Hadith of Abu Uthman al-Nahdi from Ubayy ibn Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، ٢١٢١٢ - حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أُبَيٍّ، قَالَ: كَانَ ابْنُ عَمٍّ لِي شَاسِعَ الدَّارِ، فَقُلْتُ: لَوْ أَنَّكَ اتَّخَذْتَ حِمَارًا أَوْ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ: مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ بَيْتِي مُطَنَّبٌ بِبَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: فَمَا سَمِعْتُ عَنْهُ كَلِمَةً أَكْرَهَ إِلَيَّ مِنْهَا، قَالَ: فَإِذَا هُوَ يَذْكُرُ الْخُطَا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ، فَسَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: "إِنَّ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ دَرَجَةً " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abi (may Allah be pleased with him) that a cousin of mine lived far from the Prophet’s Mosque. I said to him, “It would be better 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 statement from his mouth, but then it became clear that what he meant was to attain the reward of walking from afar to 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.” It is narrated from Ubayy bin Ka’b (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, “You will get what you intended.”

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "أَمَا إِنَّ لَكَ مَا احْتَسَبْتَ " (١)،

Narrated to us Ali ibn Ishaq, narrated to us Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak, informed us Asim al-Ahwal, from Abu Uthman, narrated to me Ubayy ibn Ka'b, he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Verily, you will have what you intended."

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)،

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."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عُثْمَانَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَجُلٌ يَأْتِي الصَّلَاةَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: لَوْ اتَّخَذْتَ حِمَارًا يَقِيكَ الرَّمْضَاءَ وَالشَّوْكَ وَالْوَقْعَ، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: وَذَكَرَ رَابِعَةً، قَالَ: مَحْلُوفَةً، مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ طُنُبِي بِطُنُبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: "لَكَ مَا نَوَيْتَ " أَوْ قَالَ: "لَكَ أَجْرُ مَا نَوَيْتَ " شُعْبَةُ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ (٢)، ، •

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُعَاذِ بْنِ مُعَاذِ الْعَنْبَرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَجُلٌ مَا أَعْلَمُ مِنَ النَّاسِ مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ مِمَّنْ يُصَلِّي الْقِبْلَةَ أَبْعَدَ بَيْتًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ مِنْهُ، قَالَ: فَكَانَ يَحْضُرُ الصَّلَوَاتِ كُلَّهُنَّ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: لَوْ اشْتَرَيْتَ حِمَارًا تَرْكَبُهُ فِي الرَّمْضَاءِ، والظَّلْمَاءِ قَالَ: وَاللهِ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ بَيْتِي بَلِزْقِ مَسْجِدِ (١) رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. قَالَ: فَأَخْبَرْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، لِكَيْمَا يُكْتَبَ أَثَرِي، وَرُجُوعِي إِلَى أَهْلِي، وَإِقْبَالِي إِلَيْهِ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ. قَالَ: "أَنْطَاكَ اللهُ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ " أَوْ " أَعْطَاكَ مَا احْتَسَبْتَ أَجْمَعَ " أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ (٢)، ، •

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)، •

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ الْبَاهِلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أُبَيٍّ،: أَنَّ رَجُلًا اعْتَزَى فَأَعَضَّهُ أُبَيٌّ بِهَنِ أَبِيهِ. فَقَالُوا: مَا، ،

Abu Uthman says that a man falsely attributed himself to someone, so Abi (may Allah be pleased with him) shamed him with reference to his father's private parts. People said to him, "You do not usually speak so openly?" He replied, "We have been commanded to do so."
