وَعَن عَمْرو بن عبسة أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا لِيُذْكَرَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ بُنِيَ لَهُ بَيْتٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَمَنْ أَعْتَقَ نَفْسًا مُسْلِمَةً كَانَتْ فِدْيَتَهُ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ. وَمَنْ شَابَ شَيْبَةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا يَوْم الْقِيَامَة» . رَوَاهُ فِي شرح السّنة

Translation

Amr ibn Abasah reported that the Prophet said: ‘Whoever builds a mosque in which God is remembered, a house will be built for him in Paradise. Whoever emancipates a Muslim soul, it will be his ransom from Hell. Whoever grows a gray hair in the path of God, it will be a light for him on the Day of Resurrection.’ It is transmitted in Sharh al-Sunnah.
