1406. It was narrated from Jābir that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "One prayer in my mosque is better than one thousand prayers elsewhere, except the Sacred Mosque, and one prayer in the Sacred Mosque is better than one hundred thousand prayers elsewhere." (Sahih)
1406 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «صَلَاةٌ فِي مَسْجِدِي أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفِ صَلَاةٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ إِلَّا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ وَصَلَاةٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ مِائَةِ أَلْفِ صَلَاةٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ»

Performing prayer at the Prophet's Mosque is not equal but better in reward than offering one thousand prayers. Similarly, offering prayer at the Sacred Mosque is not equal but more in reward than offering one hundred thousand prayer. Nevertheless, depending on the degree of humility and submissiveness in prayer, it is possible that one obtain an increase or decrease in his reward.
