Hadith #173
Arabic Text
مَضْرُوبٌ عَلَيْهِ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَتَحَوَّلُوا مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ إِلَى قُرْبِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَكَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُعْرَى الْمَسْجِدُ فَ
قَالَ يَا بَنِي سَلِمَةَ أَلَا تَحْتَسِبُونَ آثَارَكُمْ فَأَقَامُوا قَالَ أَبِي أَخْطَأَ فِيهِ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ أَنْ يُعْرُوا الْمَدِينَةَ فَقَالَ يَحْيَى الْمَسْجِدَ وَضَرَبَ عَلَيْهِ أَبِي هَاهُنَا وَقَدْ حَدَّثَنَا بِهِ فِي كِتَابِ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ

English Translation
It is struck out [marked as deleted in the manuscript]. Yahya narrated to us, from Humayd, from Anas (رضي الله عنه) that Banu Salimah wanted to move from their homes to near the mosque. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked that the mosque's surroundings would become empty. He said: 'O Banu Salimah, do you not consider that your footsteps are recorded?' So they stayed in their homes.
