3.  The narrator was in the company of Imam Muhammad Baqir  and there were about fifty people sitting there. After  a  long  pause,  Imam    prompted,  “What  has happened  to  you?  Probably  you  are  thinking  that  I  am  a prophet of Allah. I swear by Allah that it is not so and I am in relation with the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) and I am from his progeny. Whoever does good to us  will receive goodness from  God.  Allah  will  love  one  who  loves  us.  Allah  will deprive one who deprives us. Do you know which part of land  is  best  in  position  near  Allah?”  Everyone  remained silent. Imam  continued, “This holy Mecca is the land most  liked  by  Allah.  He  made  it  His  Sanctuary  and considered  it  as  His  house.  Do  you  know  which  part  of Mecca    is  most  honored?”  Everyone  remained  silent  and Imam  replied himself, “Masjidul Haraam is the most honored  part  of  Mecca.  Do  you  know  which  place  of Masjidul Haraam is most honored by Allah?” Everyone kept quiet  and  Imam    replied  himself  once  again,  “That place is between rukn-e-Aswad, maqaam-e-Ibrahim and the door of Kaaba. This is the place of Hateem of Ismail. He had given his sacrifice over here and offered Salaat. I swear by Allah that one who offers prayers at this place standing all night and fasts during day but if he is unaware of our rights and greatness of we, Ahle Bayt, Allah will never accept any of his deeds.”
