Hadith #575

Arabic Text

English Translation

It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via 'Abd al-Razzaq, from Ibn Jurayj, from 'Ata', from Abu Salama ibn 'Abd al-Rahman — that Abu Hurayra or 'A'isha said: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "A prayer in my mosque is better than a thousand prayers in any other mosque — except al-Masjid al-Aqsa."' [Also narrated via 'Ali ibn Ishaq → 'Abdillah → Ibn Jurayj → 'Ata' → Abu Salama → Abu Hurayra AND 'A'isha — both named without doubt. Note: this variant says al-Masjid al-Aqsa instead of al-Masjid al-Haram, which is a variant transmission of the same text.]
