حَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الْخَرَّاطِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ مَرَّ بِى عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِى سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِىِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ كَيْفَ سَمِعْتَ أَبَاكَ يَذْكُرُ فِى الْمَسْجِدِ الَّذِى أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَى قَالَ قَالَ أَبِى دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فِى بَيْتِ بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَىُّ الْمَسْجِدَيْنِ الَّذِى أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَى قَالَ فَأَخَذَ كَفًّا مِنْ حَصْبَاءَ فَضَرَبَ بِهِ الأَرْضَ ثُمَّ قَالَ « هُوَ مَسْجِدُكُمْ هَذَا ». - لِمَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ - قَالَ فَقُلْتُ أَشْهَدُ أَنِّى سَمِعْتُ أَبَاكَ هَكَذَا يَذْكُرُهُ.

Abu Salamah bin ‘Abdur-Rahman said: “‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Sa‘eed Al-Khudri passed by me, and I said to him: What did your father say about the Masjid whose foundation was laid upon piety? He said: My father said: “I entered upon the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) in the house of one of his wives and I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, which of the two Masjid is the Masjid whose foundation was laid upon piety'?’ He picked up a handful of pebbles then he threw them on the ground and said: ‘lt is this Masjid of yours’ - referring to the Masjid of Al-Madinah. I said: ‘I bear witness that I heard your father saying that.”’
