"مَن حَفَرَ مَاءً لَمْ يَشْرَبْ مِنهُ كَبدٌ حَرَّى مِنْ إِنْس وَجِنٍّ [وَلا ] مِنْ سَبُعٍ وَلا طَائِرِ إِلا آجَرَهُ اللهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَمَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا كَمَفحَصِ قَطَاةٍ أَوْ أَصْغَرَ بَنَى اللهُ لَهُ بَيتًا في الْجَنَّةَ".

ابن ماجة:٧٣٨ – حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ نَشِيطٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا لِلَّهِ كَمَفْحَصِ قَطَاةٍ أَوْ أَصْغَرَ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ
