8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Mu‘awiyah ibn Wahab who has said the following:

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , ‘Did the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, say, “Between my house and my pulpit is a garden of the gardens of paradise?”’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘Yes, he did say so.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘The house of Ali and Fatimah, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, is between the house of the Holy Prophet and the door which is parallel to the alley toward al-Baqi‘.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If you enter through that door, the wall is on the side of your left shoulder.’ He (the Imam) them mentioned other houses and said, ‘The Messenger of Allah has said, “Performing salat (prayer) in my Masjid is equal to one thousand salat (prayer) in other places except Masjid al-Haram (the Sacred Masjid) where it is more virtuous.’””
