STEPS TAKEN TO THE MOSQUE H 1070 "Whosoever makes his ablution at home and then walks to one of the Houses of Allah to fulfill an obligation amongst the obligations of Allah. One step wipes out one of his sins and another step raises his rank." R 1070 Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
1054- وعنه : أنَّ النبيَّ صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ، قَالَ : "مَنْ تَطَهَّرَ في بَيْتِهِ ، ثُمَّ مَضَى إلى بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِ اللَّهِ ، لِيَقْضِي فَرِيضَةً مِنْ فَرَائِضِ اللَّهِ ، كَانَتْ خُطُواتُهُ ، إحْدَاهَا تَحُطُّ خَطِيئَةً ، وَالأُخْرَى تَرْفَعُ دَرَجَةً" رواه مسلم .
