1. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Yahya al-‘Attar, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Khalid, that he said: I was told by Abu Abdillah al-Razi, from Hasan bin Ali bin Abi Uthman, from Musa bin Bikr, from Abu’l-Hasan, Musa bin Ja’far, from his father, from his fathers, peace be upon them, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said
Indeed, Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, chose from the lands, four, and so He, Exalted and Glorious is He, said: «And by the Fig, Olive, the Mountain of Seeneen and this Safe Land.» (95:1-3) The Fig is Medina, the Olive is Jerusalem, the Mountain of Seeneen is Kufa, and the Safe Land is Mecca.
حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا محمد بن يحيى العطار، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن خالد، قال: حدثني أبو عبد الله الرازي، عن الحسن بن علي بن أبي عثمان عن موسى بن بكر، عن أبي الحسن موسى بن جعفر، عن أبيه، عن آبائه عليهم السلام قال
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: إن الله تبارك وتعالى اختار من البلدان أربعة فقال عز وجل: " والتين و الزيتون وطور سينين وهذا البلد الأمين " التين المدينة، والزيتون بيت المقدس، و طور سينين الكوفة، وهذا البلد الأمين مكة.
