[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ carried the first stone to build the mosque, then Abu Bakr carried another stone, and then Uthman carried another stone. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, do you not see how they are assisting you?" He said, "O Aisha, these are the caliphs after me."
أَوَّلُ حَجَرٍ حَمَلَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِبِنَاءِ الْمَسْجِدِ ثُمَّ حَمَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَجَرًا آخَرَ ثُمَّ حَمَلَ عُثْمَانُ حَجَرًا آخَرَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا تَرَى إِلَى هَؤُلَاءِ كَيْفَ يُسَاعِدُونَكَ؟ فَقَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْخُلَفَاءُ مِنْ بَعْدِي»
