Musnad Abi Ya'la 4018 — the Prophet ﷺ said: Whoever builds a mosque
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ الْأَزْرَقُ ، عَنْ شَرِيكٍ ، يَعْنِي ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : مَنْ بَنَى لِلهِ مَسْجِدًا كَمَفْحَصِ قَطَاةٍ ، بَنَى لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever builds a mosque for the pleasure of Allah Almighty, even if it is (as small in size and extent) as the nest of the bird called qata (sandgrouse), or the place where it lays its eggs, Allah Almighty will build a house for him in Paradise in return."
