1017. It was narrated that 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came to the mosque at Qubā' and performed prayer there. Some men of the Ansār came and greeted him. I asked Suhaib, who was with him: 'How did the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ respond to them?' He said: 'He gestured with his hand.'" (Sahih)
1017 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الطَّنَافِسِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: أَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَسْجِدَ قُبَاءَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ، فَجَاءَتْ رِجَالٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَيْهِ، فَسَأَلْتُ صُهَيْبًا، وَكَانَ مَعَهُ: كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ؟ قَالَ: «كَانَ يُشِيرُ بِيَدِهِ»

a. It is Sunnah to visit the mosque at Qubā' with sincere intention, and to offer prayer there. However, while traveling from another place to Al-Madinah one should only make the intention to visit the Prophet's Mosque there. b. Once inside Al-Madinah, we may visit the mosque at Qubā' and any other mosque. c. Gesturing in case of need by the worshiper does not invalidate the prayer.
