EXCELLENCE OF PRAYERS IN RAUDAH:

Bukhari reported from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “The space between my house and my pulpit is (raudah) one of the gardens of Paradise, and my pulpit is at my Fountain.”  

OFFERING PRAYERS IN THE MOSQUE OF QUBA:

The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to go there, riding or on foot, every Saturday and offer a two rak’ahs prayer.  He advised others to do the same, saying, “Whoever makes ablutions at home and then goes and prays in the Mosque of Quba, he will have a reward like that of an ‘Umrah.”   (Reported by Ahmad, Nasa’i, Ibn Majah, and Al-Hakim, who says it has a sound chain of narration)
