The Virtue of Mosques, Their Sanctity and the Reward for Those Who Pray in Them
وَقَالَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: «نِعْمَ اَلْمَسْجِدُ مَسْجِدُ اَلْكُوفَةِ صَلَّى فِيهِ أَلْفُ نَبِيٍّ وَ أَلْفُ وَصِيٍّ وَ مِنْهُ «فٰارَ اَلتَّنُّورُ» وَ فِيهِ نُجِرَتِ اَلسَّفِينَةُ مَيْمَنَتُهُ رِضْوَانُ اَللَّهِ وَ وَسَطُهُ رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ اَلْجَنَّةِ وَ مَيْسَرَتُهُ مَكْرٌ يَعْنِي مَنَازِلَ اَلشَّيَاطِينِ.
Abu Basir said: "I heard Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام say: "What a blessed mosque is the Mosque of Kufa! A thousand prophets and a thousand successors (of prophets) have prayed in it. From it 'the oven gushed forth' (a reference to the flood of Noah). In it, the Ark was built. Its right side is the Ridwan of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, its center is a garden from the gardens of Paradise, and its left side is a place of deceit, meaning the abodes of the devils”.
