Hadith.693 - Abu Basir said: "I heard Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) say: "What a blessed mosque is the Mosque of Kufa! A thousand prophets and a thousand successors (of prophets) have prayed in it. From it 'the oven gushed forth' (a reference to the flood of Noah). In it, the Ark was built. Its right side is the Ridwan of Allah (swt), its center is a garden from the gardens of Paradise, and its left side is a place of deceit, meaning the abodes of the devils”.

Hadith.695 - The Prophet, said: "When I was taken on the Night Journey (Isra'), I passed by the site of the Mosque of Kufa while I was on al-Buraq, with Archangel Jibril (as) accompanying me. Archangel Jibril (as) said to me, 'O’ Muhammad, descend and pray at this place.' So, I descended and prayed. Then I asked: 'O’ Archangel Jibril (as), what is this place?' Archangel Jibril (as) said: 'O’ Muhammad, this is Kufa, and this is its mosque. As for me, I have seen it twenty times in a state of ruin and twenty times in a state of prosperity, with five hundred years between each state.'"

Hadith.696 - It has been reported from Al-Asbagh ibn Nubata that He said: One day while we were with Amir al-Mu'minin (as) in the Mosque of Kufa, Imam (as) said: "O’ people of Kufa, Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has blessed you with something no one else has been blessed with—the virtue of your place of prayer, which was the house of Adam, the house of Noah, the house of Idris, the place of prayer of Ibrahim (as) the Friend (Khalil), the place of prayer of my brother al-Khidr (as), and my place of prayer. This mosque of yours is one of the four mosques chosen by Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, for its people. I can see it on the Day of Judgment, coming in two white garments, resembling a pilgrim in ihram, and it will intercede for its people and for those who pray in it; its intercession will not be rejected. The days and nights will not pass until the Black Stone is placed in it. A time will come when it will be the place of prayer for the Mahdi from my descendants and the place of prayer for every believer. No believer will remain on the earth without either being there or having their heart yearn toward it. So, do not abandon it. Seek nearness to Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, by praying in it, and turn to Him to fulfil your needs in it. If people knew the blessings it contains, they would come to it from all corners of the earth, even if they had to crawl on ice."
