5-76 Muhammad ibn al-Hassan - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ahmad ibn Idris quoted Muhammad ibn Ahmad, on the authority of Abi Ishaq Ibrahim ibn Hashim, on the authority of Amr ibn Uthman, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Azafer, on the authority of Abi Hamzih al-Somali, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Muslim that Abi Ja’far al-Baqir (MGB) said, “There are five blessed and the five cursed mosques in Kufa. The blessed mosques are: the Qena Mosque which has a straight direction to the Qibla and clean soil. A believing man has built it. This world will not end until two springs emerge from it and two gardens will grow there. However, those who attend that mosque are damned and the mosque hates them. The other ones are the Bani Zafar Mosque, the Al-Sahleh Mosque, a mosque in Al-Khamra, and the Ja’fi Mosque - not the mosque that exists today since that mosque has been ruined. The five cursed mosques are: the Saqif Mosque, the Mosque of Al-Ashas (ibn Qays Al-Kindi. It is said that he had built a pulpit in that mosque and continuously insulted Ali (MGB) from it), the Jarir al-Bajaly Mosque, the Samak Mosque and a Mosque in Khamra which was built upon the grave of one of the Pharaohs.”
