Bayhaqi 11936 — Establishing a mosque, water fountains and the like

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي الْحَجَّاجِ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ ثُمَامَةَ بْنِ حَزْنٍ الْقُشَيْرِيِّ قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ الدَّارَ وَأَشْرَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: أَنْشُدُكُمُ اللهَ وَالْإِسْلَامَ، هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ لَيْسَ فِيهَا مَاءٌ يُسْتَعْذَبُ غَيْرُ بِئْرِ رُومَةَ فَقَالَ: " مَنْ يَشْتَرِي بِئْرَ رُومَةَ فَيَكُونُ دَلْوُهُ فِيهَا مَعَ دِلَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِخَيْرٍ لَهُ مِنْهَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ؟ " فَاشْتَرَيْتُهَا مِنْ صُلْبِ مَالِي، قَالَ: وَأَنْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ تَمْنَعُونَنِي أَنْ أَشْرَبَ مِنْهَا حَتَّى أَشْرَبَ مِنْ مَاءِ الْبَحْرِ قَالُوا: اللهُمَّ نَعَمْ، قَالَ: أَنْشُدُكُمُ اللهَ وَالْإِسْلَامَ، هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ الْمَسْجِدَ كَانَ ضَاقَ بِأَهْلِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ يَشْتَرِي بُقْعَةَ آلِ فُلَانٍ بِخَيْرٍ لَهُ مِنْهَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ؟ " فَاشْتَرَيْتُهَا مِنْ مَالِي، أَوْ قَالَ: مِنْ صُلْبِ مَالِي، فَزِدْتُهَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَأَنْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ تَمْنَعُونَنِي أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فِيهَا؟ قَالُوا: اللهُمَّ نَعَمْ، وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي تَجْهِيزِ جَيْشِ الْعُسْرَةِ وَقِصَّةِ ثَبِيرٍ.
Thumamah bin Hazn al-Qushayri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I was present at the house, and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) looked out over the people and said: "I adjure you by Allah and by Islam, do you know that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Madinah there was no sweet water anywhere except the well of Rumah (Bi'r Rumah), and he said: 'Whoever buys the well of Rumah - his bucket will be in it along with the buckets of the Muslims - will have something better than it in Paradise'? I bought it from my own personal wealth, yet today you prevent me from drinking its water, so that I drink the water of the sea!" They answered yes. Then he said: "I adjure you by Allah and by Islam, do you know that the mosque had become too small, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Whoever buys the plot of the family of so-and-so will have something better than it in Paradise'? So I bought it with my wealth and added it to the mosque, yet today you prevent me from praying in that very mosque!" They answered yes.
