Equal to Hajj

[Rabi'ya]

I came across this site whilst on my travels

Silk Road Tours

There is a sentence on this particular page which says

Three visits to Turkistan are equivalent to making the Hajj to Mecca.

Surely this is not right....?

Can someone explain?maybe someone knows a little about this...

The city still attracts thousands of pilgrims. According to local tradition, three pilgrimages to Türkistan are said to be equivalent to one Hajj to Mecca, although this is not widely accepted elsewhere in the Muslim World. The Saint was held in such reverence that the city was even known as the Second Mecca of the East, and it is of enormous importance for Muslims in Kazakhstan.
