It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunayf, from his father, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever goes out with the intention of coming to this mosque, that is, the Mosque of Quba', and prays in it, will receive a reward equal to that of an Umrah." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Amir bin Sa'd and Aishah bint Sa'd that they heard Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) say: "Praying in the Mosque of Quba' is more beloved to me than praying in the mosque of Bayt al-Maqdis." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I was present on the day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Madinah, and I have never seen a day more beautiful or more radiant than that day. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went on until he arrived in Madinah. The people came out, until we entered the road, and the women, servants and children were calling out loudly: "Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has come, the Messenger of Allah has come! Allah is the Greatest! Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has come, the Messenger of Allah has come!" Then, when morning came, he (peace and blessings be upon him) set off and stayed where he (peace and blessings be upon him) had been commanded. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah, the people rushed towards him (peace and blessings be upon him) and it was said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had arrived. I too came with the people to see. When I looked carefully at his (peace and blessings be upon him) face, I recognized that this face could not be the face of a liar. The first thing I heard from him (peace and blessings be upon him) was that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O people! Spread the greeting of salam, feed others, maintain the ties of kinship, and pray at night while people are asleep; you will enter Paradise in peace." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
