حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مِسْکِينٌ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَبِي سَوْدَةَ عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ مَوْلَاةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفْتِنَا فِي بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَقَالَ ائْتُوهُ فَصَلُّوا فِيهِ وَکَانَتْ الْبِلَادُ إِذْ ذَاکَ حَرْبًا فَإِنْ لَمْ تَأْتُوهُ وَتُصَلُّوا فِيهِ فَابْعَثُوا بِزَيْتٍ يُسْرَجُ فِي قَنَادِيلِهِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 457
Narrated Maymunah ibn Saad: I said: Messenger of Allah, tell us the legal injunction about (visiting) Bayt al-Muqaddas (the dome of the Rock at Jerusalem). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: go and pray there. All the cities at that time were effected by war. If you cannot visit it and pray there, then send some oil to be used in the lamps.
