Hadith 611
۞
Hadith.2313 - It has been narrated from Abu Hamzah Al-Thumali, who said
Imam Ali ibn Al-Husayn (as) said to us: "Which is the most virtuous place?"
We replied: "Allah (swt), His Messenger, and the son of His Messenger know best."
Imam (as) said: "The most virtuous place is what lies between the Rukn (corner of the Kaaba) and the Maqam (Station of Ibrahim). If a man were to live as long as Nuh (as) did among his people—one thousand years less fifty—fasting by day and praying by night in that place, and then met Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, without our Wilayah (allegiance), it would not benefit him in any way."
2313 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ اَلثُّمَالِيِّ قَالَ
قَالَ لَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ : «أَيُّ اَلْبِقَاعِ أَفْضَلُ» فَقُلْنَا اَللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ اِبْنُ رَسُولِهِ أَعْلَمُ فَقَالَ «أَمَّا أَفْضَلُ اَلْبِقَاعِ مَا بَيْنَ اَلرُّكْنِ وَ اَلْمَقَامِ وَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً عُمِّرَ مَا عُمِّرَ نُوحٌ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي قَوْمِهِ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ إِلاَّ خَمْسِينَ عَاماً يَصُومُ اَلنَّهَارَ وَ يَقُومُ اَللَّيْلَ فِي ذَلِكَ اَلْمَكَانِ ثُمَّ لَقِيَ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِغَيْرِ، وَلاَيَتِنَا لَمْ يَنْفَعْهُ ذَلِكَ شَيْئاً».
