On the authority of Ubayy ibn Ka‘b, who said: There was a man—and I know of no one among the people who prayed toward the qiblah, from the people of Madinah, whose house was farther from the mosque than that man—and he never missed a prayer in the mosque. So I said: “Why don’t you buy a donkey to ride in the scorching heat and the darkness?” He said: “I would not like my house to be right next to the mosque.” The report reached the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he asked him about what he had said. He replied: “I intended, O Messenger of Allah, that my going to the mosque and my returning to my family when I return should be recorded for me.” He said: “Allah has given you all of that; Allah has granted you everything you reckoned, all of it together.”(1)

558 — Abu Tawbah narrated to us, al-Haytham ibn Humayd narrated to us, on the authority of Yahya ibn al-Harith, on the authority of al-Qasim Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman, on the authority of Abu Umamah, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Whoever leaves his house purified for an obligatory prayer, his reward is like the reward of the pilgrim in ihram, and whoever goes out for the glorification of the forenoon (duha), which nothing drives him out except it, his reward is like the reward of the one performing ‘umrah. And a prayer following a prayer with no idle talk between them is written in ‘Illiyyin.”(2)
