It is narrated from Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Inform us about Bayt al-Maqdis (and its virtue). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is the land of the Gathering and the Raising (the plain of the Gathering and of people being brought back to life). Go there and pray in it, for one prayer offered in it is equal to a thousand prayers (in ordinary places)." We said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! (What should) one who is not able to travel there (do)? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever is not able to go there should send a gift of oil to light (the lamps) there, for whoever sends a gift of oil for it is like one who has come there himself."
