Clarification that the multiplied reward for prayer in Makkah is specific to the Mosque of the Ka'bah and not to any other mosque.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : For this reason, if a man prays in al-Masjid al-Haram, the mosque that contains the Ka'bah, his prayer is equivalent to one hundred thousand prayers. However, if he prays in the other mosques in Makkah, he does not obtain this virtue. But prayer in the mosques of Makkah is better than prayer in the mosques of al-Hal or in the mosques of other lands. This is because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) explicitly stated, as narrated by Muslim in the hadith of Maymunah, the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he said:
A prayer in this mosque of mine is better than a thousand prayers in any other mosque, except the Mosque of the Ka'bah. صلاة في مسجدي هذا أفضل من ألف صلاة فيما سواه إلا مسجد الكعبة
Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq 12:1026
This is how it came in Sahih Muslim.
It is known that the mosques in Makkah are not the Mosque of the Ka'bah. The Mosque of the Ka'bah is a single mosque, which is the one that contains the Ka'bah. And because Allah the Exalted said in His Book:
Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa سبحان الذي أسرى بعبده ليلا من المسجد الحرام إلى المسجد الأقصى
[Al-Isra 17:1]
It is also known, as in Sahih al-Bukhari and others, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was taken in the Night Journey from this mosque, from al-Hijr, which is the walled area to the north of the Ka'bah, and it is well known.
