Musnad of Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 14611 — Musnad of Jabir ibn Abdullah
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ جَابِرًا أَسَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : فِي كَثْرَةِ خُطَا الرَّجُلِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ شَيْئًا ؟ فَقَالَ : هَمَمْنَا أَنْ نَنْتَقِلَ مِنْ دُورِنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لِقُرْبِ الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَزَجَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، وَقَالَ : " لَا تُعْرُوا الْمَدِينَةَ ، فَإِنَّ لَكُمْ فَضِيلَةً عَلَى مَنْ عِنْدَ الْمَسْجِدِ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ دَرَجَةً " .
Abu al-Zubair says that I asked Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) whether he had heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say anything about frequently walking towards the mosque. He replied: Once we intended to move closer to the mosque. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) learned of this, he strictly forbade us and said: Do not empty Madinah, for every step you take towards the mosque, you receive one degree of virtue more than those who live near it.
