[3387] 514 - (1398) Abū Salamah bin ‘Abdur-Raḥmān said: “‘Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abī Sa‘eed Al-Khudrī passed by me, and I said to him: What did your father say about the Masjid whose foundation was laid upon piety? He said: My father said: “I entered upon the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ in the house of one of his wives and I said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh, which of the two Masajid is the Masjid whose foundation was laid upon piety?’ He picked up a handful of pebbles then he threw them on the ground and said: ‘It is this Masjid of yours’ - referring to the Masjid of Al-Madinah. I said: ‘I bear witness that I heard your father saying that.’”
