وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عُتَيْبَةَ [ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ شَرِيكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ:
« مَنْ بَنَى لِلهِ مَسْجِدًا كَمَفْحَصِ قَطَاةٍ بُنِيَ لَهُ بَيْتٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَكُتِبَ لَهُ حَسَنَةٌ

- أبو زرعة الرازي
هكذا رواه عدة من أصحاب شريك فلم يرفعوه والصحيح عن أبي ذر من حديث شريك موقوف وقال أبي ورواه أبوبكر بن عياش عن الأعمش ورفعه ونفس الحديث موقوف وهو أصح
machine translationThis is how a number of Sharīk's students narrated it, and they did not raise it to the Prophet (marfūʿ). The sound report from Abū Dharr, through the narration of Sharīk, is stopped at the Companion (mawqūf). My father said: Abū Bakr b. ʿAyyāsh narrated it from al-Aʿmash and raised it to the Prophet (marfūʿ), but the hadith itself is stopped at the Companion (mawqūf), and that is more sound (aṣaḥḥ).

والموقوف أشبههما بالصواب
machine translationThe stopped (mawqūf) version is the closer of the two to being correct.
