281. It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'When anyone of you performs ablution and does it well, then he comes to the mosque for no other purpose than prayer, he does not take one step but Allâh will raise him one degree (in status) thereby, and remove one sin from him thereby, until he enters the mosque.'"۱ (Sahih)
281 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ، فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ، ثُمَّ أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ، لَا يَنْهَزُهُ إِلَّا الصَّلَاةُ، لَمْ يَخْطُ خَطْوَةً، إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهَا دَرَجَةً، وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً، حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ الْمَسْجِدَ»

a. Greater reward is promised for those who perform their ablution and do it well. b. Sometimes when a man comes to the mosque, his intention is to meet someone or to do some other necessary work. In addition to that, he also performs his prayer in the mosque. Of course this does not decrease his reward of the prayer, but if his coming out from the house were solely for the purpose of the prayer, his reward would be much more. c. It is much preferable to come to the mosque having performed the ablution at one's home, or shop, or office.
