حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو أَنَّ بُكَيْرًا حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ عَاصِمَ بْنَ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ الْخَوْلاَنِيَّ
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ قَوْلِ النَّاسِ فِيهِ حِينَ بَنَى مَسْجِدَ الرَّسُولِ ﷺ إِنَّكُمْ أَكْثَرْتُمْ وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا قَالَ بُكَيْرٌ حَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَبْتَغِي بِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ مِثْلَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ

I heard ʿUthman bin ʿAffan saying, when people argued too much about his intention to reconstruct the mosque of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "You have talked too much. I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, 'Whoever built a mosque, (Bukair thought that ʿAsim, another sub-narrator, added, "Intending Allah's Pleasure"), Allah would build for him a similar place in Paradise.' "
