BAYAN LI AL-HAJ SIRI 1: KELEBIHAN SOLAT BERJEMAAH 40 WAKTU DI MASJID NABAWI
Is there a specific virtue for performing 40 congregational prayers at the Prophet's Mosque in Medina?
Short answer
The hadith on performing 40 prayers at the Prophet's Mosque without missing any is disputed by scholars because of the status of the narrator Nubaith bin Umar.

Summary
The hadith on performing 40 prayers at the Prophet's Mosque without missing any is disputed by scholars because of the status of the narrator Nubaith bin Umar. The view preferred is that the hadith is weak, but only slightly so. It may therefore be acted upon in matters of the virtues of deeds (fadha'il al-'amal). The fatwa also mentions a related al-Tirmidhi hadith on 40 days of congregational prayer, which does not mention the Prophet's Mosque and refers to 40 days rather than 40 prayers.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
