The Quba Mosque, just outside Medina, is the first ever mosque built in the history of Islam. Its first stones were positioned by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) during the Hijra (the Migration) from Mecca to Medina and the mosque was completed by his companions. The Prophet (PBUH) spent more than 20 nights in this mosque (after migrating) praying qasr (short prayer) while waiting for Imam Ali whose house was behind this mosque.
The Quba Mosque is the 4th holiest mosque in Islam, after the Masjid al-Haram (Mecca), Masjid al-Nabawi (Medina) and Masjid al-Aqsa (Jerusalem), in order of their holiness. To offer 2 raka'ah of nafl prayers in Masjid Quba is equal to performing one Umrah.
It is mentioned in the Qur'an as the mosque founded on piety and devoutness (Masjid al-Taqwa):
"Certainly a masjid founded on piety from the very first day is more deserving that you should stand in it; in it are men who love that they should be purified; and Allah loves those who purify themselves." (At-Tawbah Sura 9:108).
