The Reward of Building a Mosque for Allah

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the reward of building a mosque for Allah and how Uthman wanted to build an extension to the mosque of Madinah.

It was narrated from Mahmood bin Labeed That 'Uthman (رضي الله عنه) wanted to build (an extension to) the mosque of Madinah, but the people objected to that and wanted to leave it as it was'.Uthman (رضي الله عنه) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah( ) say: 'Whoever builds a mosque for the sake of Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise'.
حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَبْنِيَ مَسْجِدَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَكَرِهَ النَّاسُ ذَاكَ وَأَحَبُّوا أَنْ يَدَعُوهُ عَلَى هَيْئَتِهِ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا لِلَّهِ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِثْلَهُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the reward that one can receive from building a mosque for Allah. Uthman wanted to build an extension to the mosque in Madinah but people objected. However, Uthman reminded them that he heard Prophet Muhammad say that whoever builds a mosque for the sake of Allah will be rewarded with a house like it in paradise. This hadith teaches us that if we do good deeds such as building mosques or helping others then we will be rewarded by God in this life and also in paradise. It also teaches us not to object when someone wants to do something good because they may be doing it out of their love and devotion towards God.
