"عَنْ أُبَىٍّ قَالَ: كَانَ لِي ابْن عَمٍّ شَاسِع الدَّارِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: لَوِ (اتَّخَذْتَ) بَيْتًا قَرِيبًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ، أَوْ حِمَارًا؟ فَقَالَ: مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ بَيْتِى مُطَّنَبٌ بِبَيْت مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَمَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ كَلَمِةً مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتُ كَانَتْ أَشَدَّ عَلَىَّ مِنْهَا، فَإِذَا هُوَ يَذْكُرُ الْخُطَا فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ (كله)، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ يخْطُوهَا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ دَرَجَةً".

"From Ubayy, who said: I had a cousin whose house was far away. I said to him: 'If only you would take a house near the mosque, or a donkey?' He said: 'I would not like my house to be attached to the house of Muḥammad ﷺ.' I had not heard from him any word since I became Muslim that was harder on me than it. Then he was mentioning the steps. So I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him all of that, and he said: 'For him, for every step he takes to the mosque, there is a degree.'"
