Like a pilgrim in ihram

Leaving home in wudu for an obligatory prayer has the reward of a pilgrim.

Narrated by Abu Umamah

Whoever goes out of his house in a state of purity to an obligatory prayer, his reward is like that of a pilgrim in ihram. Whoever goes out for the Duha prayer, his reward is like that of one performing Umrah. And a prayer followed by a prayer with no idle talk between them is recorded in Illiyyin.

Sunan Abi Dawud 558

The hadith in Arabic نص الحديث

مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُتَطَهِّرًا إِلَى صَلاَةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ فَأَجْرُهُ كَأَجْرِ الْحَاجِّ الْمُحْرِمِ وَمَنْ خَرَجَ إِلَى تَسْبِيحِ الضُّحَى لاَ يُنْصِبُهُ إِلاَّ إِيَّاهُ فَأَجْرُهُ كَأَجْرِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ وَصَلاَةٌ عَلَى أَثَرِ صَلاَةٍ لاَ لَغْوَ بَيْنَهُمَا كِتَابٌ فِي عِلِّيِّينَ
