Hadith # 374
Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) used to visit Quba', either mounted or on foot and would offer two Rak'ah prayer in the mosque there. Another narration is: The Prophet (PBUH) used to visit the mosque at Quba' every Saturday (i.e., every week) either mounted or on foot, and Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) used to do the same thing.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
Commentary
1.Quba' was a village about two miles away from Al-Madinah. Now, it is a part of the city. According to a Hadith, the Prophet (PBUH) has regarded the performance of one Salat there equal to an 'Umrah. (At-Tirmidhi, Al-Jami' As-Saghir). 2. This Hadith also shows the passion which Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) had for following the Sunnah for which he is well-reputed.
