There was a person among the Ansar whose house was situated at the farthest end of Medina, but he never in missed any prayer along with the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). We felt pity for him and said to him: O, so and so, had you bought a donkey it would have saved you from the burning sand and would have saved you from the reptiles of the earth. He said: Listen I by Allah, I do not like my house to be situated by the side of Muhammad ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). I took (these words of his) ill and came to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and informed him about (these words). He (the Holy Prophet) called him and he said exactly like that (which he had mentioned to Ubbay bin Ka'b), but made a mention of this (also) that he wanted a reward for his steps. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: In fact for you is the reward which you expect.
