3 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا عَنْ نَجْمِ بْنِ حُطَيْمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (ع) قَالَ لَوْ يَعْلَمُ النَّاسُ مَا فِي مَسْجِدِ الْكُوفَةِ لَأَعَدُّوا لَهُ الزَّادَ وَ الرَّاحِلَةَ مِنْ مَكَانٍ بَعِيدٍ وَ قَالَ صَلَاةٌ فَرِيضَةٌ فِيهِ تَعْدِلُ حِجَّةً وَ نَافِلَةٌ فِيهِ تَعْدِلُ عُمْرَةً
3. Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn Walīd narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan Al-Saffār, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Faďďāl, from Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad, from Faďl ibn Zakariyyā, from Najm ibn Ḥuťaym, who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir 
) said: If people knew the merits of the Mosque of Kūfah, they would prepare to travel to it from far distances. Praying an obligatory prayer in the Mosque of Kūfah is equal to performing a Hajj, and praying a recommended prayer in it is equal to performing an ‘Umrah.
