باب مَنْ بَنَى لِلَّهِ مَسْجِداً:Chapter: Building a mosque for Allah
Hadith 1430
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ لَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَبْنِيَ الْمَسْجِدَ كَرِهَ النَّاسُ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: "مَنْ بَنَى لِلَّهِ مَسْجِدًا، بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِثْلَهُ".
It is narrated from Mahmood bin Labeed that when Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) intended to build a mosque, the people disliked it. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise."
