(عن يسار، عن المعرور قال: خطبنا عمر فقال: يأيها الناس) (*): "إنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ بَنَى هَذَا الْمَسْجِدَ وَنحْنُ مَعَهُ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ والأنْصَارُ، فَإِذا اشْتَدَّ الزِّحَامُ فَليَسْجد الرَّجُلُ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى ظَهْرِ أَخِيهِ، وَرَأَى قَوْمًا يُصَلُّونَ فِى الطَّرِيق فَقَالَ: صَلُّوا فِى الْمَسْجِدِ".
