Brief Explanation
1؎: That is, one should not undertake a journey with the intention of reward except to these three mosques only. By this, any fourth mosque and all other mosques and graves are excluded, to the extent that even traveling with the intention of visiting the Prophet’s (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) grave is not permissible. However, if one travels to Madinah with the intention of visiting the Prophet’s Mosque (Masjid Nabawi), then the legislated visitation (ziyarah) of the Prophet’s (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) grave is permissible.
