عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه: أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «صلاة في مسجدي هذا خير من ألف صلاة فيما سواه إلا المسجد الحرام».
[صحيح] - [متفق عليه]

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A prayer in this mosque of mine is better than a thousand prayers anywhere else, except for the Sacred Mosque."
Sahih/Authentic. - [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) informs in this Hadīth that a prayer in his mosque is better and more meritorious than a thousand prayers performed anywhere else, except for the Sacred Mosque in Makkah, where prayer is better than a hundred thousand prayers offered in any other mosque, as related in other Hadīths. This points out the merit of the Sacred Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque and that prayers performed therein entail greater rewards than prayers performed elsewhere.
