Sahih Muslim 533b (Book 5, Hadith 30) #8345
The Reward of Building Mosques

SUMMARY: Building a mosque for Allah will be rewarded with a house in Paradise.

Mahmud b. Labid reported: When 'Uthman b. 'Affan intended to build the mosque (of the Prophet) the people did not approve of it. They liked that it should be kept in the same state. Thereupon he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah say: He who built a mosque for Allah, Allah would build a house for him like it in Paradise.
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ، أَرَادَ بِنَاءَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَكَرِهَ النَّاسُ ذَلِكَ فَأَحَبُّوا أَنْ يَدَعَهُ عَلَى هَيْئَتِهِ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا لِلَّهِ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِثْلَهُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Building Mosques out of free-will and good intentions

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the reward of building mosques for Allah. Uthman b. Affan wanted to build a mosque and the people did not approve of it because they liked that it should remain in its original state. However, Uthman reminded them that he heard Prophet Muhammad say that whoever builds a mosque for Allah will be rewarded with a house in paradise. This hadith teaches us the importance of building mosques and how we can receive rewards from Allah if we do so out of our own free will and good intentions. It also encourages us to help build mosques as part of our religious duty as Muslims and to remember that whatever good deeds we do are never forgotten by God who always rewards us generously for our efforts no matter how small they may seem at first glance.
