Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #460
Extravagance in Building
Thabit reported that he was with Anas in a corner above one of
his rooms. He said, "We heard the adhan and he came down and I came down
as well. He took short stops and said, 'I was with Zayd ibn Thabit and
I walked with him in this fashion. He said, "Do you know why I did it to
you? The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, walked in this
manner and he said, 'Do you know why I walked with you?' I replied, 'Allah
and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'So that there would be a greater
number of steps in search of the prayer.'"'"
