Kutoka kwa Ubayy bin Ka'b (Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake) reported: "There was a man, and I do not know of any other man whose house was farther than his from the mosque, and he never missed Salat (in congregation). It was said to him (or I said to him): "If you buy a donkey you could ride it in the dark nights and in the burning sand." He said: "I do not like my house to be by the side of the mosque, for I (eagerly) desire that my steps towards the mosque and back from it should be recorded when I return to my family." Upon this Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) said, "Allah has granted you all the rewards for you"..Another narration says: "You will get the reward for what you have anticipated"."
