738. It was narrated from Jābir bin 'Abdullāh that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever builds a mosque for the sake of Allāh, like a sparrow's nest or even smaller, Allāh will build for him a house in Paradise." (Sahih)

Arabic text

738 - حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ: 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 صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا لِلَّهِ كَمَفْحَصِ قَطَاةٍ، أَوْ أَصْغَرَ، بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ»

Commentary

Rather than the apparent volume of the deed or deeds done by a person, it is the amount of effort and the sincerity behind the righteous deed that shall count with Allāh in the Hereafter.
