القرب من المسجد أفضل أم البعد

Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 6145 — Is being near the mosque better
٦١٤٥ - حدثنا يزيد بن هارون عن التيمي عن أبي عثمان النهدي عن أبي بن كعب قال: كان رجل بالمدينة ما أعلم أحدًا من أهل المدينة ممن يصلي (١) القبلة أبعد منزلًا من المسجد منه، فكان يشهد الصلاة مع رسول اللَّه ﷺ فقيل (له) (٢): (لو) (٣) (ابتعت) (٤) حمارًا تركبه في الرمضاء والظلمة، فقال: واللَّه ما يسرني أن (منزلي) (٥) (بلزق) (٦) المسجد فذكر ذلك للنبي ﷺ فقال: يا رسول اللَّه، (كيما) (٧) يكتب خطاي (وإقبالي) (٨) وإدباري ورجوعي إلى أهلي، فقال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: (أنطاك) (٩) اللَّه ⦗٣٠٣⦘ ذلك وأعطاك ما احتسبت (أجمع) (١٠) " أو كما قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ (١١).
Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: There was a man in Madinah, and I do not know of anyone among the people of Madinah who prayed towards the qiblah whose house was farther from the mosque than his, and he used to attend the prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Someone said to him: "If only you would buy a donkey to ride on in the scorching heat and the darkness." He said: "By Allah, it would not please me at all that my house were right beside the mosque." This was mentioned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the man said: "O Messenger of Allah, so that my steps may be written for me: my coming and my going, and my returning to my family." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah has granted you that, and Allah has granted you all that you hoped to be rewarded for", or as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said.
