إِنَّ بِالْكُوفَةِ مَسَاجِدَ مَلْعُونَةً وَ مَسَاجِدَ مُبَارَكَةً فَأَمَّا الْمُبَارَكَةُ فَمَسْجِدُ غَنِيٍّ وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ قِبْلَتَهُ لَقَاسِطَةٌ وَ إِنَّ طِينَتَهُ لَطَيِّبَةٌ وَ لَقَدْ وَضَعَهُ رَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ وَ لَا تَذْهَبُ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى تَفَجَّرَ مِنْهُ عَيْنَانِ وَ تَكُونَ عِنْدَهُ جَنَّتَانِ وَ أَهْلُهُ مَلْعُونُونَ وَ هُوَ مَسْلُوبٌ مِنْهُمْ وَ مَسْجِدُ بَنِي ظَفَرٍ وَ هُوَ مَسْجِدُ السَّهْلَةِ وَ مَسْجِدٌ بِالْخَمْرَاءِ وَ مَسْجِدُ جُعْفِيٍّ وَ لَيْسَ هُوَ الْيَوْمَ مَسْجِدَهُمْ قَالَ دَرَسَ فَأَمَّا الْمَسَاجِدُ الْمَلْعُونَةُ فَمَسْجِدُ ثَقِيفٍ وَ مَسْجِدُ الْأَشْعَثِ وَ مَسْجِدُ جَرِيرٍ وَ مَسْجِدُ سِمَاكٍ وَ مَسْجِدٌ بِالْخَمْرَاءِ بُنِيَ عَلَى قَبْرِ فِرْعَوْنٍ مِنَ الْفَرَاعِنَةِ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Amro Bin Usman, from Muhammad Bin Uzafir, from Abu Hamza, or from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘In Al-Kufa there are accursed Masjids and Blessed Masjids. So, as for the Blessed, so it is Masjid Ghaniyyin. By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Its (direction of) Qiblah is balanced and just and as its clay (is good), and a Believing man has established (founded) it, and before the end of world two fountains will gush out from it and two gardens happen to be in its presence. However, the people around it are condemned and the Masjid is taken away from them. And the Masjid of the Clan of Zafar (is another such) Masjid, And another Masjid is in Al-Khamra’a, and Masjid Ju’fy, and it is not their Masjid today’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is extinct’. So, as for the accursed Masjids, so it is Masjid Saqeef, and Masjid Al-Ash’as, and Masjid Jareer, and Masjid Simak, and Masjid at Al-Khamra’a built upon a grave of a Pharaoh from the Pharohs’.
