Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: We were discussing, while we were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), (the topic being) which of the two (mosques) is more excellent: the Prophet's Mosque or Bayt al-Maqdis? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "One prayer offered in this mosque of mine is more excellent than four prayers offered in that place, and it is an excellent place of prayer. Soon a time will come when a piece of land the size of a man's bow, from where Bayt al-Maqdis can be seen, will be better for him than the whole world."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
