Musnad Abi Ya'la 4180 — when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Madinah
حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ الضُّبَعِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - الْمَدِينَةَ نَزَلَ فِي عُلْوٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ، فِي حَيٍّ يُقَالُ لَهُ : ابْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ ، فَأَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِيهِمْ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى مَلَأٍ مِنْ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ فَجَاءُوا مُتَقَلِّدِينَ سُيُوفَهُمْ ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ : فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ رِدْفُهُ ، وَمَلَأٌ مِنْ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ حَوْلَهُ ، حَتَّى أَلْقَى بِفِنَاءِ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ ، فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يُصَلِّي حَيْثُ أَدْرَكَتْهُ الصَّلَاةُ ، وَيُصَلِّي فِي مَرَابِضِ الْغَنَمِ ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ أَمَرَ بِبِنَاءِ الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى مَلَأٍ مِنْ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ فَجَاءُوا ، فَقَالَ : يَا بَنِي النَّجَّارِ ، ثَامِنُونِي بِحَائِطِكُمْ هَذَا ، قَالُوا : لَا ، وَاللهِ لَا نَطْلُبُ بِهِ ثَمَنًا إِلَّا إِلَى اللهِ ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ : فَكَانَ فِيهِ مَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ : كَانَتْ فِيهِ قُبُورُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ، وَكَانَتْ خَرِبًا ، وَكَانَ فِيهِ نَخْلٌ ، فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِقُبُورِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَنُبِشَتْ ، وَبِالْخِرَبِ فَسُوِّيَتْ ، وَبِالنَّخْلِ فَقُطِعَ ، فَوَضَعُوا النَّخْلَ قِبْلَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ ، وَجَعَلُوا عِضَادَتَيْهِ حِجَارَةً ، قَالَ : فَجَعَلُوا يَنْقُلُونَ ذَلِكَ الصَّخْرَ وَهُمْ يَرْتَجِزُونَ ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مَعَهُمْ ، وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ :
اللَّهُمَّ لَا خَيْرَ إِلَّا خَيْرُ الْآخِرَهْ فَاغْفِرْ لِلْأَنْصَارِ وَالْمُهَاجِرَهْ .
اللَّهُمَّ لَا خَيْرَ إِلَّا خَيْرُ الْآخِرَهْ فَاغْفِرْ لِلْأَنْصَارِ وَالْمُهَاجِرَهْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Madinah, he (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed in the upper part of Madinah, in the quarter of the tribe called Banu Amr bin Awf. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed there for fourteen nights. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for the notables of Banu al-Najjar, and they came with their swords hung at their sides. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: It is as if I am looking at the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on his mount, with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) riding behind him and the people of Banu al-Najjar gathered around him, until he (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped in the courtyard of the house of Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray wherever the time of prayer came upon him, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would also pray in the sheep pens. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the building of the mosque, called the elders of Banu al-Najjar and said: "O Banu al-Najjar! Settle the price of this garden of yours with me." They said: "No, by Allah! We seek its reward only from Allah." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: In that place there were the things I am telling you about: there were graves of the polytheists, there were old ruins and there were date-palms. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the order, and the graves of the polytheists were dug up, the ruins were levelled and the date-palms were cut down. Then they arranged the palm trunks on the qiblah side of the mosque and built its two side-posts of stone. They were carrying large stones and reciting rajaz verses, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was taking part with them, and all of them together were saying: 'Allahumma la khayra illa khayru al-akhirah, faghfir li al-Ansari wa al-Muhajirah' (O Allah, the true good is only the good of the Hereafter, so forgive the Ansar and the Muhajirun).
