Sunan Ibn Majah 1408 (Book 5, Hadith 606) #30760
The Story of Sulaiman bin Dawud and Baitul-Maqdis

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ was narrating a story of Sulaiman bin Dawud, who asked Allah for three things when he finished building Baitul-Maqdis. Two of his prayers were granted and the Prophet ﷺ hoped that the third was also granted.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr that the Prophet said: "When Sulaiman bin Dawud finished building Baitul-Maqdis, he asked Allah for three things: judgment that was in harmony with His judgment, a dominion that no one after him would have, and that no one should come to this mosque, intending only to pray there, but he would emerge free of sin as the day his mother bore him". The Prophet said: "Two prayers were granted, and I hope that the third was also granted".
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْجَهْمِ الأَنْمَاطِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ السَّيْبَانِيِّ، يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏"‏ لَمَّا فَرَغَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ مِنْ بِنَاءِ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ ثَلاَثًا حُكْمًا يُصَادِفُ حُكْمَهُ وَمُلْكًا لاَ يَنْبَغِي لأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَأَلاَّ يَأْتِيَ هَذَا الْمَسْجِدَ أَحَدٌ لاَ يُرِيدُ إِلاَّ الصَّلاَةَ فِيهِ إِلاَّ خَرَجَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كَيَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ ‏"‏ أَمَّا اثْنَتَانِ فَقَدْ أُعْطِيَهُمَا وَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ الثَّالِثَةَ

Ask sincerely from Allah with good intentions .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a story narrated by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ about Sulaiman bin Dawud, who built Baitul-Maqdis and asked Allah for three things. He asked for judgment that was in harmony with His judgment, a dominion that no one after him would have, and that no one should come to this mosque intending only to pray there but emerge free of sin as the day his mother bore him. Two prayers were granted and it is hoped that the third was also granted. This hadith teaches us about faith in Allah's power to grant our wishes if we ask sincerely from Him with good intentions. It also teaches us about humility before God as even someone as great as Sulaiman could not get all three wishes fulfilled at once but still accepted what he got with gratitude and hope in God's mercy.
