3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from certain individuals of our people from al-Hassan ibn Ali from ibn abu Hamzah from abu Basir who have said the following
“I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘The Masjid of Kufah is a very good Masjid. One thousand prophets and one thousand executors of the wills of the prophets have performed Salah (prayer) in it. The oven (of Noah) was there wherefrom water gushed forth and the Ark was carved there-from. Its right side houses the matters of the pleasure of Allah, its center houses a garden of the gardens of paradise and its left side lodges evil planners.’ I (the narrator) asked abu Basir, ‘What is meant by evil-planning?’ He replied, ‘It is a reference to the houses of the sultans (kings). ’Amir al- Mu’minin, would stand at the door of the Masjid then throw an arrow, which would reach the places of the sellers of dates and then say, “That is part of the Masjid.” He would also say, “What is reduced from the basis of the Masjid is like what is reduced from its square.’””
3ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ نِعْمَ الْمَسْجِدُ مَسْجِدُ الْكُوفَةِ صَلَّى فِيهِ أَلْفُ نَبِيٍّ وَأَلْفُ وَصِيٍّ وَمِنْهُ فَارَ التَّنُّورُ وَفِيهِ نُجِرَتِ السَّفِينَةُ مَيْمَنَتُهُ رِضْوَانُ الله وَوَسَطُهُ رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ وَمَيْسَرَتُهُ مَكْرٌ فَقُلْتُ لأَبِي بَصِيرٍ مَا يَعْنِي بِقَوْلِهِ مَكْرٌ قَالَ يَعْنِي مَنَازِلَ السُّلْطَانِ وَكَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُومُ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ ثُمَّ يَرْمِي بِسَهْمِهِ فَيَقَعُ فِي مَوْضِعِ التَّمَّارِينَ فَيَقُولُ ذَاكَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ قَدْ نُقِصَ مِنْ أَسَاسِ الْمَسْجِدِ مِثْلُ مَا نُقِصَ فِي تَرْبِيعِهِ.
