Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) says: There was a man in Madinah who, to my knowledge, lived the farthest from the mosque, but he would attend all the prayers with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Someone said to him: If you buy a donkey and ride it during intense heat and darkness, you could come more easily. But he said: I am not pleased even if my house were right next to the mosque. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) learned of all this, he asked him: You said that you would not be pleased even if your house were next to the mosque—what did you mean by that? He said: My intention is that when I come to the mosque, my coming, and when I return to my house, my returning, both be recorded. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah the Exalted has granted you all of that. He said: The reward you were hoping for, Allah the Exalted has granted it all to you.
