694. It was narrated from 'Abdullâh bin 'Amr that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "When Sulaimân bin Dâwûd finished building Bait Al-Maqdis, he asked Allâh for three things: Judgment that was in harmony with His judgment, and he was given that. And he asked Allâh for a dominion that no one after him would have, and he was given that. And when he finished building the Masjid he asked Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, that no one should come to it, intending only to pray there, but he would emerge free of sin as the day his mother bore him." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
The first two requests were sanctioned and their description has occurred in the Hadīth. But the sanction of the third request is not mentioned in the Hadīth. And yet, in another narration, Allâh's Messenger ﷺ did speak about it saying: Ennahnu naruju' an yakūn Allâh azzu ja'll qad a'atahu iyyah - We hope that Allâh Exalted and Honored has bestowed him [Sulayman (as)] with it - therefore its sanction also appears most likely. And Allâh knows best!
