You may then mention your needs. It is worth mentioning to repeat what I have already mentioned about the order of the acts at Masjid al-Kufah: Be it known to you that the order of doing the recommended acts in Masjid al-Kufah according to the opinion of the majority and according to the book of al-Mazar al-Qadim is that the acts to be done in the center of the mosque come directly after the acts at the fourth column. Hence, the acts of the seat of Judgement and the place of washtub should be the last of all, which means that they are done after the accomplishment of the acts at the seat of Imam al-Sadiq ('a) (dakkat al-sadig). In this book, l imitate the order followed by Sayyid Ibn Tawus, in his book of Misbah al-Za'ir, 'Allamah al-Majlisi, in his book of Bihar al-Anwar, and Shaykh Khazir, in his book of al-Mazar.
