[Machine] We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we asked him, "Which is better, the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ or the mosque of Bayt al-Maqdis?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ responded, "Prayer in my mosque here is better than praying there four times. How excellent of a mosque it is! Soon, a time will come when a man will not have anything of his property that is the size of a horse's bridle from this land, where he can see Bayt al-Maqdis, which will be better for him than the whole world."
