Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْأَشْيَبُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سُرَاقَةَ الْعَدَوِيِّ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ أَظَلَّ رَأْسَ غَازٍ أَظَلَّهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ جَهَّزَ غَازِيًا حَتَّى يَسْتَقِلَّ بِجَهَازِهِ كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِهِ وَمَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا يُذْكَرُ فِيهِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ‏.‏

Translation

Hasan ibn Musa al-Ashyab narrated to us; Ibn Lahi‘ah narrated to us; al-Walid ibn Abi al-Walid narrated to us, from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Suraqah al-‘Adawi, from ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘Whoever shelters the head of a warrior, Allah will shelter him on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever equips a warrior until he is fully equipped will receive a reward like his. Whoever builds a mosque in which Allah’s name is mentioned, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.’
