A prayer in this mosque of mine is better than a thousand prayers anywhere else, except for the Sacred Mosque

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A prayer in this mosque of mine is better than a thousand prayers anywhere else, except for the Sacred Mosque."
Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed out the merit of prayer in his Mosque and that it brings a greater reward than a thousand prayers offered in any other mosque in the world, except for the Sacred Mosque in Makkah, where prayer is better than prayer in his Mosque (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).

Hadeeth benefits

  1. The reward for the prayer offered in the Sacred Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque is multiplied.
  2. Prayer in the Sacred Mosque is better than a hundred thousand prayers offered in other mosques.
