3ـ مُحَمَّدٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ وَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ جَمِيعاً عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ الله عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَدَّاحِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) الْبَيْتُ الَّذِي يُقْرَأُ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ وَيُذْكَرُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيهِ تَكْثُرُ بَرَكَتُهُ وَتَحْضُرُهُ الْمَلائِكَةُ وَتَهْجُرُهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ وَيُضِيءُ لأهْلِ السَّمَاءِ كَمَا تُضِيءُ الْكَوَاكِبُ لأهْلِ الأرْضِ وَإِنَّ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي لا يُقْرَأُ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ وَلا يُذْكَرُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيهِ تَقِلُّ بَرَكَتُهُ وَتَهْجُرُهُ الْمَلائِكَةُ وَتَحْضُرُهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ.

It shines to the inhabitants of the heaven just as stars shine to the people of the earth. A house where the Holy Quran is not read, and Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, is not spoken of, its blessings reduce, angels leave it and devils crowd therein.’”
