3932. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ arrived at Al-Madīna, he alighted at the upper part of Al-Madīna among the tribe called Banū 'Amr bin 'Aūf, and he stayed with them for fourteen nights. Then he sent for the chiefs of Banū An-Najjār, and they came, carrying their swords. As if I am just now looking at Allāh's Messenger ﷺ on his she-camel with Abū Bakr riding behind him (on the same camel) and the chiefs of Banū An-Najjār around him till he dismounted in the courtyard of Abū Ayyūb's home. The Prophet ﷺ used to offer the Ṣalāt (prayer) wherever the Ṣalāt was due, and he would offer Ṣalāt even in sheepfolds. Then he ordered that the mosque be built. He sent for the chiefs of Banū An-Najjār, and when they came, he said, "O Banū An-Najjār! Suggest to me the price of this garden of yours." They replied "No! By Allāh, we do not demand its price except from Allāh." In that garden there were the (following) things that I will tell you: Graves of Mushrikūn(1), unlevelled land with holes and pits etc., and date-palm trees. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ ordered that the graves of the Mushrikūn be dug up and, the unlevelled land be levelled
and the date-palm trees be cut down. The trunks of the trees were arranged so as to form the wall facing the Qiblah. Stone pillars were built at the sides of its gate. The Companions of the Prophet ﷺ were carrying the stones and reciting some lyrics, and Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was with them and they were saying,
"O Allāh! There is no good except the good of the Hereafter.
So bestow victory on the Anṣār and the emigrants."
