2. Muĥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Qurashi Al-Razzāz narrated to me from Muĥammad ibn Ĥusain, from Muĥammad ibn Sinān, from Abǐ Sa’ǐd Al-Qammāť, from ‘Umar ibn Yazǐd Bayyā’ Al-Sāburi, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Šādiq ) said: The land of the Ka’bah (once) said, “Who is like me, for Allāh has built His house on me, people from far distances come to me, and I have been chosen as Allāh’s Ĥaram and His safe sanctuary?” Allāh revealed to it: Stop speaking and calm down!!! I swear to My Glory and My Magnificence that your honour compared to the honour which I have granted to the land of Karbalā is like the amount of (a drop of) water on a needle that has been dipped in the sea. If it was not for the dust of Karbalā, I would not have honoured you. If it was not for that which is held within the land of Karbalā, I would not have created you nor would I have created the house about which you boasted. Therefore, settle down, calm down, and become humbled, lowly, humiliated, disgraced, and degraded in front of the land of Karbalā. Do not be proud nor arrogant in front of it or I will make you sink and throw you in the fires of Hell. The above Ĥadǐth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: My father and ‘Ali ibn Ĥusain, from ‘Ali ibn Ibrāhǐm ibn Hāshim, from his father, from Muĥammad ibn ‘Ali, from Abǐ Sa’ǐd ‘Abbād Al-‘Ušfuri, from ‘Umar ibn Yazǐd Bayyā’ Al-Sāburi, from Ja’far ibn Muĥammad (Imam Šādiq ).
