MERITS OF MASJID AL SAHLAH
Excluding Masjid al-Kufah, no place in this region can match
Masjid al-Sahlah in merits and honor. Majid al-Sahlal was the
house of Prophet Idris ('a) and Prophet Abraham ('a). It was
also the abode of al-Khazir ('a).
Abu-Basir has reported that Imam al-Sadiq ('a), once, said to
him, "Abu-Muhammad, I see coming that the Rising (al-qa'im)
Imam ('a), accompanied by his family members and
dependants, shall reside at Masjid al-Sahlah, which he shall
betake as his house. All the Prophets that Almighty Allah
sent offered prayers at this mosque, and one who resides
there will have the reward of residing in the tent of Allah's
Messenger ('a). A true believer's heart must long for that
place, which contains a rock carrying the images of all
Prophets. Verily, any one who offers a prayer in this mosque
and beseeches Almighty Allah with sincerity shall have his
needs settled by Almighty Allah. Also, any one who betakes
this mosque as shelter shall definitely be protected by
Almighty Allah against that which frightens him."
Abu-Basir answered, "This is in fact an unmatched virtue."
The Imam ('a) added, "Yes, it is. This place is one of the
places at which Almighty Allah desires to be besought. Each
day and night and without cessation, the angels visit this
mosque to worship Almighty Allah therein. Verily, were l to
live next to that mosque, l would perform all my prayers
there. Abu-Muhammad, there is more to mention about this
mosque.'
Abu-Basir commented,
, "May Allah accept me as ransom for
you! Will the Rising Imam live there forever?"
"Yes, he will," answered the Imam ('a) etc.
