323. Abū Sa‘eed Al-Khudrī narrated: “A man from Banū Khudrah and a man from Banū ‘Amr bin ‘Awf were disputing about the Masjid that was founded
upon Taqwā.[1] The man from Banū Khudrah said: 'It is the Masjid of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ.' The other one said that it was Masjid Qubā'. So they went to ask Allāh's Messenger ﷺ about that. He ﷺ said: 'It is this' – meaning his Masjid – 'and in that one (Masjid Qubā') there is much good.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
[He said:] Abū Bakr narrated to us, from 'Alī bin 'Abdullāh who said: "I asked Yahya bin Sa'eed about Muḥammad bin Abī Yahya Al-Aslamī. He said: He is tolerable his brother Unais bin Abī Yahya, (a narrator in the chain of this Ḥadīth) is more reliable than he is."

Commentary
It looked from the argument and differences of both Companions that the true interpretation of the mosque built on the basis of Allāh's fear is only Masjid Qubā', not the mosque of Prophet ﷺ; but he ﷺ answered very wisely that although the Qur'anic Verse was revealed about the Mosque Qubā, yet it doubtlessly includes the Mosque of the Prophet ﷺ.
