It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: The area between my house and my pulpit is one of the gardens of Paradise, and my pulpit will be set up over my cistern on the Day of Resurrection. And the reward for offering prayer in this mosque of mine is like offering a thousand prayers in all other mosques except Masjid al-Haram.
