7 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ ظَرِيفِ بْنِ نَاصِحٍ عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْقَلَانِسِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) يَقُولُ صَلَاةٌ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْكُوفَةِ بِأَلْفِ صَلَاةٍ

7. Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Mahziyār narrated to me from his father, from his grandfather ‘Ali ibn Mahziyār, from Ḥasan ibn Sa’īd, from Żarīf ibn Nāsiḥ, from Khālid Al-Qalānisi, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) say, “Establishing one prayer in the Mosque of Kūfah is equal to establishing one thousand prayers (elsewhere).”

8 وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ مَكَّةُ حَرَمُ اللَّهِ وَ حَرَمُ رَسُولِهِ وَ حَرَمُ عَلِيٍّ الصَّلَاةُ فِيهَا بِمِائَةِ أَلْفِ صَلَاةٍ وَ الدِّرْهَمُ فِيهَا بِمِائَةِ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ الْمَدِينَةُ حَرَمُ اللَّهِ وَ حَرَمُ رَسُولِهِ (ص) وَ حَرَمُ عَلِيٍّ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (ع) الصَّلَاةُ [فِيهَا] فِي مَسْجِدِهَا بِعَشَرَةِ أَلْفِ صَلَاةٍ وَ الدِّرْهَمُ فِيهَا بِعَشَرَةِ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ الْكُوفَةُ حَرَمُ اللَّهِ وَ حَرَمُ رَسُولِهِ (ص) وَ حَرَمُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيٍّ (ع) الصَّلَاةُ فِي مَسْجِدِهَا بِأَلْفِ صَلَاةٍ

8. Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Mahziyār narrated to me from his father, from his grandfather ‘Ali ibn Mahziyār, from Ḥasan ibn Sa’īd, from Żarīf ibn Nāsiḥ, from Khālid Al-Qalānisi, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Makkah is the sanctuary of Allāh, His Messenger (s.a.a.w.), and ‘Ali (a.s.). Establishing one prayer in it is equal to establishing one hundred thousand prayers (elsewhere), and giving one Dirham as charity in Makkah is equal to giving one hundred thousand Dirhams (elsewhere). Madīnah is (also) the sanctuary of Allāh, His Messenger (s.a.a.w.), and ‘Ali, the Commander of the Believers (a.s.). Establishing one prayer in its mosque is equal to establishing ten thousand prayers (elsewhere), and giving one Dirham as charity in Madīnah is equal to giving ten thousand Dirhams (elsewhere). Kūfah is (also) the sanctuary of Allāh, His Messenger (s.a.a.w.), and ‘Ali, the Commander of the Believers (a.s.). Establishing one prayer in its mosque is equal to establishing one thousand prayers (elsewhere).

9. Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Mat Al-Jawhari narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Yaḥyā, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad, from Abī Muḥammad (Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Faďďāl), from ‘Ali ibn Asbāť, from some of our companions, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: The border of the Mosque of Sahlah reaches Rawḥā. The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn Aḥmad ibn Walīd, from Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan Al-Saffār, from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from ‘Ali ibn Asbāť, from some of our companions, from Imam Abī ‘Abdillāh (a.s.).

10 حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قُولَوَيْهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُوسَى الْخَشَّابِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لِأَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ هَلْ شَهِدْتَ عَمِّي لَيْلَةَ خَرَجَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَهَلْ صَلَّى فِي مَسْجِدِ سُهَيْلٍ قَالَ وَ أَيْنَ مَسْجِدُ سُهَيْلٍ لَعَلَّكَ تَعْنِي مَسْجِدَ السَّهْلَةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَوْ صَلَّى فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ- ثُمَّ اسْتَجَارَ اللَّهَ لَأَجَارَهُ سَنَةً فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو حَمْزَةَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي هَذَا مَسْجِدُ السَّهْلَةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ فِيهِ بَيْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذِي كَانَ يَأْتِي مِنْهُ إِلَى الْعَمَالِقَةِ وَ فِيهِ بَيْتُ إِدْرِيسَ الَّذِي كَانَ يَخِيطُ فِيهِ وَ فِيهِ مُنَاخُ الرَّاكِبِ وَ فِيهِ صَخْرَةٌ خَضْرَاءُ فِيهَا صُوَرُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ [صُورَةُ جَمِيعِ النَّبِيِّينَ] وَ تَحْتَ الصَّخْرَةِ الطِّينَةُ الَّتِي خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْهَا النَّبِيِّينَ وَ فِيهَا الْمِعْرَاجُ وَ هُوَ الْفَارُوقُ الْأَعْظَمُ مَوْضِعٌ مِنْهُ وَ هُوَ مَمَرُّ النَّاسِ وَ هُوَ مِنْ كُوفَانَ وَ فِيهِ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ وَ إِلَيْهِ الْمَحْشَرُ يُحْشَرُ مِنْ جَانِبِهِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفاً- يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ ... بِغَيْرِ حِسابٍ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ أفلح [أَفْلَجَ اللَّهُ حُجَجَهُمْ وَ ضَاعَفَ نِعَمَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمُ الْمُسْتَبِقُونَ الْفَائِزُونَ الْقَانِتُونَ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَدْرَءُوا عَنْ أَنْفُسِهِمُ الْمَفْخَرَ وَ يُحَلَّوْنَ بِعَدْلِ اللَّهِ عَنْ لِقَائِهِ وَ أَسْرَعُوا فِي الطَّاعَةِ فَعَمِلُوا وَ عَلِمُوا أَنَّ اللّهَ بِما يَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِسَابٌ وَ لَا عَذَابٌ يُذْهِبُ الضِّغْنَ يُطَهِّرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ مِنْ وَسَطِهِ سَارَ جَبَلُ الْأَهْوَازِ وَ قَدْ أَتَى عَلَيْهِ زَمَانٌ وَ هُوَ مَعْمُورٌ

10. My brother ‘Ali ibn Muḥammad ibn Qūlawayh narrated to me from Aḥmad ibn Idrīs ibn Aḥmad, from ‘Imrān ibn Mūsā, from Ḥasan ibn Mūsā Al-Khashab, from ‘Ali ibn Ḥassān, from his uncle ‘Abdil Raḥmān ibn Kuthayr, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) ask Abā Ḥamzah Al-Thumāli, “O Abā Ḥamzah! Did you see my uncle on the night of his uprising?” “Yes,” Abū Ḥamzah replied. “Did he pray in the Mosque of Suhayl?” Imam (a.s.) asked. “Where is the Mosque of Suhayl? Do you mean the Mosque of Sahlah?” Abū Ḥamzah asked. “Yes. Verily if he had prayed two Rak’ah there and then sought refuge with Allāh, he would have been protected by Allāh for one year,” the Imam (a.s.) said. “May I sacrifice my father and mother for you! Are you referring to this (known) Mosque of Sahlah?” Abū Ḥamzah asked. “Yes,” the Imam (a.s.) replied. Then Imam (a.s.) continued: (The Mosque of Sahlah) contains the house of Ibrāhīm where he used to rise against the giants. It contains the house of Idrīs where he used to sew. It contains the place where the rider ties his camel. It contains a green rock which has the pictures of all of the prophets within it, and the clay under this rock is the clay from which Allāh created all of the prophets. The MI’RĀJ (ascension) took place in (a part of this mosque known as) the great FĀRŪQ (separator). The Mosque of Sahlah is part of Kūfān and it is the route people will pass. The trumpet will be blown from it and (the people) will be resurrected toward it. Seventy thousand people will be resurrected from the side of the Mosque of Sahlah and they will enter Paradise without any judgment. They are those whom Allāh has set aright and upon whom He has increased His blessings. Verily they are the devout winners who will be rewarded before others. They love to repel any praise about themselves and they are terrified of meeting Allāh with His justice. They are quick in obeying Allāh, they perform good deeds, and they understand that Allāh sees what they do. There will not be any judgment nor torment for them. Verily Allāh removes the rancour and purifies the believers. The mountain of Ahwān, which is a very old mountain and which was populated in the past, started to move from the middle of this mosque.

11. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Abī ‘Abdillāh Muḥammad ibn Abī ‘Abdillāh Al-Rāzi Al-Jāmūrāni, from Ḥusain ibn Sayf ibn ‘Amīrah, from his father Sayf, from Abī Bakr Al-Ḥaďrami, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) or Abā Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)), “What is the best place after Masjid Al-Ḥarām and the Mosque of the Prophet (s.a.a.w.)?” Imam (a.s.) replied: Kūfah. O Abā Bakr! Kūfah is the purified and the virtuous land. It contains the graves of the messengers, the prophets, and the truthful successors. It (also) contains the Mosque of Suhayl in which every prophet sent by Allāh has prayed. The Justice of Allāh (the Twelfth Imam (a.s.)) will (also) reappear from this city. The rising Imam (a.s.) and those who will lead after him will also live in it. It is indeed the abode of the prophets, the successors, and the righteous ones.

12. Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Mahziyār narrated to me from his father, from his grandfather, from Ḥasan ibn Maḥbūb, from Ḥanān ibn Sadīr, who said: I was with Abī Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)) when a man entered, said Salām to the Imam (a.s.), and sat down. “Where are you from?” Imam (a.s.) asked the man. “I am from Kūfah. I believe in your Wilāyah and I am one of your lovers,” the man said. “Do you establish all of your prayers in the Mosque of Kūfah?” Imam (a.s.) asked. “No,” the man replied. “Verily you are deprived of the good (blessings),” Imam (a.s.) said. Then the Imam (a.s.) asked, “Do you perform a Ghusl once a day with the water of the Euphrates River which is close to you?” “No,” the man replied. “What about once a week?” Imam (a.s.) asked. “No,” the man replied. “What about once a month?” Imam (a.s.) asked. “No,” the man replied. “What about once a year?” Imam (a.s.) asked. “No,” the man replied. “Verily you are deprived of the good (blessings),” Imam (a.s.) said. Then the Imam (a.s.) asked, “Do you go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) once a week?” “No,” the man replied. “What about once a month?” Imam (a.s.) asked. “No,” the man replied. “What about once a year?” Imam (a.s.) asked. “No,” the man replied. “Verily you are deprived of the good (blessings),” Imam (a.s.) said.

13 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ الْحَذَّاءِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (ع) لَا تَدَعْ يَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ الصَّلَاةَ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْكُوفَةِ وَ لَوْ أَتَيْتَهُ حَبْواً فَإِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ فِيهِ بِسَبْعِينَ صَلَاةً فِي غَيْرِهِ مِنَ الْمَسَاجِدِ

13. Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Mahziyār narrated to me from his father, from his grandfather ‘Ali ibn Mahziyār, from Ḥasan ibn Maḥbūb, from ‘Ali ibn Ri`āb, from Abī ‘Ubaydah Al-Ḥadhā, who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)) said to me: O Abā ‘Ubaydah! Do not neglect establishing prayers in the Mosque of Kūfah even if you have to crawl to it because establishing one prayer there is equal to establishing seventy prayers in other mosques.

14 حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الرِّضَا (ع) يَقُولُ الصَّلَاةُ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْكُوفَةِ فُرَادَى أَفْضَلُ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ صَلَاةً فِي غَيْرِهِ جَمَاعَةً

14. Abū ‘Abdil Raḥmān Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Ḥusain Al-‘Askari narrated to me from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Mahziyār, from his father, from Ḥasan ibn Sa’īd, from Muḥammad ibn Sinān, who said: Imam Riďā (a.s.) said: Establishing one prayer alone in the Mosque of Kūfah has more value than establishing seventy congregational prayers in any other mosque.

15 وَ عَنْهُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ ظَرِيفِ بْنِ نَاصِحٍ عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْقَلَانِسِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) يَقُولُ الصَّلَاةُ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْكُوفَةِ بِأَلْفِ صَلَاةٍ

15. Abū ‘Abdil Raḥmān Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Ḥusain Al-‘Askari narrated to me from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali, from his father, from Ḥasan ibn Sa’īd, from Żarīf ibn Nāsiḥ, from Khālid Al-Qalānisi, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Establishing one prayer in the Mosque of Kūfah is equal to establishing one thousand prayers (elsewhere).

16 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ أَخِيهِ عَلِيٍّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ فُضَيْلٍ الْأَعْوَرِ عَنْ لَيْثِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ قَالَ اسْتَقْبَلْتُهُ وَ قَدْ صَلَّى النَّاسُ الْعَصْرَ- فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أُصَلِّ الظُّهْرَ بَعْدُ فَلَا تَحْبِسْنِي وَ امْضِ رَاشِداً قَالَ قُلْتُ لِمَ أَخَّرْتَهَا إِلَى السَّاعَةِ قَالَ كَانَتْ لِي حَاجَةٌ فِي السُّوقِ فَأَخَّرْتُ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى أُصَلِّيَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ- لِلْفَضْلِ الَّذِي بَلَغَنِي فِيهِ قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ فَقُلْتُ أَيَّ شَيْءٍ رُوِّيتَ فِيهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي فُلَانٌ عَنْ فُلَانٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (ص) يَقُولُ عُرِجَ بِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ إِنِّي هَبَطْتُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَأُهْبِطْتُ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ أَبِي نُوحٍ (ع) وَ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ هُوَ مَسْجِدُ الْكُوفَةِ فَصَلَّيْتُ فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (ص) إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ فِيهِ تَعْدِلُ حِجَّةً مَبْرُورَةً وَ النَّافِلَةَ تَعْدِلُ عُمْرَةً مَبْرُورَةً

16. My father and Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh both narrated to me from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari, from Ibrāhīm ibn Mahziyār, from his brother ‘Ali, from Ḥasan ibn Sa’īd, from ‘Ali ibn Ḥakam, from Fuďayl Al-A’war, who said: I met Layth ibn Abī Sulaym after people had finished Salāt Al-‘Asr. (Layth ibn Abī Sulaym) said, “Do not keep me, for I have not prayed Salāt Al-Ďuhr yet. Continue on your route with success.” “Why have you delayed your prayers until now?” I asked. “I had some business in the market that I had to take care of. I delayed my prayers so I could come to the mosque and pray in it because of the merits that I have heard of this mosque,” Layth said. “What have you heard about this mosque?” I asked. He replied: Some people narrated to me with sources from ‘Āyishah, from the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.), who said: On the night that I ascended to the heavens, I landed in the mosque of my fathers, Nūḥ and Ibrāhīm, which is the Mosque of Kūfah, and I prayed two Rak’ah there. Verily establishing an obligatory prayer in the Mosque of Kūfah is equal to performing a purified Hajj, and establishing a recommended prayer in it is equal to performing a purified ‘Umrah.
