My father narrated to us. He said: `Abdullah b. Ja`far al-Himyari narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. `Isa b. `Ubayd al-Yaqtini narrated to me. He said: Yunus b. `Abd al-Rahman narrated to me from `Abdullah b. Sinan from al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad . He said:

Surely, for Allah there are three hallowed things that cannot be compared: (1) His Book, which is His wisdom and His light; (2) His House, which He made as the qibla for mankind. He does not accept facing other than it from anyone; (3) and the progeny of your Prophet (s).
