It is narrated from Saeed bin
Musayyab that a man sought permission from Umar bin Khattab to visit Baitul
Maqdas.
Umar said: “Go and make
preparations and when you are ready, inform me.” When that man was ready, he
came to Umar and Umar said: “Instead of traveling there. Go to Mecca and
perform the Hajj and Umrah.” He also says: “When Umar was engrossed in
receiving Zakat of camels, two persons approached him; he asked: “Where do you
come from?” They replied: “From Baitul Maqdas.” Umar raised his whip and said:
“Is there a Hajj pilgrimage other than pilgrimage to the House of Allah?” They
were terrified and said: “We passed by from there.”
[Azraqi has mentioned this in
Akhbare Makkah, 2/63. It is also mentioned in Kanzul Ummaal, 7:157 [4/146, H.
38194]
