The Virtue of Mosques, Their Sanctity and the Reward for Those Who Pray in Them
وَ أَمَّا اَلْجَانِبُ اَلْآخَرُ: «فَذَلِكَ مَوْضِعُ فُسْطَاطِ اَلْمُنَافِقِينَ اَلَّذِينَ لَمَّا رَأَوْهُ رَافِعاً يَدَهُ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ اُنْظُرُوا إِلَى عَيْنَيْهِ تَدُورَانِ كَأَنَّهُمَا عَيْنَا مَجْنُونٍ فَنَزَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِهَذِهِ اَلْآيَةِ: « وَ إِنْ يَكٰادُ اَلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصٰارِهِمْ لَمّٰا سَمِعُوا اَلذِّكْرَ وَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُ لَمَجْنُونٌ `وَ مٰا هُوَ إِلاّٰ ذِكْرٌ لِلْعٰالَمِينَ » أَخْبَرَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِذَلِكَ حَسَّانَ اَلْجَمَّالَ لَمَّا حَمَلَهُ مِنَ اَلْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ «يَا حَسَّانُ لَوْ لاَ أَنَّكَ جَمَّالِي مَا حَدَّثْتُكَ بِهَذَا اَلْحَدِيثِ.
As for the other side (of Mosque of Quba), "That is the location of the tent of the hypocrites. When they saw him (the Prophet) raising his hand, some of them said to one another, 'Look at his eyes; they are turning as if he were a madman.' Then Archangel Jibril عليه السلام descended with this verse: 'Indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes when they hear the message and they say, "He is indeed mad." But it is nothing except a reminder to the worlds.' (Surah Al-Qalam, 68:51-52)" Al-Sadiq عليه السلام narrated this incident to Hassan al-Jammal when he accompanied him from Madinah to Makkah. Imam عليه السلام said to him: "O’ Hassan, if you were not my camel driver, I would not have narrated this story to you."
