Riyad as-Salihin 1055 (Book 8, Hadith 65) #37544
Rewarded for Dedication to Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man of the Ansar who was dedicated to attending congregational prayers, even though his house was far from the mosque. The Prophet (ﷺ) praised him for his dedication and said that Allah has recorded all of his efforts.

Ubayy bin Ka'b (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: There was a man of the Ansar whose house was the farthest from the mosque. As far as I know, he never missed Salat (in congregation). It was said to him: "If you buy a donkey, you may ride upon it in the dark nights and in the hot days". He said: "I do not like that my house should be situated close to the mosque. I desire that my walking towards the mosque and returning home be recorded to my credit". Upon this the Messenger of Allah said, "Allah has gathered all (rewards) for you". Muslim.
-وعن أبي بن كعب رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ كان رجل من الأنصار لا أعلم أحدًا أبعد من المسجد منه، وكانت لا تخطئه صلاة‏!‏ فقيل له‏:‏ لو اشتريت حمارًا تركبه في الظلماء وفي الرمضاء قال‏:‏ ما يسرني أن منزلي إلى جنب المسجد إني أريد أن يكتب لي ممشاي إلى المسجد، ورجوعي إذا رجعت إلى أهلي، فقال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏ "‏قد جمع الله لك ذلك كله‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
