15. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ya’qub ibn Yazid from abu al-Faraj al-Sindiy who has said the following: “I once was performing Tawaf along with abu ‘Abd Allah , and he said,

‘Which of these has a greater importance?’ I then said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause; you know better than I do.’ He (the Imam) repeated his question to me. I then said, ‘Inside the House has more importance.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘Al-Yemaniy corner is a door of the doors of paradise which is open for the Shi`a of the family of Muhammad, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, and is closed to others. Whoever of the believing people prays near this (corner), his prayer climbs up until it attaches to the Throne. There is no barrier between it (prayer) and Allah.’”
