It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man from Banu Amr bin Awf and a man from Banu Khudrah differed, or disputed, about the mosque "founded on piety from the first day" [Surah al-Tawbah: 108] . The Awfi said: "It is the Mosque of Quba." The Khudri (Abu Sa'id) said: "It is the mosque of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (the Prophet's Mosque)." So they both came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him about it, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is this mosque of mine, and in that (the Mosque of Quba) too there is much good." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it; and Unays bin Abi Yahya, unlike his brother Ibrahim, is (trustworthy).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Usayd bin Zuhayr al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), who was one of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Offering one prayer in the Mosque of Quba is equal to one Umrah." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs did not record it; however, one of its narrators, Abu al-Abrad, is unknown (majhul).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to go frequently to (the Mosque of) Quba, sometimes on foot and sometimes riding. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it with these words.
