Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) used to visit Quba, either mounted or on foot and would offer two Rak`ah prayer in the mosque there.[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. Another narration is: The Prophet (PBUH) used to visit the mosque at Quba every Saturday (i.e., every week) either mounted or on foot, and Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) used to do the same thing. Commentary: 1.Quba' was a village about two miles away from Al-Madinah. Now, it is a part of the city. According to a Hadith, the Prophet (PBUH) has regarded the performance of one Salat there equal to an `Umrah. (At-Tirmidhi, Al-Jami` As-Saghir). 2. This Hadith also shows the passion which Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) had for following the Sunnah for which he is well-reputed. |
