1Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “A prayer performed in this mosque, Masjid an-Nabawi, is like a thousand prayers performed in other mosques apart from Masjid al-Haram.” A person attains Thawab of a thousand prayers when he performs it in Masjid an-Nabawi of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. “Fasting the month of in Ramadan in Madinah is like a thousand months fasted in other places. Jum’ah prayer performed in Madinah is like a thousand Jum’ah prayers performed in other places.” Everything is a thousand fold there for the honor of our Holy Prophet ﷺ.

2Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “A prayer performed in Masjid al-Haram, Ka’bah, is like a hundred thousand prayers. A prayer performed in my mosque brings Thawab of a thousand prayers. A prayer performed in Bayt ul-Maqdis, Masjid al-Aqsa, is equivalent to five hundred prayers.” They have a lot of value and Thawab.

3Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “A prayer performed in Masjid ul-Quba is like performing ‘Umrah.” Masjid Quba is a mosque in Madinah. A person attains Thawab of ‘Umrah when he prays there.

4Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “A prayer performed in Masjid al-Haram is like a hundred thousand prayers. A prayer performed in my mosque is like a thousand prayers. A prayer performed in Bayt ul-Maqdis is equivalent to five hundred prayers.” They have so much Thawab.

5Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “A prayer performed in Masjid al-Haram equals to hundred thousand prayers. A prayer performed in my mosque equals to ten thousand prayers.” It is a thousand and ten thousand for the honor of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. “A prayer performed in a place of duty is equivalent to a thousand prayers.” means the border. A prayer performed at the border with enemies is like a thousand prayers.

6Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “A prayer performed in my mosque, Masjid an-Nabawi, is a thousand times superior over prayers performed in different places other than Masjid al-Haram. Jum’ah prayer performed in this mosque is a thousand times superior over prayers performed in different places others than Masjid al-Haram. The fasting of Ramadan in this mosque is a thousand times superior over the fasting of Ramadan performed in other places other than Masjid al-Haram.”

7Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “A prayer performed in Masjid al-Haram is superior over hundred thousand prayers performed in other mosques. A prayer performed in my mosque is superior over a thousand prayers performed in other mosques. A prayer performed in Bayt ul-Maqdis, in Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem is superior over five hundred prayers performed in other mosques.”

8Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “If the width of this mosque is expanded until Sanaa, it is still my mosque.” The building of Masjid an-Nabawi; this is important; Sanaa means it is until Yemen. There is over 1,000 km between them, or more. If the mosque is until there, it is still counted as his ﷺ mosque. Therefore, [you should not pray] outside the mosque. Many pilgrims go there and pray in hotels. They say to themselves that it is the same. It is not the same. It must be inside the mosque. It can be anywhere in the mosque but inside Masjid

an-Nabawi. Otherwise, there are many other mosques around it. But they are not counted.

9Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “Whoever cannot go to Bayt ul-Maqdis to perform a prayer should send olive oil there to be used for lighting.” In old times, they used olive oil in the lighting of Masjid ul-Aqsa. This method is going on. They send olive oil to Masjid al-Aqsa or send payment for it which they use in charity for Muslims.

10-Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “You must travel only for three mosques. They are Masjid al-Haram, my ﷺ mosque and Masjid al-Aqsa.”

Sadaqa RasuluLlah fi ma qal, aw kama qal. The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ says the truth in what he ﷺ said or as he ﷺ said.
