Sahih Muslim 665a (Book 5, Hadith 352) #8663
Staying Home and Being Mindful

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad advised Banu Salama to stay in their homes and be mindful of their actions as they are being recorded.

Jabir b. Abdullah reported: There were some plots vacant around the mosque. Banu Salama decided to shift (to this land) and come near the mosque. This (news) reached the Messenger of Allah and he said to them (Banu Salama): I have received (information) that you intend to shift near the mosque. They said: Yes, Messenger of Allah, we have taken this decision. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: O Banu Salama, live in your houses, for your steps are recorded; live in your houses, for your steps are recorded.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ خَلَتِ الْبِقَاعُ حَوْلَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَرَادَ بَنُو سَلِمَةَ أَنْ يَنْتَقِلُوا إِلَى قُرْبِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ ‏"‏ إِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكُمْ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَنْتَقِلُوا قُرْبَ الْمَسْجِدِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ أَرَدْنَا ذَلِكَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا بَنِي سَلِمَةَ دِيَارَكُمْ تُكْتَبْ آثَارُكُمْ دِيَارَكُمْ تُكْتَبْ آثَارُكُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith reported by Jabir b. Abdullah speaks of the Prophet Muhammad's advice to the people of Banu Salama when they decided to move closer to the mosque. He warned them that their steps were being recorded and advised them to stay in their homes instead. This hadith teaches us about mindfulness - that we should always be aware of our actions as they are being watched by a higher power and will have consequences for us later on. It also teaches us about respect for places of worship - that we should not try to get too close or disturb those who are praying or worshipping there. Finally, it reminds us that our homes are important places where we can find peace and solace from the outside world; it is important for us to take care of our homes and make sure they remain safe havens for ourselves and our families.
