696 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلْأَصْبَغِ بْنِ نُبَاتَةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: بَيْنَا نَحْنُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ حَوْلَ أَمِيرِ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي مَسْجِدِ اَلْكُوفَةِ إِذْ قَالَ
«يَا أَهْلَ اَلْكُوفَةِ لَقَدْ حَبَاكُمُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِمَا لَمْ يَحْبُ بِهِ أَحَداً مِنْ فَضْلِ مُصَلاَّكُمْ بَيْتِ آدَمَ وَ بَيْتِ نُوحٍ وَ بَيْتِ إِدْرِيسَ وَ مُصَلَّى إِبْرَاهِيمَ اَلْخَلِيلِ وَ مُصَلَّى أَخِي اَلْخَضِرِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ مُصَلاَّيَ
وَ إِنَّ مَسْجِدَكُمْ هَذَا لَأَحَدُ اَلْأَرْبَعَةِ اَلْمَسَاجِدِ اَلَّتِي اِخْتَارَهَا اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِأَهْلِهَا وَ كَأَنِّي بِهِ قَدْ أُتِيَ بِهِ يَوْمَ اَلْقِيَامَةِ فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ أَبْيَضَيْنِ يَتَشَبَّهُ بِالْمُحْرِمِ وَ يَشْفَعُ لِأَهْلِهِ وَ لِمَنْ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ فَلاَ تُرَدُّ شَفَاعَتُهُ وَ لاَ تَذْهَبُ اَلْأَيَّامُ وَ اَللَّيَالِي حَتَّى يُنْصَبَ اَلْحَجَرُ اَلْأَسْوَدُ فِيهِ
وَ لَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَيْهِ زَمَانٌ يَكُونُ مُصَلَّى اَلْمَهْدِيِّ مِنْ وُلْدِي وَ مُصَلَّى كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ وَ لاَ يَبْقَى عَلَى اَلْأَرْضِ مُؤْمِنٌ إِلاَّ كَانَ بِهِ أَوْ حَنَّ قَلْبُهُ إِلَيْهِ فَلاَ تَهْجُرُوهُ وَ تَقَرَّبُوا إِلَى اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِالصَّلاَةِ فِيهِ وَ اِرْغَبُوا إِلَيْهِ فِي قَضَاءِ حَوَائِجِكُمْ فَلَوْ يَعْلَمُ اَلنَّاسُ مَا فِيهِ مِنَ اَلْبَرَكَةِ لَأَتَوْهُ مِنْ أَقْطَارِ اَلْأَرْضِ وَ لَوْ حَبْواً عَلَى اَلثَّلْجِ.
Hadith.696 - It has been reported from Al-Asbagh ibn Nubata that He said:
One day while we were with Amir al-Mu'minin in the Mosque of Kufa, Imam
said:
"O’ people of Kufa, Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has blessed you with something no one else has been blessed with—the virtue of your place of prayer, which was the house of Adam, the house of Noah, the house of Idris, the place of prayer of Ibrahim the Friend (Khalil), the place of prayer of my brother al-Khidr
, and my place of prayer.
This mosque of yours is one of the four mosques chosen by Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, for its people.
I can see it on the Day of Judgment, coming in two white garments, resembling a pilgrim in ihram, and it will intercede for its people and for those who pray in it; its intercession will not be rejected. The days and nights will not pass until the Black Stone is placed in it.
A time will come when it will be the place of prayer for the Mahdi from my descendants and the place of prayer for every believer. No believer will remain on the earth without either being there or having their heart yearn toward it.
So, do not abandon it. Seek nearness to Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, by praying in it, and turn to Him to fulfil your needs in it.
If people knew the blessings it contains, they would come to it from all corners of the earth, even if they had to crawl on ice."
