وحَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ بْنُ إِسْحَاق ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : كَانَتْ دِيَارُنَا نَائِيَةً عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَأَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَبِيعَ بُيُوتَنَا ، فَنَقْتَرِبَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَنَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ لَكُمْ بِكُلِّ خَطْوَةٍ دَرَجَةً " .
Jabir bin 'Abdullah narrated: Our houses were situated far away from the mosque; we, therefore, decided to sell our houses so that we may be able to come near the mosque. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade us (to do so) and said: There is for every step (towards the mosque) a degree (of reward) for you.
