WHEN FOOTPRINTS ARE RECORDED H 1072 "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.'" R 1072 Muslim with a chain up to Jabir who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
1056 - وعن جابر رضي الله عنه ، قَالَ : خَلَت البِقاعُ حولَ المَسْجِدِ ، فَأَرَادَ بَنُو سَلمَةَ أنْ يَنْتَقِلُوا قُرْبَ المَسْجِدِ ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ : "بَلَغَنِي أنَّكُم تُريدُونَ أنْ تَنْتَقِلُوا قُرْبَ المَسْجِدِ ؟" قالوا : نعم ، يا رَسُول اللَّهِ ، قَدْ أرَدْنَا ذَلِكَ . فَقَالَ : "بَنِي سَلِمَةَ دِيَارَكُم تُكْتَبْ آثارُكُمْ ، دِيَارَكُمْ تُكْتَبْ آثارُكُمْ" فقالوا : مَا يَسُرُّنَا أنَّا كُنَّا تَحَوَّلْنَا . رواه مسلم ، وروى البخاري معناه من رواية أنس .
