It is narrated from the servant of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyida Maymunah bint Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with her), that she said: O Messenger of Allah! Please tell us something about Bayt al-Maqdis. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is the place where people will be gathered and resurrected. Go there and offer prayers, for one prayer there is better than a thousand prayers elsewhere. She asked: What is your opinion if someone cannot go there or cannot bear the hardship of travel, what should he do? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He should send olive oil to be burnt there (for its lamps). Whoever sends oil there, it is as if he has prayed there.
