Commentary
It is reported in Sahih Muslim from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri ﷺ that when he enquired the Prophet ﷺ about the mosque referred to in the Qur'anic Verse, he answered that it was the one known as the Prophet's Mosque (Muslim: 3221). Nevertheless even the Qubâ' Mosque was founded by the Prophet ﷺ himself. As such this one can also be described as the 'mosque founded on piety'.
