Sunan Ibn Majah 742 (Book 4, Hadith 8) #30094
Forgiveness Encouraged by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) purchased a piece of land from the Banu Najjar tribe to build his mosque and encouraged them to forgive the Ansar and Muhajirah.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "The location where the Prophet's Mosque was built belonged to Banu Najjar. In it there were date-palm trees and graves of the idolaters. The Prophet said to them: 'Name its price'. They said: 'We will never take any money for it'. The Prophet built it and they were assisting him, and the Prophet was saying: 'The real life is the life of the Hereafter so forgive the Ansar and the Muhajirah'. Before the mosque was built, the Prophet would perform prayer wherever he was when the time for prayer came".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ الضُّبَعِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ كَانَ مَوْضِعُ مَسْجِدِ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ لِبَنِي النَّجَّارِ وَكَانَ فِيهِ نَخْلٌ وَمَقَابِرُ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ ‏"‏ ثَامِنُونِي بِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا لاَ نَأْخُذُ لَهُ ثَمَنًا أَبَدًا ‏.‏ قَالَ فَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ يَبْنِيهِ وَهُمْ يُنَاوِلُونَهُ وَالنَّبِيُّ ـ ـ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ أَلاَ إِنَّ الْعَيْشَ عَيْشُ الآخِرَةِ فَاغْفِرْ لِلأَنْصَارِ وَالْمُهَاجِرَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْنِيَ الْمَسْجِدَ حَيْثُ أَدْرَكَتْهُ الصَّلاَةُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the building of the first mosque in Islam - The Prophet's Mosque. It was narrated by Anas bin Malik that it belonged to Banu Najjar and there were date-palm trees and graves of idolaters on it. When asked for its price they refused to take any money for it so the prophet built it with their help. During this process he encouraged them to forgive both the Ansar and Muhajirah who were two groups of people who had migrated from Makkah with him when he established Islam in Madinah. He also taught them that life in this world is temporary but life in hereafter is eternal so they should focus on that instead.
