حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ سَلَامٍ أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَزَارِيُّ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَرَادَ بَنُو سَلِمَةَ أَنْ يَتَحَوَّلُوا إِلَی قُرْبِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَکَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تُعْرَی الْمَدِينَةُ وَقَالَ يَا بَنِي سَلِمَةَ أَلَا تَحْتَسِبُونَ آثَارَکُمْ فَأَقَامُوا
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 1887
Narrated Anas: (The people of) Bani Salama intended to shift near the mosque (of the Prophet) but Allah's Apostle disliked to see Medina vacated and said, "O the people of Bani Salama! Don't you think that you will be rewarded for your footsteps which you take towards the mosque?" So, they stayed at their old places.
