As proof the Prophetic saying is quoted which says, "One prayer in the Sacred Mosque, is better than a hundred prayers in my Mosque."
"The prayer in the Mosque of Mecca is better than 100,000 prayers in other mosques."
There is no difference in opinion that the position of the tomb of the Prophet is better than any other part of the earth. The Prophet said, "Between my house and my pulpit is a Garden of the Gardens of Paradise." His house mentioned in the hadith is where he lived and also where he is buried, which is the room of Lady Ayesha, and it is there that people visit him. In addition to this hadith is the phrase, "His pulpit is by his Pool."
As for "One of Gardens in Paradise", it has been interpreted with two meanings one of which is that it assures the supplication and prayer offered in the Prophetic Garden (Rawdah) - which is the area between the tomb of the Prophet and his pulpit - are subject to that reward, and that this area will be transported by Allah in due course and is actually in Paradise.
Of Medina, Omar's son and several other Companions, report the saying of the Prophet that, "On the Day or Resurrection I will be the witness, and intercede for the person, who has been steadfast in the face of its difficulties and hardship."
As for those who left Medina, the Prophet said, "Medina is better for them if they but knew."
The Prophet also said, "Medina is like a furnace, it casts out what is impure, and leaves what is pure." And, "Allah gives Medina to someone who is better than he who leaves Medina on account of his aversion (to it)."
Omar's son reported the Prophet saying, "Whosoever can die in Medina should do so, because I will intercede for all who die in it."
Allah says, "The first House ever to be built for people was that of Bakkah (Mecca), blessed and a guidance for the worlds. In it, there are clear signs; the station where Abraham stood. Whosoever enters it let him be safe….. " (3:96-97) . A scholar said The word 'safe' means safety from Hell. It also includes a sanctuary from those who pursue, and this is as the verse, "And when We made the House (Ka'bah) a visitation and a sanctuary for the people (saying) 'Make the place where Abraham stood a place of prayer. 'And We made a covenant with Abraham and Ishmael, 'Purify My House for those who circumambulate around it, and those who cleave to it, to those who bow and prostrate" (2:125)
