Chapter. The mosques which are on the way to Al-Madina and the places where the Prophet ﷺ had offered Salat (prayers).
Sahih Bukhari 485 — The mosques which are on the way to Al-Madina
وَأَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى حَيْثُ الْمَسْجِدُ الصَّغِيرُ الَّذِي دُونَ الْمَسْجِدِ الَّذِي بِشَرَفِ الرَّوْحَاءِ ، وَقَدْ كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْلَمُ الْمَكَانَ الَّذِي كَانَ صَلَّى فِيهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : ثَمَّ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ تُصَلِّي ، وَذَلِكَ الْمَسْجِدُ عَلَى حَافَةِ الطَّرِيقِ الْيُمْنَى وَأَنْتَ ذَاهِبٌ إِلَى مَكَّةَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَكْبَرِ رَمْيَةٌ بِحَجَرٍ أَوْ نَحْوُ ذَلِكَ .
`Abdullah bin `Umar also told (Nafi`) that the Prophet prayed at the place where the small mosque now stands, short of the mosque at Sharaf Ar-Rawha'. `Abdullah knew the place where the Prophet had prayed and used to say, "It is there, on your right, when you stand to pray in the mosque." That mosque is on the right edge of the road as you go to Mecca, and the distance between it and the big mosque is a stone's throw or so.

Hadith Commentary:
Second Station:
The second station is mentioned by the name of Sharaf al-Rawha.
When traveling from Madinah Munawwarah to Makkah Mukarramah, the upper part of this settlement is called Sharaf al-Rawha, and the part that comes after leaving the settlement is called Mansarif al-Rawha.
There are two mosques here:
One is for the local people, which is large, and the other is a small mosque.
In this second station, the place where the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) prayed was only one.
Abdullah ibn Umar (radi Allahu anhu) would depart from the place of Rawha after midday had passed, but he would perform the Zuhr prayer upon reaching this place.
Similarly, on the occasion of returning from Makkah Mukarramah, if he passed by here at the end of the night, he would stay here and perform the Fajr prayer at this place.
Both of these mosques remain in Rawha, and the people of this area know them.
According to the statement of Abdullah ibn Umar (radi Allahu anhu), this small mosque was also not built on the exact place where the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) prayed.
