Is the multiplication of reward in the Haram specific to the mosque, or does it include the entire Haram?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Some who hold that the multiplication is specific to al-Masjid al-Haram and not the entire Haram cited the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him):
A mount is not saddled (for a journey) except to three Masajidلا تشد الرحال إلا إلى ثلاثة مساجد.
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 326Sahih (Darussalam)
enters

The Shaykh:
It enters the entire Haram, my brother. Three mosques enter the entire Haram; it is called the mosque, yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, and this gentleman.

The Shaykh:
Pray in a mosque in al-Aziziyah or anywhere else, for it is a hundred thousand times better because it is in the entire Haram, in the Haram, my brother. Yes. Do not be distressed by the Ka'bah mosque, crowding each other and fighting. May Allah expand it. Pray in al-Aziziyah, pray in al-Zahir, pray in any mosque. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when he came for the Farewell Pilgrimage, he stayed, he stayed, where did he stay? In al-Ma'la, in al-Ma'la, close to the Haram. The distance between it and al-Masjid al-Haram was only meters. He did not go to pray in al-Masjid al-Haram; he prayed in his house. He only went to al-Masjid al-Haram to perform 'Umrah, only to perform 'Umrah. Then he returned and stayed in al-Ma'la. This is proof that the entire Haram is equal. Yes.
