Question

What is the reward of performing Salah in Masjidul Aqsa?

Answer

Masjidul Aqsa is the third most virtuous masjid on earth.

Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) has encouraged salah therein in several narrations, one of which is cited below:

Sayyiduna Abud Darda (radiyallahu’anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said as part of a longer Hadith: ‘…

One salah in the Masjid of Baytul Muqaddas (Masjidul Aqsa) is better than five hundred Salahs elsewhere.’

(Musnad Bazzar, Hadith: 4142 and Al-Mu’jamul Kabir. Also see Targhib, Hadith: 1776 and Mawsu’ah ibn Hajar, vol. 2 pg. 308)

‘Allamah Haythami (rahimahullah) has declared the Hadith as sound (hasan).

(Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 4 pg. 7)
