Bayhaqi 11938 — Establishing a mosque, water fountains and the like

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ بِبَغْدَادَ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ دَرَسْتَوَيْهِ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ كَامِلٍ الْعَطَّارُ، ثنا حَمَّادٌ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: كَانَتْ لِلْعَبَّاسِ دَارٌ إِلَى جَنْبِ الْمَسْجِدِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: بِعْنِيهَا أَوْ هَبْهَا لِي؛ حَتَّى أُدْخِلَهَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ " فَأَبَى، فَقَالَ: اجْعَلْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَعَلَا بَيْنَهُمَا أُبِيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ، فَقَضَى لِلْعَبَّاسِ عَلَى عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: مَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَجْرَأَ عَلَيَّ مِنْكَ، فَقَالَ أُبِيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ: أَوْ أَنْصَحَ لَكَ مِنِّي، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، أَمَا بَلَغَكَ حَدِيثُ دَاوُدَ أَنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَمَرَهُ بِبِنَاءِ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ، فَأَدْخَلَ فِيهِ بَيْتَ امْرَأَةٍ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهَا، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ حُجَزَ الرِّجَالِ مَنَعَهُ اللهُ بِنَاءَهُ، قَالَ دَاوُدُ: أَيْ رَبِّ، إِنْ مَنَعْتَنِي بِنَاءَهُ، فَاجْعَلْهُ فِي خَلَفِي. فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ: " أَلَيْسَ قَدْ قَضَيْتَ لِي بِهَا وَصَارَتْ لِي؟ " قَالَ: بَلَى، قَالَ: " فَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ أَنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُهَا لِلَّهِ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) had a house in Madinah beside the mosque. Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Sell it to me or gift it to me so that I may include it in the mosque." He refused and said: "Appoint someone from among the Companions of the Prophet as judge between me and you." They appointed Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) as judge, and he ruled in favour of Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "None of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is bolder against me than you." Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "(Or rather) I am more sincere towards you." Then he said: "O Commander of the Believers, has the report of Dawud not reached you, that Allah Almighty commanded him to build His house, Bayt al-Maqdis, and Dawud included the house of a woman in it without her permission? When (the building) reached the height of men's waists, Allah Almighty forbade him from building it. Dawud said: 'O my Lord, if You have prevented me, then command someone after me to build it.'" Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Did you not rule in my favour, so that it became mine?" Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Indeed!" Then Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I make you a witness that I have endowed that house for Allah."
