Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "Do not undertake a journey except to three mosques: (1) Al-Masjid al-Haram (i.e., the Ka'bah), (2) the Prophet's Mosque, (3) Al-Masjid al-Aqsa (i.e., Bayt al-Maqdis)."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Offering one prayer in my mosque is better than offering a thousand prayers in other mosques, except for Masjid al-Haram (for the reward of praying there is greater)."
