Sahih al-Bukhari 655

Translation

Anas said, "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'O Bani Salima! Don't you think that for every step of yours (that you take towards the mosque) there is a reward (while coming for prayer)?" Mujahid said: "Regarding Allah's Statement: "We record that which they have sent before (them), and their traces" (36.12). 'Their traces' means 'their steps.' " And Anas said that the people of Bani Salima wanted to shift to a place near the Prophet ﷺ but Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked the idea of leaving their houses uninhabited and said, "Don't you think that you will get the reward for your footprints." Mujahid said, "Their foot prints mean their foot steps and their going on foot."

  machine translationMujāhid said regarding His saying {وَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُوا وَآثَارَهُمْ}: "Their steps." And Ibn Abī Maryam said: Yaḥyā b. Ayyūb informed us: Ḥumayd narrated to me: Anas narrated to me that Banū Salimah wanted to move away from their homes and settle near the Prophet ﷺ. He said: So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked that {الْمَدِينَةَ} be left empty, and he said: "Will you not seek reward for your footsteps?" Mujāhid said: "Their steps are their traces, that is, walking on the earth with their feet." Report a problem
