380 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: ثنا عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ: كَانَ لِي ابْنُ عَمٍّ شَاسِعُ الدَّارِ فَقُلْتُ: لَوِ اشْتَرَيْتُ بَيْتًا قَرِيبًا مْنَ الْمَسْجِدِ أَوْ حِمَارًا قَالَ: مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ بَيْتِيَ مُطْنَبًا بِبَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ كَلِمَةً مُنْذُ أَسْلَمَ كَانَتْ أَشَدَّ عَلَيَّ مِنْهَا فَإِذَا هُوَ يَذْكُرُ الْخَطَأَ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةِ يَخْطُوهَا إِلَي الْمَسْجِدِ دَرَجَةً»
Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I had a cousin whose house was very far. I said to him: If you take a house near the mosque or get a donkey, it would be appropriate. He replied: I do not like that my house should be among the houses of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Since he had accepted Islam, I had not heard anything from him that displeased me more than this. And now he was mentioning coming on foot. I presented myself before the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and mentioned this to him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "For every step he takes while coming towards the mosque, he will get a rank in return for each step."
