Q374 :Masjid-e-Nabvi : Reward for the prayers
offered in
A374 : The prophet has taught us that each prayer
offered in his mosque in Madinah is given the reward of one thousand
prayers elsewhere with the exception of the Grand Mosque in Makkah.
Therefore, if a person is visiting Madinah, he should try to offer as
many of his prayers as possible in the Prophet’s mosque. An often
reported Hadith suggests that offering 40 consecutive prayers in the
Prophet’s mosque is sufficient to redeem any person from hell in the
hereafter. This Hadith lacks considerably in authenticity. It is
certainly better to offer 41 prayers in the Prophet’s mosque than 40.
If you spend ten days instead of eight in Madinah, offering every
single prayer in the Prophet’s mosque, you end up with a greater reward
than if you offer only 40 prayers.
