حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَجُلٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، لَا أَعْلَمُ رَجُلًا كَانَ أَبْعَدَ مِنْهُ مَنْزِلًا، أَوْ قَالَ: دَارًا، مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ مِنْهُ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: لَوْ اشْتَرَيْتَ حِمَارًا فَرَكِبْتَهُ فِي الرَّمْضَاءِ وَالظُّلُمَاتِ، فَقَالَ: مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ دَارِي، أَوْ قَالَ: مَنْزِلِي، إِلَى جَنْبِ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَنُمِيَ الْحَدِيثُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: "مَا أَرَدْتَ بِقَوْلِكَ مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ مَنْزِلِي، أَوْ قَالَ: دَارِي، إِلَى جَنْبِ الْمَسْجِدِ؟ " قَالَ: أَرَدْتُ أَنْ يُكْتَبَ إِقْبَالِي إِذَا أَقْبَلْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ، وَرُجُوعِي إِذَا رَجَعْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِي. قَالَ: "أَعْطَاكَ اللهُ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ " أَوْ " أَنْطَاكَ اللهُ مَا، ، احْتَسَبْتَ أَجْمَعَ " أَوْ " أَنْطَاكَ اللهُ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ مَا احْتَسَبْتَ أَجْمَعَ " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abi (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a man whose house was far from Masjid Nabawi. In my opinion, no one's house was farther than his. Someone said to him, "It would be good if you got a donkey or something similar." He replied, "I do not like that my house should be adjacent to the house of Muhammad (ﷺ)." I had never heard a more unpleasant sentence from his mouth than this, but then it became clear that his intention was to earn the reward of walking from afar towards the mosque. So they asked the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) about this, and the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He will receive a rank for every step, and you will get what you intended."
