1380. Muḥammad bin Ibrāhīm reported from Ibn 'Abdullāh bin Unais Al-Juhānī, from his father, who said: "O Messenger of Allāh! I have (a place) in the desert that I am at, and I pray there, by the grace of Allāh. So command me one night on which I should return here to the Masjid." He said: "Come on the night of the twenty-third." So I said to his son: "What did your father used to do?" The son replied: "He would enter the Masjid after praying Asr, and not leave it for any reason until he prayed Subh. So after he had prayed Subh, he would find his mount at the door of the Masjid, and ride it until he arrived at his place in the desert." (Hasan)

Arabic text

1380 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ لِي بَادِيَةً أَكُونُ فِيهَا، وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي فِيهَا بِحَمْدِ اللَّهِ، فَمُرْنِي بِلَيْلَةٍ أَنْزِلُهَا إِلَى هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَالَ: «انْزِلْ لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ»، فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِهِ: كَيْفَ كَانَ أَبُوكَ يَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ: «كَانَ يَدْخُلُ الْمَسْجِدَ إِذَا صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ، فَلَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ لِحَاجَةٍ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ الصُّبْحَ، فَإِذَا صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ وَجَدَ دَابَّتَهُ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهَا فَلَحِقَ بِبَادِيَتِهِ»

Commentary

There are only three Masjids in the world for which one may make a journey, with the intent to worship there for a higher reward. These are: Masjid Al-Haram in Makkah, the Prophet's Masjid in Al-Madinah, and Masjid Al-Aqsa in Jerusalem.
