Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 2093

وَعَنْ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ : كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بِالزَّاوِيَةِ إِذْ سَمِعَ الْأَذَانَ ثُمَّ قَارَبَ فِي الْخُطَا حَتَّى دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مَشَى بِي هَذِهِ الْمِشْيَةَ ، فَقَالَ : أَتَدْرِي يَا ثَابِتُ لِمَ مَشَيْتُ بِكَ هَذِهِ الْمِشْيَةَ ؟ " قُلْتُ : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ : " لِيَكْثُرَ عَدَدُ الْخُطَا فِي طَلَبِ الصَّلَاةِ" .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ وَأَسْقَطَ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ ، وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ أَنَسٌ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ ، وَفِيهِ الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ نِبْرَاسٍ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Thabit narrates: I was walking with Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) in al-Zawiyah when he heard the call to prayer. Then he began walking with short steps until I entered the mosque. Then he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once walked with me in this same way, and asked: O Thabit, do you know why I walked with you in this way? I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So that the number of steps in pursuit of the prayer may be greater.
Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and omitted Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him), whereas Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated it from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him). And Allah knows best. Its chain contains al-Dahhak bin Nibras, who is da'if (weak).
