761. hadíth

وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «وَقَّتَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ، لِأَهْلِ اَلْعِرَاقِ اَلْعَقِيقَ وَ أَوَّلُهُ اَلْمَسْلَخُ وَ وَسَطُهُ غَمْرَةُ وَ آخِرُهُ ذَاتُ عِرْقٍ وَ أَوَّلُهُ أَفْضَلُ ».

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) said: "The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon him and his family) designated Al-‘Aqiq as the miqat for the people of Iraq. Its beginning is Al-Maslakhu, its middle is Ghamrah, and its end is Dhat Irq. The beginning (Al-Maslakhu) is the most virtuous."
