عَنْهُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ اَلْخَزَّازِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قَالَ« بِالْكُوفَةِ مَسْجِدٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَسْجِدُ اَلسَّهْلَةِ لَوْ أَنَّ عَمِّي زَيْداً أَتَاهُ فَصَلَّى فِيهِ وَاِسْتَجَارَ اَللَّهَ لَأَجَارَ لَهُ اَللَّهُ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فِيهِ مُنَاخُ اَلرَّاكِبِ» قِيلَ وَ مَنِ اَلرَّاكِبُ قَالَ« اَلْخَضِرُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ بَيْتُ إِدْرِيسَ اَلنَّبِيِّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ مَا أَتَاهُ مَكْرُوبٌ قَطُّ فَصَلَّى فِيهِ مَا بَيْنَ اَلْعِشَاءَيْنِ فَدَعَا اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلاَّ فَرَّجَ اَللَّهُ كُرْبَتَهُ»
From him, from Amr ibn Uthman, from Husayn ibn Bakr, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Sa'id al-Khazzaz, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “In Kufah, there is a mosque called the ‘Mosque of al-Sahlah’. If my uncle Zayd had gone to it and prayed in it and sought refuge with Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Allah سبحانه وتعالى would have granted him refuge for twenty years. In it is the resting place of the ‘Rider’.” It was asked: “And who is the ‘Rider’?” Imam عليه السلام said: “Al-Khidr عليه السلام, peace be upon him, and the house of Idris عليه السلام the Prophet, peace be upon him. And no distressed person has ever come to it and prayed in it, between the two evening prayers, and supplicated to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Mighty and Majestic, except that Allah سبحانه وتعالى relieved his distress.”
