SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 1 > BOOK 8: PRAYERS (SALAT)
I went to the Prophet in the mosque (the sub-narrator Mas’ar thought that Jabir had said, “In the
forenoon.”) He ordered me to pray two Rakat. He owed me some money and he repaid it to me and
gave more than what was due to me.

Narrated Abu Qatada Al-Aslami:
Allah’s Apostle said, “If anyone of you enters a mosque, he should pray two Rakat before sitting.”

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “The angels keep on asking Allah’s forgiveness for anyone of you, as long as he
is at his Mu,salla (praying place) and he does not pass wind (Hadath). They say, ‘O Allah! Forgive
him, O Allah! be Merciful to him.”
Volume 1, Book 8, Number 437:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
In the life-time of Allah’s Apostle the mosque was built of adobes, its roof of the leaves of date-
palms and its pillars of the stems of date-palms. Abu Bakr did not alter it. ‘Umar expanded it on the
same pattern as it was in the lifetime of Allah’s Apostle by using adobes, leaves of date-palms and
changing the pillars into wooden ones. ‘Uthman changed it by expanding it to a great extent and
built its walls with engraved stones and lime and made its pillars of engraved stones and its roof of
teak wood.
Volume 1, Book 8, Number 438:
Narrated ‘Ikrima:
Ibn ‘Abbas said to me and to his son ‘Ali, “Go to Abu Sa’id and listen to what he narrates.” So we
went and found him in a garden looking after it. He picked up his Rida’, wore it and sat down and
started narrating till the topic of the construction of the mosque reached. He said, “We were carrying
one adobe at a time while ‘Ammar was carrying two. The Prophet saw him and started removing the
dust from his body and said, “May Allah be Merciful to ‘Ammar. He will be inviting them (i.e. his
murderers, the rebellious group) to Paradise and they will invite him to Hell-fire.” ‘Ammar said, “I
seek refuge with Allah from affliction.”

Volume 1, Book 8, Number 441:
Narrated ‘Ubdaidullah Al-Khaulani:
I heard ‘Uthman bin ‘Affan saying, when people argued too much about his intention to recon –
struct the mosque of Allah’s Apostle, “You have talked too much. I heard the Prophet saying, ‘Who –
ever built a mosque, (Bukair thought that ‘Asim, another subnarrator, added, “Intending Allah’s
Pleasure”), Allah would build for him a similar place in Paradise.’ “
