Hadith 698
۞
Hadith.697 - As for the Mosque of Al-Sahla, Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said:
"If my uncle Zayd had sought refuge in it, Allah (swt) would have protected him for a year. This is the location of the house of Idris (as), where he used to sew, and it is the place from which Ibrahim (as) departed to the Amalekites.
It is also the place from which David (as) set out to confront Goliath. Beneath it lies a green stone that contains the image of the face of every prophet created by Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic. From beneath it, the clay (substance) of every prophet was taken. It is also the place of the Rider."
He was asked
"And who is the Rider?"
Imam (as) said: "Al-Khidr (as)."
