4 وَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ مُفَضَّلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَرَضَ وَلَايَتَنَا عَلَى أَهْلِ الْأَمْصَارِ فَلَمْ يَقْبَلْهَا إِلَّا أَهْلُ الْكُوفَةِ وَ إِنَّ إِلَى جَانِبِهَا قَبْراً لَا يَأْتِيهِ مَكْرُوبٌ فَيُصَلِّي عِنْدَهُ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ إِلَّا رَجَّعَهُ اللَّهُ مَسْرُوراً بِقَضَاءِ حَاجَتِهِ

4. Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan Al-Saffār, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Faďďāl, from Mufaďďal ibn Sāliḥ, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Ali Al-Ḥalabi, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq ) said: Verily Allāh offered our Wilāyah to the inhabitants of different lands but no one accepted it (immediately) except the inhabitants of Kūfah. Verily there is a grave near it to which no anguished person goes and next to which he prays four Rak’ah without Allāh sending him back pleased, with his requests fulfilled.
