After no longer joining the Muslim army, Amr bin Ash is believed Caliph Umar bin Khattab became governor of Egypt. Become the leader of the Muslims there, and preaching invites to anyone to believe in Allah SWT.
Amr bin Ash occupies a magnificent palace, complete with various pleasures and security guarantees at all times. But the splendor of his palace was in contrast to the small, rickety shack that was not far from the front of his palace.
In the book the story of justice of Islamic leaders Nasiruddin writings are said, One time Amr thought to displace the hut replaced by building a grand mosque. It is intended to be a balance between the palace as a reflection of world life and the mosque as an effort to achieve happiness hereafter.
Then Amr gathered all his officials to discuss the possibility of building the mosque of his dreams. At the meeting, Amr was informed that the ramshackle shack in front of his palace belonged to a poor Jewish family. This information further reinforces Amr's desire to immediately lay the first stone of mosque construction.
