Hadith 12699
عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَقِيَ أَبُو بَصْرَةَ الْغِفَارِيُّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، وَهُوَ جَاءَ مِنَ الطُّورِ، فَقَالَ: مِنْ أَيْنَ أَقْبَلْتَ؟ قَالَ: مِنَ الطُّورِ صَلَّيْتُ فِيهِ، قَالَ: أَمَا لَوْ أَدْرَكْتُكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَرْحَلَ إِلَيْهِ مَا رَحَلْتَ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ”لَا تُشَدُّ الرِّحَالُ إِلَّا إِلَى ثَلَاثَةِ مَسَاجِدَ، الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ، وَمَسْجِدِي هَذَا، وَالْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى.“
It is narrated from Umar bin Abdur Rahman bin Harith that on the return of Abu Basrah Ghifari from Tur, he met Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him). He asked: Where are you coming from? He replied: From Tur, I went there to perform prayer. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If you had met me before departing, you would not have gone there. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Do not saddle mounts, that is, do not make special arrangements for travel, except towards three mosques: Masjid al-Haram, the Prophet’s Mosque, and Masjid al-Aqsa.
Hadith 12700
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ”لَا تُشَدُّ الرِّحَالُ إِلَّا إِلَى ثَلَاثَةِ مَسَاجِدَ، إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ، وَمَسْجِدِي هَذَا، وَالْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: One should not undertake a journey specifically to any place except for three mosques: Masjid al-Haram, Masjid al-Nabawi, and Masjid al-Aqsa.

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مِثْلُهُ
A similar hadith is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him).
