeking the pleasure of Allah, Allah would build (a similar house for him in Paradise), and in the narration of Harun (the words are): "A house for him in Paradise."
