Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنْ مَعَافِرَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ يَخْطُوهَا عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ فَإِذَا صَلَّى فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ فِيهِ كَانَ كَالصَّائِمِ الْقَانِتِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Ishaq told us, Ibn Lahi'ah informed us, from a shaykh of Ma'afir, who said: I heard Uqbah ibn Amir al-Juhani say: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: When a man performs ablution and goes to the mosque, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, writes for him ten good deeds for every step he takes; and when he prays in the mosque and then sits there, he is like one fasting and devoted in worship until he returns.
