حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو أَنَّ بُکَيْرًا حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ عَاصِمَ بْنَ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ الْخَوْلَانِيَّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ قَوْلِ النَّاسِ فِيهِ حِينَ بَنَی مَسْجِدَ الرَّسُولِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّکُمْ أَکْثَرْتُمْ وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ بَنَی مَسْجِدًا قَالَ بُکَيْرٌ حَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَبْتَغِي بِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ بَنَی اللَّهُ لَهُ مِثْلَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 450
Narrated 'Ubaidullah Al-Khaulani: I heard `Uthman bin `Affan saying, when people argued too much about his intention to reconstruct the mosque of Allah's Apostle, "You have talked too much. I heard the Prophet saying, 'Whoever built a mosque, (Bukair thought that `Asim, another sub-narrator, added, "Intending Allah's Pleasure"), Allah would build for him a similar place in Paradise.' "
