My father and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn Aḥmad ibn Walīd both narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan Al-Saffār, from Aḥmad ibn Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Faďďāl, from ‘Amr ibn Sa’īd, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from ‘Ammār ibn Mūsā Al-Sābāťi, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)), “Is praying in the Mosque of the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) the same as praying anywhere else in Madīnah?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “No.

One Salāt (prayer) in the Mosque of the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) is equal to one thousand prayers elsewhere. However, praying anywhere else in Madīnah is just like praying in any other city.”
