Bayhaqi 20105 — One who vows, as an act of piety, to walk

قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: لَزِمَهُ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ إِنْ قَدَرَ عَلَى الْمَشْيِ " قَالَ أَصْحَابُنَا: " لِأَنَّ الْمَشْيَ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ الْبِرِّ بِرٌّ "، اسْتِدْلَالًا بِقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {يَأْتُوكَ رِجَالًا} [الحج: 27].
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "If he is able to walk, walking is binding upon him."
Our companions said: "Because walking to a place of righteousness is (in itself) righteousness." This is by inference from the saying of Allah Almighty: "They will come to you on foot." [Surah al-Hajj: 27]
وَبِمَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ بِبَغْدَادَ أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أنبأ سُلَيْمَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أُبِيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ: كَانَ رَجُلٌ مَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ مِمَّنْ يُصَلِّي بِالْقِبْلَةِ ⦗١٣٤⦘ أَبْعَدَ مَنْزِلًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ مِنْهُ، وَكَانَ يَحْضُرُ الصَّلَوَاتِ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: فَقِيلَ لَهُ: لَوِ اشْتَرَيْتَ حِمَارًا، فَرَكِبْتَهُ فِي الرَّمْضَاءِ وَالظَّلْمَاءِ فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ مَنْزِلِي يَلْزَقُ "، الْمَسْجِدَ، فَأُخْبِرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَلِكَ، فَسَأَلَهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْمَا يُكْتَبُ أَثَرِي وَخَطَئِي وَرُجُوعِي إِلَى أَهْلِي وَإِقْبَالِي وَإِدْبَارِي "، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَنْطَاكَ اللهُ مَا احْتَسَبْتَ أَجْمَعَ " أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ أَوْجُهٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ.
Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: There was a man who would attend the prayer despite living far from the mosque. It was said to him: Buy a donkey to ride in the heat and the darkness. He said: By Allah! I would not like my house to be next to the mosque. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of this. He was asked about it, and he said: O Messenger of Allah! Are not my footsteps, and my returning to my home and family and my coming, recorded (for reward)? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You will receive the reward of what you intended."
