What is the ruling on going to Quba every Saturday?

The questioner : May Allah preserve you, Shaykh. Regarding worshipping Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) by going to the Quba Mosque every Saturday, whether on foot or sometimes by vehicle, is this prescribed?

The Shaykh : Yes, going to the Quba Mosque in Madinah every Saturday is a recommended practice (sunnah), because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do it, and this is part of his wisdom. For Allah the Exalted said to him: Both the Prophet’s Mosque and the Quba Mosque were founded on piety from the very first day. The Quba Mosque was founded on the first day the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Quba, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed there. The Mosque in Madinah was founded on the first day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah. So both were founded on the very first day. However, there is no doubt that the Prophet’s Mosque is better. For this reason, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) designated Friday for the Prophet’s Mosque and Saturday for the Quba Mosque. If it is easy for you to visit Quba every Saturday, by vehicle or on foot, as is convenient for you, and you leave your house in a state of ritual purity and pray there as much as you wish, then that is good.
