اُردوEn
(وَعَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِنَحْوِهِ وَفِيهِ) فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَرِهَ أَنْ تُعْرَى الْمَدِينَةُ، فَقَالَ: ((يَا بَنِي سَلِمَةَ! أَلَا تَحْتَسِبُونَ آثَارَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ؟)) قَالُوا: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! فَأَقَامُوا
A similar hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, in which the words are as follows: When this matter reached the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he disliked the outskirts of Madinah becoming deserted, he said to them: O Banu Salamah! Do you not hope for reward from Allah Almighty for the traces of your (footsteps) towards the mosque? They said: O Messenger of Allah! Why not. Then they remained in the same place.
