Help Needed

On page 443 of volume 5 of Maroof-ul- Quran two points are in need of your help.Hazrat Mufti Shafi Saheb (may mercy of Allah be upon him) quotes one Hadis as follows:-

(1)The Holy Kaba is the first mosque,and Masjid Aqsa is the 2nd mosque.Masjid Aqsa was built 40 (forty) years after The Kaba.

(2)Masjid Aqsa was built by Hazrat Suleman.

Discussion of Point # 1
The muslim faith is that The Kaba was built either by Hazrat Adam(ph) or Hazrat Ibrahim(ph) .For the sake of present discussion if we count the time gap between Hazrat Ibrahim & Hazrat Suleman,the result is as follows:-
Hazrat Ibrahim came to Palestine in 1900 B.C.
Hazrat Suleman reigned from ………970 B.C.

Time gap   930 years
How can 930 years be ignored, and only 40 (forty) years be considered as the time gap between Hazrat Ibrahim & Hazrat Suleman?
An interesting point is that Hazrat Musa(ph) was 40(forty) years in the wilderness Hazrat Ibrahim’s son was Issack, Hazrat Issack’s son was Yakub,Hazrat Yakub’s son was Hazrat Yusuf(ph)………….after four hundred years gap Hazrat Musa(ph) leads the Israelites out of Egypt in 1250 B.C.Some more names come before the reign of Hazrat Suleman starts in 970 B.C.Hazrat Suleman died in 931 B.C. How can so many people coming one after another live and die in 40(forty) years? Any body who can help solve this problem is more than welcome.

Discussion of point#2
People say that Hazrat Suleman built the Temple of Soloman.In Maroof-ul- Quran it is written that Hazrat Suleman built Masjid Aqsa.Some people say that the Temple of Soloman was destroyed much before Hazrat Umer(RTA) built Masjid Aqsa on the vacant plot of the Temple of Soloman.This also means that there was no Masjid Aqsa built by Hazrat Umer at the time of Miraj of the Holy Prophet(ph). Please shed some light on point # 2 also May Allah Bless you . Thank you
