Narrated byNafi’
Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ الْخَيَّاطُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ زَادَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ مِنْ الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ إِلَى الْمَقْصُورَةِ وَزَادَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ نَبْغِي نَزِيدُ فِي مَسْجِدِنَا مَا زِدْتُ فِيهِ.
English Translation
It was narrated from Nafi’ that ‘Umar added to the mosque the area between the pillar and the enclosure, and Hadrat 'Uthman added, `Umar said: Were it not for the fact that I heard the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say. `We want to extend our mosque,” I would not have added anything to it.
