Musnad Ahmad — Hadith #44756

Aswad bin Amir told us, Hammad bin Salamah told us, on the authority of Abu Sinan, on the authority of Ubaid bin Adam, and my father, Maryam and Abu Shuaib that Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, was in the tax office, and he mentioned the conquest of the Holy House. He said, “Abu Salamah said, ‘Abu Sinan told me on the authority of Ubaid ibn Adam said, “I heard Omar ibn al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, saying to Ka’b, ‘Where do you think I should pray?’ He said, ‘If you take it from me, you will pray behind the rock,’ and it was All of Jerusalem is in your hands. Omar, may God be pleased with him, said, “You have rivaled Judaism. No, but I will pray where the Messenger of God prayed.” May God’s prayers and peace be upon him. He approached the Qiblah and prayed. Then he came, spread out his robe, and swept the sweeper in his robe and swept the people.
