Chapter 6 · The Book of Mosques and Places of Prayerوَحَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: كَانَتْ دِيَارُنَا نَائِيَةً عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَأَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَبِيعَ بُيُوتَنَا، فَنَقْتَرِبَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَنَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ لَكُمْ بِكُلِّ خَطْوَةٍ دَرَجَةً».

Our houses were situated far away from the mosque; we, therefore, decided to sell our houses so that we may be able to come near the mosque. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) forbade us (to do so) and said: There is for every step (towards the mosque) a degree (of reward) for you.
