The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
He who built a mosque for Allah , the Exalted, Allah would build for him a house in Paradise. (Sahih Muslim)

The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
When a man dies, his good deeds come to an end except three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge and a righteous son who will pray for him. (Sahih Muslim)

Ongoing charity is that which continues to earn reward after a person has died, hence many of the scholars defined it as the waqf, such as building a mosque, because the reward will continue to be earned so long as the waqf remains.
