Details of the Companions and the ‘Tabe’een’ at the time of narrating this Hadith of Prophet (p.b.u.h.)

          In ‘Sahih Bukhari’, it is narrated from Khalid al-Hazaa, who narrated from Akrama, and he narrated from Ibn e Abbas and his son Ali: Both of them went to Abu Saeed e Khadri to hear this narrative from him. At that time, he was building a wall, he folded his cloak and began to speak till he reached the story of the construction of Masjid un Nabi and said: We used to lift the bricks of the mosque one at a time whereas Ammar lifted two bricks at a time. Then the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) attended him and wiped the dust off his face while he was saying:

          ‘Woe upon Ammar; he will invite them towards heaven while they will invite him unto Hell’.

          Abu Saeed e Khadri said: Ammar used to say: I seek refuge in God from there deceits. In the book ‘Sahih al-Bukhari’, another chain has been mentioned for this narration.[1]
