The Rewards and the Merits of Establishing Prayers in the Mosque of Kūfah and the Mosque of Sahlah
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 عليه السلام) 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.
