Arabic Text
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هَيْثَمُ بْنُ خَارِجَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْخُشَنِيُّ عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ قَالَ جَاءَ وَاثِلَةُ بْنُ الْأَسْقَعِ وَنَحْنُ نَبْنِي مَسْجِدَنَا قَالَ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْنَا فَسَلَّمَ ثُمّ
َ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا يُصَلَّى فِيهِ بَنَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَفْضَلَ مِنْهُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ هَيْثَمِ بْنِ خَارِجَةَ

Haytham ibn Khārijah narrated to us: Abū ʿAbd al-Malik al-Ḥasan ibn Yaḥyā al-Khushanī informed us, from Bishr ibn Ḥayyān, who said: Wāthilah ibn al-Asqaʿ came while we were building our mosque. He stood over us and greeted us, then said: I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'Whoever builds a mosque in which prayer is performed, Allāh عز وجل builds for him in Paradise something better than it.' Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān said: I heard it from Haytham ibn Khārijah.
