اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْجَهْمِ الْأَنْمَاطِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ السَّيْبَانِيِّ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَمَّا فَرَغَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ مِنْ بِنَاءِ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ ، سَأَلَ اللَّهَ ثَلَاثًا : حُكْمًا يُصَادِفُ حُكْمَهُ ، وَمُلْكًا لَا يَنْبَغِي لَأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ ، وَأَلَّا يَأْتِيَ هَذَا الْمَسْجِدَ أَحَدٌ لَا يُرِيدُ إِلَّا الصَّلَاةَ فِيهِ إِلَّا خَرَجَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كَيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ " ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَمَّا اثْنَتَانِ فَقَدْ أُعْطِيَهُمَا ، وَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ الثَّالِثَةَ " .
´It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:` “When Sulaiman bin Dawud finished building Baitil-Maqdis, he asked Allah for three things: judgment that was in harmony with His judgment, a dominion that no one after him would have, and that no one should come to this mosque, intending only to pray there, but he would emerge free of sin as the day his mother bore him.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Two prayers were granted, and I hope that the third was also granted.”

Brief Explanation
1؎ : The authority of Sulaiman (alayhis salam) is known from this verse: «ففهمناها سليمان وكلا آتينا حكما وعلما» (Surah Al-Anbiya: 79), «فسخرنا له الريح تجري بأمره رخاء حيث أصاب» (Surah Sad: 36). Furthermore, he had authority over the wind, jinn, mankind, and all beasts and birds, as is present in this verse: «والشياطين كل بناء وغواص» (Surah Sad: 37). And since the third matter is not explicitly mentioned in the Qur'an, the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said regarding it, "I hope that the third thing was also granted to him."

“He said: My Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom such as will not belong to anyone after me. Indeed, You are the Bestower. So We subjected to him the wind, blowing gently by his command wherever he wished, and the devils—every builder and diver, and others bound together in chains.”

694. Commentary: The first two requests were granted, and this is also mentioned in the hadith. The acceptance of the third request is not mentioned in the hadith in the same manner as the first two; however, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did say regarding it that «فنحن نرجوا أن یکون اللہ عزوجل قد أعطاہ إیاہ» [مسند احمد : 176/2]
“We hope that Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has also granted this to him (Sulaiman alayhis salam).” Therefore, its acceptance is also understood. And Allah knows best. As for the House of Allah (Baytullah), it is mentioned in the ahadith that whoever performs its Hajj becomes completely purified from sins, just as the day his mother gave birth to him. [صحیح البخاري ، الحج ، حدیث : 1521 ، و صحیح مسلم ، الحج ، حدیث : 1350]
