حَدَّثَنَا
يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، عَنْ
شَيْخٍ مِنْ مَعَافِرَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ :
" إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ الرَّجُلُ ، فَأَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ ، كَتَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ يَخْطُوهَا عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ ، فَإِذَا صَلَّى فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، ثُمَّ قَعَدَ فِيهِ ، كَانَ كَالصَّائِمِ الْقَانِتِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 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 engaged in prayer, until he returns.
