Al-Kafi 5707

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abu Yusuf Yaqoub Bin Abdullah Bin Wulid Abu Fatima, from Ismail Bin Zayd, a slave of Abdullah Bin Yahya Al Kahily, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘A man came over to Amir Al-Momineen^asws, and he^asws was in Masjid Al-Kufa. So he said, ‘The greetings be upon you^asws, O Amir Al-Momineen^asws, and the Mercy of Allah^azwj and His^azwj Blessings’. So he^asws returned (the greeting). So he said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^asws! I intend (to go to) Masjid Al-Aqsa, so I wanted to greet upon you^asws, and bid you^asws farewell’. So he^asws said to him: ‘And which thing do you want with that?’ So he said, ‘The merit, may I be sacrificed for you^asws’. He^asws said: ‘So sell your riding animal and all of your provisions, and go to this Masjid Grand Mosque of Al-Kufa), for the <span class="iTxt">Obligatory Salāt</span> therein (equates to) a correct Hajj, and the optional (<span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> equates to) a correct Umra, and the Blessings in it are upon twelve miles to its right, but its left is disliked, and in the middle of it is a spring of oil, and a spring of milk, and a spring of water, being a drink for the Believers, and a spring of water for the Believers to clean from. The ship of Noah^as sailed from here. And (unfortunately) in it were (placed the idols of) Nasr, and Yagous, and Yaouq and seventy Prophets^as prayed <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> therein, and seventy successors^as. I^asws am one of them^as’. And he^asws said with his^as hand upon his^asws chest: ‘A worried one will not supplicate in it with asking for a need from the needs except that Allah^azwj would Answer him and Relive him from his worries’.
