سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ أَفْضَلِ مَوْضِعٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يُصَلَّى فِيهِ قَالَ الْحَطِيمُ مَا بَيْنَ الْحَجَرِ وَ بَابِ الْبَيْتِ قُلْتُ وَ الَّذِي يَلِي ذَلِكَ فِي الْفَضْلِ فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ عِنْدَ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ( عليه السلام ) قُلْتُ ثُمَّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ فِي الْفَضْلِ قَالَ فِي الْحِجْرِ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ الَّذِي يَلِي ذَلِكَ قَالَ كُلَّمَا دَنَا مِنَ الْبَيْتِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Al Hassan Bin Al Jaham who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup> about the most superior place in the Masjid to be Prayed in. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘الْحَطِيمُ’ ‘Al-Hateem, what is between the (Black) Stone and the Door of the House (Kabah)’. I said, ‘And that which follows that in superiority?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> mentioned that it was by the Standing Place of Ibrahim<sup>as</sup>’. I said, ‘Then which (spot) follows it in superiority?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘By the (Black) Stone’. I said, ‘Then which (spot) follows that?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Every (spot) what is closest to the House (Kabah)’.
