حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ، ثنا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ، ثنا ثَوْرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: >مَنْ ‌غَدَا ‌إِلَى ‌الْمَسْجِدِ ‌لَا ‌يُرِيدُ ‌إِلَّا ‌أَنْ ‌يَتَعَلَّمَ ‌خَيْرًا ‌أَوْ ‌يُعَلِّمَهُ ‌كَانَ ‌لَهُ ‌كَأَجْرِ ‌حَاجٍّ، ‌تَامًّا ‌حَجَّتَهُ<

Translation

Ḥadīth [7473]: It is narrated on the authority of Abū Umāmah [d. 86H] (may Allāh be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said: “Whoever goes to the masjid, not intending by it except to learn good (i.e., religious knowledge) or to teach it, for him is the likeness of the reward of the pilgrim, (reward equal to) his complete pilgrimage.”

Translated by Muḥammad ‘Imrān (Jeddah)
