Sahih Muslim 1396 (Book 15, Hadith 587) #10521
The Superiority of Praying in the Mosque of the Prophet

SUMMARY: Prayer in the mosque of the Prophet Muhammad is better than a thousand prayers in any other mosque except for the Ka'ba.

Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported that a woman fell ill and she said: In case Allah cures me I will certainly go and observe prayer in Bait al-Maqdis. She recovered and so she made preparations to go out (to that place). She came to Maimuna. the wife of Allah's Apostle . and after greeting her she informed her about it, whereupon she said: Stay here. and eat the provision (which you had made) and observe prayer In the mosque of the Messenger . for I heard Allah's Messenger say: Prayer In it is better than a thousand prayers observed in other mosques except the mosque of the Ka'ba.
وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، - قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، - عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ امْرَأَةً اشْتَكَتْ شَكْوَى فَقَالَتْ إِنْ شَفَانِي اللَّهُ لأَخْرُجَنَّ فَلأُصَلِّيَنَّ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ ‏.‏ فَبَرَأَتْ ثُمَّ تَجَهَّزَتْ تُرِيدُ الْخُرُوجَ فَجَاءَتْ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ تُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهَا فَأَخْبَرَتْهَا ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتِ اجْلِسِي فَكُلِي مَا صَنَعْتِ وَصَلِّي فِي مَسْجِدِ الرَّسُولِ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ صَلاَةٌ فِيهِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفِ صَلاَةٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ مِنَ الْمَسَاجِدِ إِلاَّ مَسْجِدَ الْكَعْبَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance and superiority of praying in the mosque of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. It was narrated by Ibn Abbas and Maimuna, wife of Allah's Apostle that a woman fell ill and promised to go pray at Bait al-Maqdis if she recovered. When she did recover, Maimuna advised her to stay put and pray at the mosque of Allah's Messenger instead because it was better than a thousand prayers observed elsewhere except for Ka'ba. This hadith teaches us that prayer is an important part of our faith as Muslims and that we should strive to make it a priority even when we are travelling or away from home. We should also remember that praying at certain mosques can be more rewarding than others due to their spiritual significance such as Masjid Al Haram or Masjid An Nabawi which are both located in Saudi Arabia.
