Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Mahziyār narrated to me from his father, from his grandfather ‘Ali ibn Mahziyār, from Ḥasan ibn Maḥbūb, from ‘Ali ibn Ri`āb, from Abī ‘Ubaydah Al-Ḥadhā, who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)) said to me: O Abā ‘Ubaydah! Do not neglect establishing prayers in the Mosque of Kūfah even if you have to crawl to it because establishing one prayer there is equal to establishing seventy prayers in other mosques.
