1044. Zaid bin Thabit reported that the Prophet ﷺ said: "A person's prayer in his house is better than his prayer in my Masjid, except for the obligatory prayers." (Sahīh)

Arabic text

1044 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «صَلَاةُ الْمَرْءِ فِي بَيْتِهِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ فِي مَسْجِدِي هَذَا، إِلَّا الْمَكْتُوبَةَ»

Commentary

This instruction is for men, not for women. Women merit better reward if they pray in their houses though, of course, they may pray in the Masjid with others.
