\n\n \nYahya related to me from Malik from Nuaym ibn Abdullah al-Madani\nal-Mujmir that he heard Abu Hurayra say, "If someone does wudu and\ndoes it correctly and then goes off intending to do the prayer, then\nhe is in prayer as long as he intends to do the prayer. A good action\nis written for every alternate step he makes and a wrong action is\nerased for the second. When you hear the iqama do not lengthen your\nstride, and the one who has the greatest reward is the one whose house\nis farthest away." They said, "Why, Abu Hurayra?" He replied, "Because\nof the greater number of steps."\n\n

\nوَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمَدَنِيِّ الْمُجْمِرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ وُضُوءَهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ عَامِدًا إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ فَإِنَّهُ فِي صَلاَةٍ مَادَامَ يَعْمِدُ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ وَإِنَّهُ يُكْتَبُ لَهُ بِإِحْدَى خُطْوَتَيْهِ حَسَنَةٌ وَيُمْحَى عَنْهُ بِالأُخْرَى سَيِّئَةٌ فَإِذَا سَمِعَ أَحَدُكُمُ الإِقَامَةَ فَلاَ يَسْعَ فَإِنَّ أَعْظَمَكُمْ أَجْرًا أَبْعَدُكُمْ دَارًا ‏.‏ قَالُوا لِمَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ مِنْ أَجْلِ كَثْرَةِ الْخُطَا ‏.‏
