حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْكَبِيرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ مِثْلَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 434
It was narrated that 'Uthman bin 'Affan (RA) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: "Whoever builds a mosque for the sake of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, Allah will build some- thing like it for him in Paradise."
