[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, even if it is as small as a bird's nest, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise." Al-Abbas said: Ahmad bin Yunus said that it was said to Abu Bakr bin Ayyash: "People differ with you regarding this hadith, they do not consider it authentic." Abu Bakr bin Ayyash replied: "We heard this from Al-Amash, and Al-Amash was a young man."
