Virtue of Masjid Quba
The first mosque that was built by the Prophet (PBUH) was the mosque of Quba’ in Madeenah al-Munawwarah.
Ibn al-Qayyim(may Allaah have mercy on him) said in Zaad al-Ma’aad (3/58), when describing the arrival of the Messenger (PBUH) in Madeenah:
The Muslims said takbeer, rejoicing at his arrival, and they went out to meet him… He continued until he stopped in Quba’, among Banu ‘Amr ibn ‘Awf, and he stayed among them for fourteen days, and founded the mosque of Quba’, which is the first mosque to be established after the beginning of his Prophethood.
The great scholar Muhammad al-Ameen al-Shanqeeti (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
With regard to the order of building, al-Masjid al-Haraam was the first mosque to be built for mankind. The mosque of Quba’ was the first mosque built by the Muslims. Al-Masjid al-Haraam was built by Ibraaheem and the mosque of Quba’ was built by the Seal of the Messengers. The site of al-Masjid al-Haraam was chosen by Allaah and something similar may be said about the site of the mosque of Quba’.

It is located south of Madeenah (Saudi Arabia), but its structure is recent and there is no trace of the first structure.
Quran
Allah encouraged His Prophet to pray in Masjid Quba’ which, from the first day, was built on Taqwa, obedience to Allah and His Messenger , for gathering the word of the believers and as an outpost and a fort for Islam and its people. This is why Allah the Exalted said,
"Verily, the Masjid whose foundation was laid from the first day on Taqwa is more worthy that you stand therein (to pray).) -
in reference to the Masjid of Quba’.
(Quran Surah Taubah 9:108)

Hadith
An authentic Hadith records that “The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: ‘Whoever purifies himself in his house, then comes to the Quba’ Mosque and offers one prayer therein, will have a reward like that for ‘Umrah.”Sunan Ibn Majah 1476, 1477 and Jami` at-Tirmidhi 324
It is recorded in the Sahih that the Messenger of Allah ﷺused to visit Masjid Quba’ every Saturdaywhile riding and walking. He then would offer two rak`at (in the Mosque of Quba)." Sahih al-(Bukhari Vol.2: 1191, 1192 and Sahih Muslim 1399)
