/1 حَدَّثَنَا عِصَامُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْعَطَّافُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الْأَرْقَمِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْأَرْقَمِ
أَنَّهُ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ؟ قَالَ أَرَدْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَاهُنَا وَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى حَيْثُ بَيْتُ الْمَقْدِسِ قَالَ مَا يُخْرِجُكَ إِلَيْهِ أَتِجَارَةٌ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا وَلَكِنْ أَرَدْتُ الصَّلَاةَ فِيهِ قَالَ فَالصَّلَاةُ هَاهُنَا وَأَوْمَأَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ بِيَدِهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ صَلَاةٍ وَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى الشَّامِ

✧ He came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and greeted him. He said: "Where do you intend to go?" He said: "I intended, O Messenger of God, to go here," and he gestured with his hand toward Jerusalem. He said: "What makes you go out to it? Is it trade?" He said: I said: "No, but I intended to pray in it." He said: "Prayer here," and he gestured toward Makkah with his hand, "is better than a thousand prayers," and he gestured with his hand toward Syria.
