حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا نَافِعٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةٌ فِي مَسْجِدِي أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفَيْ صَلَاةٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ إِلَّا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4646
It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "One prayer in my mosque is better than a thousand prayers offered anywhere else except al-Masjid al-Haraam."
