Anas bin Malik said: The Mosque (of the Prophet) was built in the land of Banu al-Najjar which contained crops, palm trees and graves of the disbelievers. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Sell it to me for some price. They (Banu al-Najjar) replied: We do not want (any price). The palm-trees were cut off, and the crops removed and the graves of the disbelievers dug opened. He then narrated the rest of the tradition.

The version of Abd al-Warith has the word dung-hill (instead of crop), and he asserted that he narrated this tradition to Hammad.
