Hadith 26: (What a Good Place of Prayer it is)
It was narrated that Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We were discussing when we were with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), which is better, the Mosque of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) or the mosque in Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem). The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “One prayer in my mosque is better than four prayers offered there (in Bayt al-Maqdis), and what a good place of prayer it is. [It is the land of the gathering and the resurrection.] Soon there will come a time when, if a man has a piece of land the size of a horse’s rope from which he can see Bayt al-Maqdis, that will be better for him than the whole world.”Semantics:
