1. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Yahya al-‘Attar, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Khalid, that he said: I was told by Abu Abdillah al-Razi, from Hasan bin Ali bin Abi Uthman, from Musa bin Bikr, from Abu’l-Hasan, Musa bin Ja’far, from his father, from his fathers, peace be upon them, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: Indeed, Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, chose from the lands, four, and so He, Exalted and Glorious is He, said: «And by the Fig, Olive, the Mountain of Seeneen and this Safe Land.» (95:1-3) The Fig is Medina, the Olive is Jerusalem, the Mountain of Seeneen is Kufa, and the Safe Land is Mecca.
