1 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْفَضَّالِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مُوسَى السَّابَاطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي مَسْجِدِ الرَّسُولِ (ص) هِيَ مِثْلُ الصَّلَاةِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ (ع) لَا لِأَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ فِي مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (ص) بِأَلْفِ صَلَاةٍ وَ الصَّلَاةَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِثْلُ الصَّلَاةِ فِي سَائِرِ الْأَمْصَارِ

1. My father and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn Aḥmad ibn Walīd both narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan Al-Saffār, from Aḥmad ibn Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Faďďāl, from ‘Amr ibn Sa’īd, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from ‘Ammār ibn Mūsā Al-Sābāťi, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq ), “Is praying in the Mosque of the Prophet ﷺ the same as praying anywhere else in Madīnah?” Imam replied, “No. One Salāt (prayer) in the Mosque of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ is equal to one thousand prayers elsewhere. However, praying anywhere else in Madīnah is just like praying in any other city.”
