حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ - وَكَانَ مِنَ الْقَارَةِ وَهُوَ حَلِيفٌ - عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حَنْطَبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَحْمِلُونَ اللَّبِنَ إِلَى بِنَاءِ الْمَسْجِدِ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعَهُمْ، قَالَ: فَاسْتَقْبَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ عَارِضٌ لَبِنَةً عَلَى بَطْنِهِ، فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهَا قَدْ شُقَّتْ عَلَيْهِ، قُلْتُ: نَاوِلْنِيهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: " خُذْ غَيْرَهَا يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا عَيْشَ إِلَّا عَيْشُ الْآخِرَةِ " (٢)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were carrying bricks for the construction of the mosque. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) was also participating with them in this work. Meanwhile, I happened to meet the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and saw that he had placed a brick on his stomach. I thought perhaps he was having difficulty carrying it, so I said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), please give it to me." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Abu Hurairah, take another brick, for the real life is the life of the Hereafter."
