The answer

You are not permitted to sell the land for which you made a vow to build a mosque on its ground floor and a residence above it, as an act of gratitude to Allah. This is because you have not yet despaired of being able to build, and you must wait until it becomes easy for you to do so and fulfill your vow. There is no zakat due on it because it is not for trade.
