11. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Abī ‘Abdillāh Muḥammad ibn Abī ‘Abdillāh Al-Rāzi Al-Jāmūrāni, from Ḥusain ibn Sayf ibn ‘Amīrah, from his father Sayf, from Abī Bakr Al-Ḥaďrami, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام) or Abā Ja’far (Imam Bāqir عليه السلام), “What is the best place after Masjid Al-Ḥarām and the Mosque of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم?” Imam عليه السلام replied: Kūfah. O Abā Bakr! Kūfah is the purified and the virtuous land. It contains the graves of the messengers, the prophets, and the truthful successors. It (also) contains the Mosque of Suhayl in which every prophet sent by Allāh has prayed. The Justice of Allāh (the Twelfth Imam عليه السلام) will (also) reappear from this city. The rising Imam عليه السلام and those who will lead after him will also live in it. It is indeed the abode of the prophets, the successors, and the righteous ones.
