557. Ubayy bin Ka'b said: "There was a person who used to pray (with us) whose house was so far that no one knew of any person who used to pray towards the Qiblah from among the people of Al-Madinah whose house was farther than his. And he never used to miss any prayer in the Masjid. (Once) I said to him: 'Why don't you buy a donkey-so that you can ride it over the hot ground, and during the dark?' He said: 'I would not like that my house be next to the Masjid!' His response was conveyed to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, so he asked him (what he intended) with it. He replied: 'I intended, O Messenger of Allāh, that my coming to the Masjid and returning to my family should be written for me (as a reward).' So he said: 'Allāh has given you all of that; Allāh has granted you all what you intended in full.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

557 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ، أَنَّ أَبَا عُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَجُلٌ لَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ مِمَّنْ يُصَلِّي الْقِبْلَةَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَبْعَدَ مَنْزِلًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ، وَكَانَ لَا تُخْطِئُهُ صَلَاةٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقُلْتُ: لَوِ اشْتَرَيْتَ حِمَارًا تَرْكَبُهُ فِي الرَّمْضَاءِ وَالظُّلْمَةِ، فَقَالَ: مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ مَنْزِلِي إِلَى جَنْبِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَنُمِيَ الْحَدِيثُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: أَرَدْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يُكْتَبَ لِي إِقْبَالِي إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَرُجُوعِي إِلَى أَهْلِي إِذَا رَجَعْتُ، فَقَالَ: «أَعْطَاكَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ، أَنْطَاكَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَزَّ مَا احْتَسَبْتَ كُلَّهُ أَجْمَعَ»
