A man from the tribe of Tayy narrates from his father: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) set out for the mosque and began walking with quick steps. He was told: You are doing this, yet you yourself forbid it? He said: I intended to reach the start of the prayer and the opening takbir.
Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains a narrator who is not named, as you can see. I say: Hadiths about walking to the prayer will come a few chapters later, if Allah wills.
