The Virtue of Mosques, Their Sanctity and the Reward for Those Who Pray in Them
وَقَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «لاَ تُشَدُّ اَلرِّحَالُ إِلاَّ إِلَى ثَلاَثَةِ مَسَاجِدَ اَلْمَسْجِدِ اَلْحَرَامِ وَ مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ مَسْجِدِ اَلْكُوفَةِ.
The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام said: "Journeys should not be undertaken except to three mosques: the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram), the Mosque of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and the Mosque of Kufa."
