[وَقَالَ] الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ، ثَنَا مَيْسَرَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ السَّعْدِيِّ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ قَالَا:
خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ - فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثًا طَوِيلًا - وَفِيهِ: « وَمَنْ بَنَى لِلهِ مَسْجِدًا أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ بِكُلِّ شِبْرٍ - أَوْ قَالَ: بِكُلِّ ذِرَاعٍ - أَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ مَدِينَةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَفِضَّةٍ، وَدُرٍّ، وَيَاقُوتٍ، وَلُؤْلُؤٍ، فِي كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ أَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفَ قَصْرٍ، فِي كُلِّ قَصْرٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ دَارٍ، فِي كُلِّ دَارٍ أَلْفُ بَيْتٍ، فِي كُلِّ بَيْتٍ أَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفَ سَرِيرٍ، عَلَى كُلِّ سَرِيرٍ زَوْجَةٌ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ، وَفِي كُلِّ بَيْتٍ أَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفَ وَصِيفَةٍ، وَفِي كُلِّ بَيْتٍ أَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفَ مَائِدَةٍ، عَلَى كُلِّ مَائِدَةٍ أَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفَ قَصْعَةٍ، فِي كُلِّ قَصْعَةٍ أَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفَ لَوْنٍ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ، وَيُعْطِي اللهُ تَعَالَى وَلِيَّهُ مِنَ الْقُوَّةِ مَا يَأْتِي عَلَى تِلْكَ الْأَزْوَاجِ وَذَلِكَ الطَّعَامِ وَالشَّرَابِ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us - and he mentioned a long hadith - in which there is: "Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will grant him for every span - or he said: for every cubit - forty thousand thousand cities of gold, silver, pearls, rubies, and gems. In every city there are forty thousand palaces, in every palace seventy thousand houses, in every house a thousand rooms, in every room forty thousand beds, on every bed a wife from the houris of Paradise, and in every house forty thousand serving girls, and in every house forty thousand tables, on every table forty thousand bowls, in every bowl forty thousand kinds of food. And Allah, the Exalted, will give His friend such strength that he will be able to have intercourse with all those wives and consume all that food and drink in a single day."
