وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ”إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ ثَلَاثًا، أَعْطَاهُ اثْنَتَيْنِ، وَنَحْنُ نَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ الثَّالِثَةُ، فَسَأَلَهُ حُكْمًا يُصَادِفُ حُكْمَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ إِيَّاهُ، وَسَأَلَهُ مُلْكًا لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ، وَسَأَلَهُ أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ لَا يُرِيدُ إِلَّا الصَّلَاةَ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ خَرَجَ مِنْ خَطِيئَتِهِ مِثْلَ يَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ، فَنَحْنُ نَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sulaiman bin Dawood (peace be upon him) made three supplications to Allah Almighty. Allah accepted two of his supplications, and we hope that Allah will also accept his third supplication. He prayed to Allah that his judgment should be in accordance with Allah’s judgment, and Allah accepted this supplication. His second supplication was that Allah grant him such a kingdom that no one after him would have such a kingdom, and Allah also accepted this supplication. His third supplication was that whoever leaves his house solely to perform prayer in Masjid Al-Aqsa, he should be cleansed of sins as pure as he was on the day of his birth. We hope that Allah Almighty has also accepted this supplication of his.
