"A man from Banu Khudrah and a man from Banu Amr bin Awf were disputing about the Masjid that was founded upon Taqwa. The man from Banu Khudrah said: 'It is the Masjid of Messenger of Allah.' The other one said that it was Masjid Qub. So they went to ask Messenger of Allah about that. He said: 'It is this - meaning his Masjid - 'and in that one (Masjid Quba) there is much good.'"
