أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْهِرٍ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ ، عَنْ ابْنِ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ دَاوُدَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا بَنَى بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خِلَالًا ثَلَاثَةً : سَأَلَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حُكْمًا يُصَادِفُ حُكْمَهُ فَأُوتِيَهُ ، وَسَأَلَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مُلْكًا لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَأُوتِيَهُ ، وَسَأَلَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حِينَ فَرَغَ مِنْ بِنَاءِ الْمَسْجِدِ أَنْ لَا يَأْتِيَهُ أَحَدٌ لَا يَنْهَزُهُ إِلَّا الصَّلَاةُ فِيهِ أَنْ يُخْرِجَهُ مِنْ خَطِيئَتِهِ كَيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ " .
´It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` "When Sulaiman bin Dawud finished building Bait Al-Maqdis, he asked Allah for three things: Judgement that was in harmony with His judgement, and he was given that. And he asked Allah for a dominion that no one after him would have, and he was given that. And when he finished building the Masjid he asked Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, that no one should come to it, intending only to pray there, but he would emerge free of sin as the day his mother bore him."

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
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]
