Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya from Isa ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn Mahziyar with his chain of transmission, who said: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said to him: “The boundary of the ‘Mosque of Kufah’ is at the end of the area of the lamp-makers (al-sarrajin); it was marked out by Adam عليه السلام, peace be upon him, and I dislike entering it while riding.” He (narrator) said: “I asked, ‘Then who changed it from its original plan?’” Imam عليه السلام said: “The first of that was the flood in the time of Nuh عليه السلام, peace be upon him, then it was changed by the people of Kisra and al-Nu'man, then it was altered by Ziyad ibn Abi Sufyan, may the curse of Allah سبحانه وتعالى be upon him.”
