A Study of the Noble Masterpiece and the Gentle Elite in Explaining the Hadith of Building a Mosque For the Scholar Muhammad bin Muhammad bin Ahmed Al-Kabeer Al-Senbawi (D. 1232 AH)

Abstract

This research is a scientific investigation of an important manuscript written by a great scholar and literary writer, Mohammed bin Mohammed bin Ahmed bin Abd al-Qadir bin Abd al-'Aziz, Abu Abd al-Azhari al-Maliki, of Moroccan origin, al-Sinbawi and then al-Masri, known as al-Mu’awid al-Kabir. An important hadith in its chapter is the hadith (“Whoever builds a mosque for Allah like a nest of a dove glorifying Him there, Allah has built a house for him in Paradise”). It is one of the authentic hadiths, and I have found three copies of it, a copy in the library of Muhammad bin Saud University in Riyadh and I made it the mother copy and symbolized it with the symbol (A). It is a good copy that is free of cross-out and mistakes, which are ahead of similar ones in history. Another copy was found in the King Abdul Aziz Library in Riyadh symbolized by the symbol (B). the last copy was found in the central library in Al-Sayyida Zainab Mosque in Egypt, and it was symbolized by the symbol (C). All three copies were in Moroccan script. This paper handles all the issues discussed in this Hadith.
