The building of the mosque of Madinah and his dwellings ﷺ
[ مَنْ بَنَى أَوَّلَ مَسْجِدٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَذَكَرَ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُييْنَةَ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: إنَّ أَوَّلَ مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ. [ مَنْزِلُهُ ﷺ مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ وَشَيْءٌ مِنْ أَدَبِهِ فِي ذَلِكَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَأَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، حَتَّى بُنِيَ لَهُ مَسْجِدُهُ وَمَسَاكِنُهُ، ثُمَّ انْتَقَلَ إلَى مَسَاكِنِهِ مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَرِضْوَانُهُ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ مَرْثَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ اليَزَنيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي رُهْمٍ السَّمَاعِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي بَيْتِي، نَزَلَ فِي السُّفْلِ، وَأَنَا وَأُمُّ أَيُّوبَ فِي الْعُلْوِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي، إنِّي لَأَكْرَهُ وَأُعْظِمُ أَنْ أَكُونَ فَوْقَكَ، وَتَكُونَ تَحْتِي، فَاظْهَرْ أَنْتَ فَكُنْ فِي الْعُلْوِ، وَنَنْزِلَ نَحْنُ فَنَكُونَ فِي السُّفْلِ؛ فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا أَيُّوبَ، إنَّ أَرْفَقَ بِنَا وَبِمَنْ يَغْشَانَا، أَنْ نَكُونَ فِي سُفْلِ الْبَيْتِ قَالَ: فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي سُفْلِهِ، وَكُنَّا فَوْقَهُ فِي الْمَسْكَنِ؛ فَلَقَدْ انْكَسَرَ حُبٌّ لَنَا فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَقُمْتُ أَنَا وَأُمُّ أَيُّوبَ بِقَطِيفَةٍ لَنَا، مَا لَنَا لِحَافٌ غَيْرَهَا، نُنَشِّفُ بِهَا الْمَاءَ، تَخَوُّفًا أَنْ يَقْطُرَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ فَيُؤْذِيَهُ. قَالَ: وَكُنَّا نَصْنَعُ لَهُ الْعَشَاءَ، ثُمَّ نَبْعَثُ بِهِ إلَيْهِ، فَإِذَا رَدَّ عَلَيْنَا فَضْلَهُ تَيَمَّمْتُ أَنَا وَأُمُّ أَيُّوبَ مَوْضِعَ يَدِهِ، فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ نَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ الْبَرَكَةَ، حَتَّى بَعَثْنَا إلَيْهِ لَيْلَةً بِعَشَائِهِ وَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا لَهُ بَصَلًا أَوْ ثُومًا، فَرَدَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَلَمْ أَرَ لِيَدِهِ فِيهِ أَثَرًا. قَالَ: فَجِئْتُهُ فَزِعًا، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي، رَدَدْتَ عَشَاءَكَ، وَلَمْ أَرَ فِيهِ مَوْضِعَ يَدِكَ، وَكُنْتَ إذَا رَدَدْتُهُ عَلَيْنَا، تَيَمَّمْتُ أَنَا وَأُمُّ أَيُّوبَ مَوْضِعَ يَدِكَ، نَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ الْبَرَكَةَ؛ قَالَ: إنِّي وَجَدْتُ فِيهِ رِيحَ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ، وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ أُنَاجِي، فَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَكُلُوهُ قَالَ: فَأَكَلْنَاهُ، وَلَمْ نَصْنَعْ لَهُ تِلْكَ الشَّجَرَةَ بَعْدُ
Translation
✧ [Who built the first mosque] Ibn Hisham said: Sufyan b. ʿUyaynah mentioned from Zakariyyāʾ, from al-Shaʿbī, who said: The first to build a mosque was ʿAmmār b. Yāsir. [His ﷺ residence in the house of Abū Ayyūb and something of his etiquette in that regard] Ibn Isḥāq said: The Messenger of God ﷺ stayed in the house of Abū Ayyūb until his mosque and his dwellings were built for him, then he moved to his dwellings from the house of Abū Ayyūb, may God's mercy and good pleasure be upon him. Ibn Isḥāq said: Yazīd b. Abī Ḥabīb narrated to me, from Marthad b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Yazanī, from Abū Ruhm al-Samāʿī, who said: Abū Ayyūb narrated to me, saying: When the Messenger of God ﷺ lodged with me in my house, he lodged in the lower floor, while I and Umm Ayyūb were in the upper floor. I said to him, "O Prophet of God, may my father and mother be your ransom, I dislike and deem it grave that I should be above you and you below me. So go up and be in the upper floor, and we will come down and be in the lower floor." He said, "O Abū Ayyūb, the most comfortable for us and for those who visit us is that we be in the lower part of the house." He said: So the Messenger of God ﷺ was in its lower part, and we were above him in the dwelling. A water jar of ours broke, and I and Umm Ayyūb got up with a velvet cloth of ours—we had no blanket other than it—to soak up the water with it, fearing that any of it might drip onto the Messenger of God ﷺ and harm him. He said: We used to prepare the evening meal for him, then send it to him. When he returned to us what remained of it, I and Umm Ayyūb would seek the spot where his hand had been and eat from it, seeking blessing thereby. One night we sent him his evening meal, having put onion or garlic in it for him. The Messenger of God ﷺ returned it, and I saw no trace of his hand in it. He said: I came to him in alarm and said, "O Messenger of God, may my father and mother be your ransom, you returned your evening meal, and I saw no spot of your hand in it. When you returned it to us before, I and Umm Ayyūb would seek the spot of your hand, seeking blessing thereby." He said, "I detected in it the smell of this plant, and I am a man who converses intimately, so as for you, eat it." He said: So we ate it, and we did not prepare that plant for him afterward.
