GOOD DEED OF WALKING TO THE MOSQUE

137

“The children of Salimah decided to move nearer to the Mosque. On learning this, the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said to them: ‘I have heard that you intend to move nearer to the Mosque.’ They replied: ‘That is our intention O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him.’ Twice he said: ‘Children of Salimah, keep your homes, your footprints are recorded. Every step you take towards the Mosque raises your rank.’"

Muslim with a chain up to Jabir who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
