حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَتَحَوَّلُوا مِنْ مَنَازِلِهِمْ فَيَسْكُنُوا قُرْبَ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَكَرِهَ أَنْ تُعْرَى الْمَدِينَةُ، فَقَالَ: «يَا بَنِي سَلِمَةَ، أَلَا تَحْتَسِبُونَ آثَارَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ؟» قَالُوا: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. فَأَقَامُوا.
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Banū Salamah intended to relocate from their houses and settle near the mosque. News of this reached the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ and he disliked the idea of the outskirts of Madinah being left deserted, so he said to them: “O Banū Salamah, do you not expect reward from Allah for every step you take to the mosque?” They said, “Yes indeed, O Messenger of Allah.” So they remained where they were.
