14. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jabir who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, has said, ‘The Messenger of Allah asked Jibril (Gabriel), “Which places are more beloved to Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious?” He replied, “It is Masjids and most beloved to Allah of its people are those who enter them first and leave last.’””
