The building of the mosque of Madinah and his dwellings ﷺ
[ بِنَاءُ مَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَمَسَاكِنِهِ ﷺ ] قَالَ: فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُبْنَى مَسْجِدًا، وَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى أَبِي أَيُّوبَ حَتَّى بَنَى مَسْجِدَهُ وَمَسَاكِنَهُ، فَعَمِلَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِيُرَغِّبَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي الْعَمَلِ فِيهِ، فَعَمِلَ فِيهِ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالْأَنْصَارُ، وَدَأَبُوا فِيهِ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ:: لَئِنْ قَعَدْنَا وَالنَّبِيُّ يَعْمَلُ لَذَاكَ مِنَّا الْعَمَلُ الْمُضَلِّلُ وَارْتَجَزَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَهُمْ يَبْنُونَهُ يَقُولُونَ:: لَا عَيْشَ إلَّا عَيْشَ الْآخِرَهْ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْ الْأَنْصَارَ وَالْمُهَاجِرَهْ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: هَذَا كَلَامٌ وَلَيْسَ بِرَجَزٍ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَيَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: لَا عَيْشَ إلَّا عَيْشَ الْآخِرَةِ، اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ
Translation
✧ [The building of the Madinah mosque and his dwellings ﷺ] He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that it be built as a mosque, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ lodged with Abū Ayyūb until he built his mosque and his dwellings. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ worked on it to encourage the Muslims to work on it, so the Emigrants and the Helpers worked on it and labored diligently at it. One of the Muslims said: If we sit idle while the Prophet works, that would be from us misguided work. The Muslims chanted rajaz verses while building it, saying: There is no life but the life of the Hereafter; O Allah, have mercy on the Helpers and the Emigrants. Ibn Hishām said: This is prose, not rajaz. Ibn Isḥāq said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: There is no life but the life of the Hereafter; O Allah, have mercy on the Emigrants and the Helpers.
