من النذور و الايمانFrom the Book of Vows and Oaths
باب مَنْ نَذَرَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ في بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ أَيُجْزِئُهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِمَكَّةَ:Chapter: If One Vows to Pray in Jerusalem, Is Praying in Mecca Sufficient?
Hadith 2376
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَقِيَّةَ الْمُعَلِّمِ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ إِنْ فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ ؟ فَقَالَ: "صَلِّ هَاهُنَا". فَأَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "شَأْنُكَ إِذَنْ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man said: O Messenger of Allah! I had vowed that if Allah grants you the conquest of Makkah, I would go to Bayt al-Maqdis and pray there. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Pray here (in the Ka'bah)." He repeated his question three times, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Now it is up to you" (meaning you have the choice to go to Bayt al-Maqdis and pray there and fulfill your vow).
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 2375)
From this hadith, it is established that if someone makes a vow (mannat or nazr) to perform prayer in Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem), he may fulfill his vow by performing prayer in Bayt Allah al-Sharif (the Sacred House, i.e., the Ka‘bah), and his vow will be considered fulfilled. This is because Bayt Allah al-Haram is superior to Bayt al-Maqdis, and the reward for prayer in Bayt Allah is much greater than that for prayer in Bayt al-Maqdis. When this person insisted repeatedly, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: "You are seeking hardship for yourself, so go, fulfill your vow there, and perform prayer in Bayt al-Maqdis."
The noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: «اَلدِّيْنُ يُسْرٌ وَلَنْ يُشَّادَّ الدِّيْنَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا غَلَبَهُ.» meaning: The religion is easy, and whoever makes the religion hard upon himself, the religion will overcome him.
