Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْحُسَيْنِ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْكِلاَبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّقِّيُّ، عَنْ لَيْثِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قِيلَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ إِنَّ مَيْسَرَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ تَعَطَّلَتْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ مَنْ عَمَّرَ مَيْسَرَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ كُتِبَ لَهُ كِفْلاَنِ مِنَ الأَجْرِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Abi al-Husayn Abu Jafar narrated to us: Amr ibn Uthman al-Kilabi narrated to us: Ubaydullah ibn Amr al-Raqqi narrated to us, from Layth ibn Abi Sulaym, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, who said: It was said to the Prophet that the left side of the mosque had become deserted. The Prophet said: “Whoever populates the left side of the mosque will have two shares of reward recorded for him.”
