Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) bade farewell to a man and asked him: "Where do you intend to go?" He said: "I intend to go to Bayt al-Maqdis." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "One prayer offered in this mosque of mine is more excellent than a hundred prayers offered anywhere else, except that the case of al-Masjid al-Haram is different."
Imam Abu Ya'la recorded this, and Imam al-Bazzar recorded something similar, except that he recorded the words: "more excellent than a thousand prayers." The narrators of Imam Abu Ya'la are the narrators of the Sahih.
