The building of the Prophet's Mosque

A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.

The Prophet and his companions built the Prophet ﷺ's Mosque in Medina with mud bricks and palm branches, as a house of prayer and care.

Upon arriving in Medina, the Prophet ﷺ's camel knelt on land belonging to two orphan youths of the Banu al-Najjar clan, which was purchased to establish the Prophet's Mosque. The Emigrants and Helpers joined with the Prophet in carrying bricks and palm trunks to construct the mosque, which became the beating heart of worship, education, and community support.
