أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ بِبَيْرُوتَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ الدَّارِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرُ بْنُ يَعْمَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَلَّامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مَا أُبَالِي أَنْ أَعْمَلَ عَمَلًا بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ إِلَّا أَعْمُرُ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ وَقَالَ آخَرُ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَفْضَلُ مِمَّا قُلْتُمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ «{أَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَةَ الْحَاجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَجَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لَا يَسْتَوونَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ} »

✧ I was near the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and a man said, “I do not care if I do no deed after Islam except maintaining the Sacred Mosque.” Another said, “Jihad in the path of Allah is better than what you said.” Then Allah revealed: “Do you consider providing water to pilgrims and maintaining the Sacred Mosque like one who believes in Allah and the Last Day and strives in the path of Allah? They are not equal in the sight of Allah, and Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.”
