حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ الْخَيَّاطُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ زَادَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ مِنْ الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ إِلَى الْمَقْصُورَةِ وَزَادَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ نَبْغِي نَزِيدُ فِي مَسْجِدِنَا مَا زِدْتُ فِيهِ‏.‏

Translation

Hammad the tailor narrated to us; ‘Abd Allah narrated to us, from Nafi‘: ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, extended the mosque from the pillar to the enclosure, and ‘Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, extended it further. ‘Umar said, ‘Were it not that I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say, “We wish to extend our mosque,” I would not have extended it.’
