4ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ لَيْثٍ الْمُرَادِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ قِيلَ لِرَسُولِ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَوْمَ فِطْرٍ أَوْ يَوْمَ أَضْحًى لَوْ صَلَّيْتَ فِي مَسْجِدِكَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لأُحِبُّ أَنْ أَبْرُزَ إِلَى آفَاقِ السَّمَاءِ.

Published English translation

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from al-Mufaddal ibn Salih from Layth al-Muradiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that once it was said to the Messenger of Allah, ‘Would that you perform Salah (prayer) on al-Fitr or al-Adha’ days in your Masjid!’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘I love to come out for the horizons of the sky.’”
