Question
Please provide the reference of the incident of ‘Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhu) entering Baytul Maqdis and refusing to read Salah inside a church.
Answer
This incident is cited in Tarikh Ibn Khaldun. I have not come across a chain of narrators for this incident and therefore cannot verify the authenticity.
(Tarikh Ibn Khaldun, pg. 437. Also see: Sahih Bukhari, before Hadith: 434)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
