حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أُبَيٍّ قَالَ كَانَ ابْنُ عَمٍّ لِي شَاسِعَ الدَّارِ فَقُلْتُ لَوْ أَنَّكَ اتَّخَذْتَ حِمَارًا أَوْ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ بَيْتِي مُطَنَّبٌ بِبَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَمَا سَمِعْتُ عَنْهُ كَلِمَةً أَكْرَهَ إِلَيَّ مِنْهَا قَالَ فَإِذَا هُوَ يَذْكُرُ الْخُطَا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَسَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ دَرَجَةً حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ أَخْبَرَنَا عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَنِي أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَا إِنَّ لَكَ مَا احْتَسَبْتَ.

Sufyan narrated to us, from Asim, from Abu Uthman, from Ubayy, who said: I had a cousin whose house was distant, so I said to him, "If only you would get yourself a donkey or something." He said: "It would not please me for my house to be pitched right next to the house of Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him." He said: I had never heard a word from him more disagreeable to me than that. He said: Then he happened to mention the steps to the mosque, and he asked the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, about it, and he said: "Indeed, for every step there is a degree of reward for him." Ali ibn Ishaq narrated to us: Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak narrated to us: Asim al-Ahwal informed us, from Abu Uthman: Ubayy ibn Ka'b narrated to me, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, you shall have what you sought reward for."
