The Virtue of Mosques, Their Sanctity and the Reward for Those Who Pray in Them
وَ رَوَى أَبُو حَمْزَةَ اَلثُّمَالِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «مَنْ صَلَّى فِي مَسْجِدِ اَلْخَيْفِ بِمِنًى مِائَةَ رَكْعَةٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنْهُ عَدَلَتْ عِبَادَةَ سَبْعِينَ عَاماً وَ مَنْ سَبَّحَ اَللَّهَ فِيهِ مِائَةَ تَسْبِيحَةٍ كَتَبَ اَللَّهُ لَهُ كَأَجْرِ عِتْقِ رَقَبَةٍ وَ مَنْ هَلَّلَ اَللَّهَ فِيهِ مِائَةَ تَهْلِيلَةٍ عَدَلَتْ أَجْرَ إِحْيَاءِ نَسَمَةٍ وَ مَنْ حَمَّدَ اَللَّهَ فِيهِ مِائَةَ تَحْمِيدَةٍ عَدَلَتْ أَجْرَ خَرَاجِ اَلْعِرَاقَيْنِ يُتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.
Abu Hamza al-Thumali narrated from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام that He said: "Whoever prays one hundred rak'ahs in the Mosque of al-Khayf in Mina before leaving it, it is equivalent to the worship of seventy years. Whoever glorifies (says 'SubhanAllah سبحانه وتعالى') one hundred times in it, Allah سبحانه وتعالى records for them the reward of freeing a slave. Whoever declares the oneness of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (says 'La ilaha illa Allah سبحانه وتعالى') one hundred times in it, it is equivalent to the reward of reviving a soul. Whoever praises Allah سبحانه وتعالى (says 'Alhamdulillah') one hundred times in it, it is as if they have given in charity the value of the entire wealth of Iraq and its surroundings in the path of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic."
