Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ حَدَّثَنَا بَحِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبَسَةَ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ بَنَى لِلَّهِ مَسْجِدًا لِيُذْكَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيهِ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَمَنْ أَعْتَقَ نَفْسًا مُسْلِمَةً كَانَتْ فِدْيَتَهُ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ وَمَنْ شَابَ شَيْبَةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.
English Translation
Haywah ibn Shurayh narrated to us: Baqiyyah narrated to us: Bahir ibn Sa’d narrated to us, from Khalid ibn Ma’dan, from Kathir ibn Murrah, from Amr ibn Abasah, that he narrated to them that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, so that Allah may be remembered in it, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise. And whoever frees a Muslim soul, it will be his ransom from Hellfire. And whoever turns gray with a single gray hair in the way of Allah, Mighty and Sublime, it will be a light for him on the Day of Resurrection."
