Al-Kafi 8119

Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Hilal, from Uqba Bin khalid who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah^asws, ‘We go to the Masjids which are around Al-Medina, so which of these should I begin with?’ Begin with (Masjid) Quba, so Pray <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> therein and frequent it, for it is the first Masjid in this earth wherein Rasool-Allah^saww Prayed. Then go to the drinking place of Umm Ibrahim^as, so Pray <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> therein, and it is a dwelling of Rasool-Allah^saww and his^saww Praying place. Then go to Masjid Al Fazeekh, so Pray <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> therein, for your Prophet^saww had Prayed <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> in it. When you have fulfilled this side, go to the side of Ohad, so begin with the Masjid which is besides Al-Harra, so Pray therein. Then pass by the grave of Hamza Bin Abdul Muttalib^as, and greet upon him^as. Then pass by the graves of the martyrs, so stay by them and said, ‘The greetings be upon you, O people of the houses! You have preceded us and we would be meeting you’. Then go over to the Masjid which was in the expanse to the side of the mountain, on your right where you entered Ohad, so Pray <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> therein, for the Prophet^saww went out to Ohad from it where he^saww met (in battle) the Polytheists. But, he^saww did not move-ahead until the time for the <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> presented itself, so he^saww Prayed therein. Then return after (visiting) those so you Pray <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> by the graves of the martyrs what Allah^azwj has Ordained for you. Then go upon your direction until you get to the Masjid Al-Ahzaab, so you Pray <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> in it, and you supplicate to Allah^azwj in it, for Rasool-Allah^saww supplicated therein on the day of (the battle of) Al-Ahzaab and said: ‘O Helper in distress, and O Responder to the supplication of the desperate ones! O Helper of the distressed one, Remove my^saww stress, and my^saww grief, for You^azwj have Seen my^saww state and the state of my^saww companions’’.
