3. Muĥammad ibn Ĥasan ibn Walǐd narrated to me from Muĥammad ibn Ĥasan Al-Šaffār, from Aĥmad ibn Muĥammad, from Ĥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Faďďāl, from Ibrāhǐm ibn Muĥammad, from Faďl ibn Zakariyyā, from Najm ibn Ĥuťaym, who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir ) said: If people knew the merits of the Mosque of Kūfah, they would prepare to travel to it from far distances. Praying an obligatory prayer in the Mosque of Kūfah is equal to performing a Hajj, and praying a recommended prayer in it is equal to performing an ‘Umrah.
