To gain the virtue

The Messenger of Allah ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) dispatched a company. They acquired spoils and rushed back to tell people about how close was their battle, how many their spoils, and how quickly they returned. The Prophet said, “Shall I not tell you what is closer than a battle, more plentiful than spoils, and a swifter return? One who performs ablution then goes to the mosque in the morning to glorify Allah in the forenoon. It is a closer battle, more plentiful spoils, and a swifter return.”
