Sayyidah Umm Humayd, the wife of Sayyiduna Abu Humayd Sa’idi (may Allah be pleased with him), came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Indeed, I love to pray with you. He said: I know that you love to pray with me, but your praying in your (private) chamber is better than your praying in your (general) room, and your praying in your (general) room is better than your praying in your house’s courtyard, and your praying in your house’s courtyard is better than your praying in your people’s mosque, and your praying in your people’s mosque is better than your praying in my this (Prophet’s) mosque. Then that woman ordered and a mosque was built for her in the farthest and darkest corner of her house, and she used to pray there until she met Allah Almighty.
