Hadith 17440

حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُشَّانَةَ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " إِذَا تَطَهَّرَ الرَّجُلُ ، ثُمَّ أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ يَرْعَى الصَّلَاةَ ، كَتَبَ لَهُ كَاتِبَاهُ ، أَوْ كَاتِبُهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ يَخْطُوهَا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ ، وَالْقَاعِدُ يَرْعَى الصَّلَاةَ كَالْقَانِتِ ، وَيُكْتَبُ مِنَ الْمُصَلِّينَ مِنْ حِينِ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a person performs ablution and comes to the mosque with the intention of prayer, then for every step he takes towards the mosque, an angel writes ten good deeds for him in exchange for each step. And the one who sits waiting for the prayer is like the one who is performing the prayer, and he is written among the worshippers from the time he leaves his house until he returns home.
