10. Sahl ibn Ziyad has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman from Jamil ibn Darraj who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘ Abd Allah , say,

‘The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, “Between my pulpit and my houses is a garden of the gardens of paradise and my pulpit is a passageway of the passageways of paradise. Performing one salat (prayer) in my Masjid is equal to one thousand salat (prayer) in other Masjids except Masjid al-Haram (the Sacred Masjid).’ Jamil has said, ‘I then asked, is the house of Ali , of the houses of the Holy Prophet?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘Yes, it is. In fact it is the best of them.’”
