It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man said on the day of the conquest of Makkah: O Messenger of Allah! I had vowed that if Allah granted you victory over Makkah, I would pray in Bayt al-Maqdis. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Pray here. He repeated his question, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I am telling you, pray here. He repeated the same question again, so this time the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then do as you wish.
