حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ (١) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، بَيْتُهُ أَقْصَى بَيْتٍ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، فَكَانَ لَا تَكَادُ تُخْطِئُهُ الصَّلَاةُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: فَتَوَجَّعْتُ لَهُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا فُلَانُ، لَوْ أَنَّكَ اشْتَرَيْتَ حِمَارًا يَقِيكَ مِنْ حَرِّ الرَّمْضَاءِ، وَيَقِيكَ مِنْ هَوَامِّ الْأَرْضِ قَالَ: وَاللهِ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ بَيْتِي بِطُنُبِ بَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. قَالَ: فَحَمَلْتُ حِمْلًا، حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ بِهِ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، فَدَعَاهُ، فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، وَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ يَرْجُو فِي أَثَرِهِ الْأَجْرَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "إِنَّ لَكَ مَا احْتَسَبْتَ " (٢)، •
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."
