[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Medina, he said to his companions, "Come with us to the people of Quba' so that we may greet them." So they went to them and greeted them, and they welcomed him. Then he said, "O people of Quba', bring me some stones from this barren land." So many stones were gathered for him, and he had a camel with him. He marked their direction of prayer, then he took a stone and placed it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Abu Bakr, take a stone and place it next to my stone." Then he said, "O Umar, take a stone and place it next to the stone of Abu Bakr." Then he turned and said, "O Uthman, take a stone and place it next to the stone of Umar." Then he turned to the people, holding another stone, and said, "A man should place his stone wherever he desires."
لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ «انْطَلِقُوا بِنَا إِلَى أَهْلِ قُبَاءَ فَنُسَلِّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ» فَأَتَاهُمْ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَرَحَّبُوا بِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَهْلَ قُبَاءَ إِيتُونِي بِأَحْجَارٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْحَرَّةِ» فَجُمِعَتْ عِنْدَهُ أَحْجَارٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمَعَهُ عَنَزَةٌ لَهُ فَخَطَّ قِبْلَتَهُمْ فَأَخَذَ حَجَرًا فَوَضَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ خُذْ حَجَرًا فَضَعْهُ إِلَى حِجْرِي» ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا عُمَرُ خُذْ حَجَرًا فَضَعْهُ إِلَى جَنْبِ حَجَرِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ» ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ فَقَالَ «يَا عُثْمَانُ خُذْ حَجَرًا فَضَعْهُ إِلَى جَنْبِ حَجَرِ عُمَرَ» ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى النَّاسِ بِآخِرَةٍ فَقَالَ «وَضَعَ رَجُلٌ حَجَرَهُ حَيْثُ أَحَبَّ عَلَى ذِي الْخَطِّ»
