Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I move on to questions sent by Umm Muhammad from al-Madinah al-Munawwarah. She asks: Which is better, prayer in Madinah or prayer in Makkah?

Answer:
It is better by the same hadith. Prayer in this mosque in Madinah is better than a thousand prayers in any other mosque, except the Sacred Mosque.
a thousand prayers anywhere else, except Al-Masjid Al-Haramمن ألف صلاة فيما سواه من المساجد إلا المسجد الحرام
Sunan an-Nasa'i 2897Sahih (Darussalam)
,
And prayer in the Sacred Mosque is better than a hundred thousand prayers in any other placeوصلاة في المسجد الحرام خير من مائة ألف صلاة فيما سواه
Sunan al-Bayhaqi 4:1575
, What is the difference between a hundred thousand and a thousand? The difference is great.
