Maqdis.”
He said: “It is the land of the Resurrection and the
Gathering. Go
and pray there, for one prayer there is like one

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.”

Hadith 1413
Da’if — Darussalam
What was narrated concerning Prayer in the Jami’ Masjid
It was
narrated that Anas bin Malik said: “The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
said: ‘A man’s prayer in his house is equal (in reward) to one
prayer; his prayer in the mosque of the tribes is equal to
twenty-five
prayers; his prayer in the mosque in which Friday prayer
is offered is
equal to five-hundred prayers; his prayer in Aqsa
Mosque is equal to
fifty thousand prayers; his prayer in my mosque is
equal to fifty
thousand prayers; and his prayer in the Sacred Mosque
is equal to one
hundred thousand prayers.”
What was narrated concerning the beginning of the construction of the pulpit
It was
narrated from Tufail bin Ubayy bin Ka’b that his father said:
“The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray facing the trunk of a date-
palm
tree when the mosque was still a hut, and he used to deliver the
sermon leaning on that trunk. A man from among his Companions said:
‘Would you like us to make you something upon which you can stand
on
Fridays so that the people will be able to see you and hear your
sermon?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ So he made three steps for him, as a
pulpit.
When they put the pulpit in place, they put it in the place
where it
stands now. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wanted to
stand on the
pulpit, he passed by the tree trunk from which he used
to deliver the
sermon, and when he went beyond the trunk, it moaned
and split and
cracked. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came down when he
heard the
voice of the trunk, and rubbed it with his hand until it
fell silent.
Then he went back to the pulpit and when he prayed, he
prayed facing
it. When the mosque was knocked down (for renovation)
and (the
pillars, etc.) were changed, Ubayy bin Ka’b took that
trunk and kept
it in his house until it became very old and the
termites consumed it
and it became grains of dust.”
