Ibn Abbas (RA) reported that a woman fell ill and she said: In case Allah cures me I will certainly go and observe prayer in Bait al-Maqdis. She recovered and so she made preparations to go out (to that place). She came to Maimuna. the wife of Allahs Apostle ﷺ , and after greeting her she informed her about it, whereupon she said: Stay here and eat the provision (which you had made) and observe prayer in the mosque of the Messenger ﷺ , for I heard Allahs Messenger ﷺ say: Prayer in it is better than a thousand prayers observed in other mosques except the mosque of the Ka’bah.
