رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُؤَسِّسُ مَسْجِدَ قِبَاءَ فَرُبَّمَا رَأَيْتُهُ يَحْمِلُ الْحَجَرَ الْعَظِيمَ فَيَنْهَرُهُ إِلَى بَطْنِهِ فَنَأْتِي لِنَأْخُذَهُ مِنْهُ فَيَقُولُ «دَعْهُ وَاحْمِلْ غَيْرَهُ» وَجِبْرِيلُ ﷺ يَؤُمُّ بِهِ الْكَعْبَةَ
✧ I saw the Prophet ﷺ laying the foundations of the Mosque of Qubaʾ. Sometimes I saw him carrying a huge stone and pressing it against his belly. We would come to take it from him, but he would say, “Leave it and carry another one.” And Jibril ﷺ was directing him toward the Kaʿbah.

نَظَرْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ قَدِمَ وَنَزَلَ وَأَسَّسَ هَذَا الْمَسْجِدَ مَسْجِدَ قِبَاءَ فَرَأَيْتُهُ يَأْخُذُ الْحَجَرَ أَوِ الصَّخْرَةَ حَتَّى يَصْهَرَهُ الْحَجَرُ وَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى بَيَاضِ التُّرَابِ عَلَى بَطْنِهِ وَسُرَّتِهِ فَيَأْتِي الرَّجُلُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَيَقُولُ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَعْطِنِي أَكْفِكَ فَيَقُولُ «لَا خُذْ حَجَرًا مِثْلَهُ» حَتَّى أَسَّسَهُ وَيَقُولُ «إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ هُوَ يَؤُمُّ الْكَعْبَةَ» قَالَتْ فَكَانَ يُقَالُ إِنَّهُ أَقُومُ مَسْجِدٍ قِبْلَةً
✧ I looked at the Messenger of God ﷺ when he arrived and alighted and laid the foundations of this mosque, the Mosque of Qubaʾ. I saw him taking a stone or a rock until the stone pressed against him, and I saw the whiteness of the dust on his belly and navel. A man from among his companions would come and say, “May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of God, give it to me and let me spare you.” He would say, “No, take a stone like it,” until he had laid its foundations. And he said, “Jibril ﷺ is the one directing it toward the Kaʿbah.” She said: It was said that it was the mosque most accurately oriented toward the qiblah.

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَدْخَلَ النِّسَاءَ يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ أُطَمًا مِنْ آطَامِ الْمَدِينَةِ» وَكَانَ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ رَجُلًا جَوَادًا فَأَدْخَلَهُ مَعَ النِّسَاءِ وَأَغْلَقَ الْبَابَ فَجَاءَ يَهُودِيٌّ فَقَعَدَ عَلَى بَابِ الْأُطُمِ فَقَالَتْ صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ انْزِلْ حَسَّانُ إِلَى هَذَا الْعِلْجِ فَاقْتُلْهُ فَقَالَ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَجْعَلَ نَفْسِي خَطَرًا لِهَذَا الْعِلْجِ فَائْتَزَرْتُ بِكِسَاءٍ وَأَخَذْتُ فِهْرًا فَنَزَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَطَعْتُ رَأْسَهُ
✧ “The Prophet ﷺ brought the women into one of the fortresses of Madinah on the Day of the Trench.” Hassan b. Thabit was a brave man, so he brought him in with the women and locked the door. A Jew came and sat at the gate of the fortress. Safiyyah bt. ʿAbd al-Muttalib said, “Go down, Hassan, to this infidel and kill him.” He said, “I would not put myself at risk for this infidel.” So she wrapped herself with a cloak, took a stone pestle, went down to him, and cut off his head.
