Why did the two Shaykhs in the two Sahih collections (Bukhari and Muslim) refrain from mentioning the narration: "A prayer in al-Masjid al-Haram is equivalent to one hundred thousand prayers in other mosques," and only mentioned the reward for praying in the Prophet's Mosque, even though they were mentioned in the same hadith?
The reason for the two Shaykhs' (Bukhari and Muslim) reluctance to include this hadith in their Sahih collections has not been transmitted, and they did not encompass all authentic hadiths. This hadith is authentic by the consensus of Ibn Abd al-Barr, Ibn Hajar, al-Mundhiri, and al-Albani.
