Masjid Al Quba in Madeenah Munawwarah.

The first masjid that was built by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was the masjid of Quba’ in Madeenah al-Munawwarah.

It was narrated that Sahl ibn Haneef said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever goes out until he comes to this mosque – meaning the Mosque of Quba’ – and prays there, that will be equivalent to ‘Umrah.”

-- Narrated by Ahmad, 3/437; al-Nasaa’i, 699; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, 1180, 1181.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) also said, “Whoever purifies himself in his house then comes to the masjid of Quba’ and prays there, he will have a reward like that for ‘Umrah.”

(Narrated by Ahmad, al-Nasaa’i, Ibn Maajah and al-Haakim. Al-Haakim classed it as saheeh and al-Dhahabi agreed with him. Also classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 6154)

Al-Bukhaari (1193) and Muslim (1399) narrated that Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to go to the masjid of Quba’ every Saturday, walking or riding.
