The reader: Ali ibn Abdullah narrated to us, saying: Ya'qub ibn Ibrahim ibn Sa'd narrated to us, saying: My father narrated to me from Salih ibn Kaysan, saying: Nafi' narrated to us that Abdullah ibn Umar informed him
In the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) the mosque was built of adobes, its roof of the leaves of date-palms and its pillars of the stems of date-palms. أن المسجد كان على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مبنيا باللبن وسقفه الجريد وعمده خشب النخل
Sahih al-Bukhari 446


The Shaykh : Allah is the Greatest.
The reader:
Abu Bakr did not alter it. `Umar expanded it on the same pattern as it was in the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) by using adobes, leaves of date-palms and changing the pillars into wooden ones. `Uthman changed it by expanding it to a great extent and built its walls with engraved stones and lime and made its pillars of engraved stones and its roof of teak wood. فلم يزد فيه أبو بكر شيئا وزاد فيه عمر وبناه على بنيانه في عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم باللبن والجريد وأعاد عمده خشبا ثم غيره عثمان فزاد فيه زيادة كثيرة وبنى جداره بالحجارة المنقوشة والقصة وجعل عمده من حجارة منقوشة وسقفه بالساج

The Shaykh : What?
The reader:
And its roof of cedar وسقفه بالساج

The Shaykh : And the work of Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) is undoubtedly a prescribed act, meaning it is not blameworthy, because Uthman is one of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, and we have not heard that anyone criticized him. However, regarding his statement
He built a wall with carved stones and plaster بنى جدارا بالحجارة المنقوشه والقصة
, "al-qasah" is plaster. As for his statement
Carved المنقوشة
, it appears that the intended meaning is a carving that does not affect the worshippers by drawing their attention or disturbing their thoughts. Yes.
