Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

Al-Bukhari cites this report in his Ṣaḥīḥ.

Ṣāliḥ ibn Kaysān said: Nāfiʿ narrated to us that ʿAbd Allāh informed him that, in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the mosque was built of sun-dried bricks, its roof was woven palm fronds, and its columns were palm trunks. Abū Bakr added nothing to it. ʿUmar enlarged it, but rebuilt it on the same pattern that had existed in the Prophet’s lifetime—sun-dried bricks and palm fronds—and he restored its columns as wooden posts. ʿUthmān, however, expanded it greatly: he constructed its wall of hewn, plastered stone, made its pillars of carved stone, and roofed it with teak. Al-Bukhari also recorded this narration.

Hammād ibn Salamah related from Abū Sinān, from Yaʿlā ibn Shaddād, from ʿUbādah that the Anṣār gathered some money, brought it to the Prophet ﷺ and said, “Build up this mosque and embellish it. How long shall we go on praying beneath these palm branches?” He replied, “I have no wish to differ from my brother Moses: a shelter like the shelter of Moses.”

Al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī, commenting on the phrase “like the shelter of Moses,” said: “When a man raised his hand he could touch the shelter,” meaning the roof.

ʿAbd Allāh ibn Badr narrated from Qays ibn Ṭalq ibn ʿAlī, from his father, who said: “I helped the Prophet ﷺ build the mosque of Madinah. He would say, ‘Bring al-Yamāmī close to the clay, for he is the best of you at building with it.’”

Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “The mosque that was founded upon god-fearing piety is this mosque of mine.” Muslim records a longer version of this report.

ذكره البخاري في صحيحه. وقال صالح بن كيسان: حدثنا نافع أن عبد الله أخبره أن المسجد كان على عهد رسول الله ﷺ مبنيا باللبن، وسقفه الجريد، وعمده خشب النخل. فلم يزد فيه أبو بكر شيئا. وزاد فيه عمر، وبناه على بنيانه في عهد رسول الله ﷺ باللبن والجريد، وأعاد عمده خشبا. وغيره عثمان، فزاد فيه زيادة كبيرة، وبنى جداره بالحجارة المنقوشة والقصة، وجعل عمده من حجارة منقوشة، وسقفه بالساج. أخرجه البخاري. وقال حماد بن سلمة، عن أبي سنان، عن يعلى بن شداد، عن عبادة، أن الأنصار جمعوا مالا، فأتوا به النبي ﷺ فقالوا: ابن بهذا المسجد وزينه، إلى متى نصلي تحت هذا الجريد؟ فقال: "ما بي رغبة عن أخي موسى، عريش كعريش موسى". وروي عن الحسن البصري في قوله: "كعريش موسى"؛ قال: إذا رفع يده بلغ العريش، يعني السقف. وقال عبد الله بن بدر، عن قيس بن طلق بن علي، عن أبيه قال: بنيت مع النبي ﷺ مسجد المدينة، فكان يقول: قربوا اليمامي من الطين، فإنه من أحسنكم له بناء. وقال أبو سعيد الخدري: قال رسول الله ﷺ: المسجد الذي أسس على التقوى مسجدي هذا أخرجه مسلم بأطول منه.
