وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ جَمِيعًا عَنِ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ - قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ - عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ امْرَأَةً اشْتَكَتْ شَكْوَى فَقَالَتْ إِنْ شَفَانِى اللَّهُ لأَخْرُجَنَّ فَلأُصَلِّيَنَّ فِى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ. فَبَرَأَتْ ثُمَّ تَجَهَّزَتْ تُرِيدُ الْخُرُوجَ فَجَاءَتْ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- تُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهَا فَأَخْبَرَتْهَا ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتِ اجْلِسِى فَكُلِى مَا صَنَعْتِ وَصَلِّى فِى مَسْجِدِ الرَّسُولِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَإِنِّى سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَقُولُ « صَلاَةٌ فِيهِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفِ صَلاَةٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ مِنَ الْمَسَاجِدِ إِلاَّ مَسْجِدَ الْكَعْبَةِ ».

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “A woman fell sick and said: ‘If Allah heals me, I will certainly go and pray in Bayt Al-Maqdis (Jerusalem).’ She recovered, then she made preparations to set out. She came to Maimunah, the Wife of the Prophet (S.A.W) to greet her, and told her about that. Maimunah said to her: ‘Stay here and eat what you have prepared and pray in the Masjid of the Messenger(S.A.W) for heard the Messenger of Allah say: One prayer therein is better than a thousand prayers offered in any other Masjid, except the Masjid of the Ka‘bah”’
