حَدَّثَنَا
عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَحْرٍ ، قَالَ : حدثَنَا
عِيسَى ، قَالَ : ثَنَا
ثَوْرٌ ، عَنْ
زِيَادِ بْنِ أَبِي سَوْدَةَ ، عَنْ
أَخِيهِ ، أَنَّ
مَيْمُونَةَ مَوْلَاةَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَتْ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، أَفْتِنَا فِي بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ ؟ فَقَالَ :
" أَرْضُ الْمَنْشَرِ وَالْمَحْشَرِ ، ائْتُوهُ فَصَلُّوا فِيهِ ، فَإِنَّ صَلَاةً فِيهِ كَأَلْفِ صَلَاةٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ " ، قَالَتْ : أَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ لَمْ يُطِقْ أَنْ يَتَحَمَّلَ إِلَيْهِ ، أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُ ؟ قَالَ : " فَلْيُهْدِ إِلَيْهِ زَيْتًا يُسْرَجُ فِيهِ ، فَإِنَّ مَنْ أَهْدَى لَهُ ، كَانَ كَمَنْ صَلَّى فِيهِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she submitted in the court of the Prophet: O Messenger of Allah! Tell us something about Bayt al-Maqdis. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is the land of resurrection and gathering. Go there and pray in it, for praying one prayer in Bayt al-Maqdis is equal to a thousand prayers elsewhere." She asked: Tell me, if a person does not have the ability to go there, what should he do? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He should send olive oil to be used in its lamps, for the one who sends a gift to it is like the one who has prayed in it."
