[1516] (...) It was narrated that Ubayy bin Ka'b said: "There was a man among the Anshâr whose house was the most remote house in Al-Madinah, but he never missed a prayer with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. We felt sorry for him, and I said to him: 'O so-and-so, why don't you buy a donkey to spare you from the burning sand and the reptiles of the land?' He said: 'By Allâh, I would not like my house to be beside the house of Muḥammad ﷺ.' I thought that this was too much, so I brought him to the Prophet of Allâh ﷺ and told him. So he called him and he told him about that, and mentioned that he hoped for reward for his footsteps. The Prophet ﷺ said to him: 'You will have that which you seek.'"

(663) وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، كِلَاهُمَا عَنِ التَّيْمِيِّ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ بِنَحْوِهِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بَيْتُهُ أَقْصَى بَيْتٍ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، فَكَانَ لَا تُخْطِئُهُ الصَّلَاةُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: فَتَوَجَّعْنَا لَهُ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: يَا فُلَانُ لَوْ أَنَّكَ اشْتَرَيْتَ حِمَارًا يَقِيكَ مِنَ الرَّمْضَاءِ، وَيَقِيكَ مِنْ هَوَامِّ الْأَرْضِ، قَالَ: أَمَ وَاللهِ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ بَيْتِي مُطَنَّبٌ بِبَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: فَحَمَلْتُ بِهِ حِمْلًا حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، قَالَ: فَدَعَاهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، وَذَكَرَ لَهُ أَنَّهُ يَرْجُو فِي أَثَرِهِ الْأَجْرَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ لَكَ مَا احْتَسَبْتَ» وَحَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْأَشْعَثِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، كِلَاهُمَا عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَزْهَرَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ
