Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ، وَعُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، سَلْمَانَ الأَغَرِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " صَلاَةٌ فِي مَسْجِدِي هَذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ صَلاَةٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ إِلاَّ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ " .
Translation
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Rabah and Ubaydullahibn Abi Abdullah Salman al-Agharr from Abu Hurayra that the Messengerof Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A prayer inthis mosque of mine is better than a thousand prayers in any othermosque, except the Masjid al-Haram (in Makka)."
