1632. Yazīd bin Abū Maryam said: "Abāyah bin Rifā'ah bin Rāfi' met me while I was walking to the Friday prayer. He said: 'Have glad tidings, for indeed these footsteps
of yours are in the cause of Allāh. I heard Abū ‘Abs say: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said, ‘Whoever gets his two feet dusty in the path of Allāh, then they are prohibited for the Fire.’” (Saḥīh)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Saḥīh Gharīb. Abū ‘Abs’s name is ‘Abdur-Raḥmān bin Jabr. There are narrations on this topic from Abū Bakr and a man from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ.
He said: Yazīd bin Abī Maryam is a man from Ash-Shām. Al-Walīd bin Muslim, Yahya bin Ḥamzah, and some others among the people of Ash-Shām report from him.
Buraid bin Abī Maryam is from Al-Kūfah. His father is one of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ whose name was Mālik bin Rabī‘ah. [Buraid bin Abī Maryam heard from Anas bin Mālik. Abū Ishāq Al-Hamdānī, ‘Aṭā’ bin As-Sā‘ib, Yūnus bin Abī Ishāq, and Shu‘bah reported Aḥādīth from Buraid bin Abī Maryam].

Commentary
What transpires from the narrator's report is that, in his view, anything done for the pleasure of Allāh is a deed done in the cause of Allāh. Now, if mere walking on foot toward a virtuous deed or with the intention of winning the pleasure of Allāh can earn so much reward, the extent of reward that one would get for taking pains and exerting one's utmost energies for it can very well be imagined.
