64. Vows
٦٤۔ كِتَابُ النُّذُورِ
[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, indeed I made a vow during the time of conquest that if Allah grants you victory, then I will pray in Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa (the Noble Sanctuary). He (the Messenger of Allah) said: 'Pray here.' So he repeated it two or three times. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: 'What is your matter then?' And this was narrated by Hammad bin Salamah from Habib Al-Muallim from Ataa.'"
يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ زَمَنَ الْفَتْحِ إِنْ فَتْحَ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَقَالَ صَلِّ هَهُنَا فَأَعَادَهَا عَلَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَشَأْنَكَ إِذًا وَرَوَاهُ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ حَبِيبٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ
In case Allah cures me I will certainly go and observe prayer in Bait al-Maqdis. She recovered and so she made preparations to go out (to that place). She came to Maimuna. the wife of Allah's Apostle ﷺ. and after greeting her she informed her about it, whereupon she said: Stay here. and eat the provision (which you had made) and observe prayer In the mosque of the Messenger ﷺ. for I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Prayer In it is better than a thousand prayers observed in other mosques except the mosque of the Ka'ba. (Using translation from Muslim 1396)
لَئِنْ شَفَانِي اللهُ لَأَخْرُجَنَّ فَلَأُصَلِّيَنَّ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَبَرَأَتْ ثُمَّ تَجَهَّزَتْ تُرِيدُ الْخُرُوجَ فَجَاءَتْ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ تُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهَا فَأَخْبَرَتْهَا ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتِ اجْلِسِي فَكُلِي مِمَّا صَنَعْتِ وَصَلِّي فِي مَسْجِدِ الرَّسُولِ ﷺ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ صَلَاةٌ فِيهِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفِ صَلَاةٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ مِنَ الْمَسَاجِدِ إِلَّا مَسْجِدَ الْكَعْبَةِ
[Machine] He said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "A prayer in my mosque is better than a thousand prayers in any other mosque except for the Sacred Mosque."
أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةٌ فِي مَسْجِدِي هَذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ صَلَاةٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ إِلَّا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ
