1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Amr ibn ‘Uthman from Muhammad ibn ‘ Adhafir from abu Hamzah or from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following
“In Kufa there are condemned Masjids and blessed Masjids. One of the blessed Masjids is the Masjid of Ghany. By Allah, the direction of Qiblah thereof is balanced and just and its soil is blessed. A believing man established it and before the end of the world, two fountains will gush forth there-from with two gardens nearby. However, the people around it are condemned and the Masjid is taken away from them. Banu Zafar’s, al-Sahlah Masjid, is another such Masjid. Another Masjid is in al-Khumrah and yet another one is Al-Ju‘fiy Masjid and today it is not their Masjid. He said, ‘It is destroyed.’ “Other condemned Masjid are Saqif, al-Ash‘ath and Jarir Masjids. There is also Sammak Masjid in al-Khumrah which is built on the grave of a pharaoh of the pharaohs.”
1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُذَافِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَوْ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
إِنَّ بِالْكُوفَةِ مَسَاجِدَ مَلْعُونَةً وَمَسَاجِدَ مُبَارَكَةً فَأَمَّا الْمُبَارَكَةُ فَمَسْجِدُ غَنِيٍّ وَالله إِنَّ قِبْلَتَهُ لَقَاسِطَةٌ وَإِنَّ طِينَتَهُ لَطَيِّبَةٌ وَلَقَدْ وَضَعَهُ رَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ وَلاَ تَذْهَبُ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى تَفَجَّرَ مِنْهُ عَيْنَانِ وَتَكُونَ عِنْدَهُ جَنَّتَانِ وَأَهْلُهُ مَلْعُونُونَ وَهُوَ مَسْلُوبٌ مِنْهُمْ وَمَسْجِدُ بَنِي ظَفَرٍ وَهُوَ مَسْجِدُ السَّهْلَةِ وَ مَسْجِدٌ بِالْخَمْرَاءِ وَمَسْجِدُ جُعْفِيٍّ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ الْيَوْمَ مَسْجِدَهُمْ قَالَ دَرَسَ فَأَمَّا الْمَسَاجِدُ الْمَلْعُونَةُ فَمَسْجِدُ ثَقِيفٍ وَمَسْجِدُ الأشْعَثِ وَمَسْجِدُ جَرِيرٍ وَمَسْجِدُ سِمَاكٍ وَمَسْجِدٌ بِالْخَمْرَاءِ بُنِيَ عَلَى قَبْرِ فِرْعَوْنٍ مِنَ الْفَرَاعِنَةِ.
