All of my scholars including my father and my brother narrated to me from Aḥmad ibn IdrÄ«s, from Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad, from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Muḥammad ibn âAli, from AbÄ« SaâÄ«d Al-âUsfuri, from Abil MiqdÄm âAmr ibn ThÄbit, from his father, who said: AbÅ« Jaâfar (Imam BÄqir (a.s.)) said: AllÄh, the Exalted, created, blessed, and sanctified KarbalÄ twenty-four thousand years before He created the Kaâbah.
Therefore, it was blessed and sanctified before the creation of any created being and it will remain this way. And AllÄh will make it the best land in Paradise. It will be the best abode in Paradise in which AllÄh will make His friends abide.
The above ḤadÄ«th has also been narrated to me through the following chain: My father, my brother and âAli ibn Ḥusain, from âAli ibn IbrÄhÄ«m ibn HÄshim, from his father, from Muḥammad ibn âAli, from AbÄ« SaâÄ«d âAbbÄd Al-âUsfuri, from Abil MiqdÄm âAmr ibn ThÄbit, from his father, from AbÄ« Jaâfar (a.s.).
