The virtue of the three mosques over the others

Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people believe that praying in some mosques is better than praying in the two sacred mosques. Is this correct?

Answer:
I seek refuge in Allah. This is the best? May Allah protect us from that. Is there anything better than the three mosques? The Sacred Mosque, the Prophet’s Mosque, and Al-Aqsa Mosque, in this order. The best of them is the Sacred Mosque. There is no mosque on earth better than the Sacred Mosque, and prayer in it is worth a hundred thousand prayers in any other mosque. Then after it is the Messenger’s Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him), where prayer is worth a thousand prayers in any other mosque. Then after it is Al-Aqsa Mosque, where prayer is worth five hundred prayers in any other mosque. No other mosque is preferred over these mosques.
Quba Mosque is one that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to visit and pray in, but it does not equal the three mosques. It has virtue, but it does not equal the three mosques. As for the mosques other than these three and Quba Mosque, all mosques are equal. There is no virtue for one over another; they are all equal. Yes.
