حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ هَارُونَ، نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، نَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ:
تَذَاكَرْنَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَيُّمَا أَفْضَلُ: مَسْجِدُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، أَوْ مَسْجِدُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: صَلَاةٌ فِي مَسْجِدِي أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَرْبَعِ صَلَوَاتٍ فِيهِ، وَلَنِعْمَ الْمُصَلَّى، وَلَيُوشِكَنَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِلرَّجُلِ مِثْلُ سِيَةِ قَوْسِهِ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ حَيْثُ يَرَى بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ خَيْرًا لَهُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا

✧ We discussed in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ which is better: the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ or the mosque of Jerusalem. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'A prayer in my mosque is better than four prayers in it, and it is an excellent place of prayer. Soon a man will have a piece of land the size of a bow's end from where he can see Jerusalem, and that will be better for him than the world and all it contains.'
