Is prayer in the Rawdah better than prayer in the rest of the Prophet's Mosque?

Question : Prayer in the Rawdah is better than in other places, meaning according to the text?

Answer : It is better than in other places, except in congregational prayer, where the first row is better than it. In congregational prayer, the first row is better than the Rawdah, because when the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) entered the mosque and it was expanded, they would pray in the first row and would not specifically seek out the Rawdah.
