3. Abul ‘Abbās Al-Kūfi narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khattāb, from Abī Sa’īd Al-‘Usfuri, from ‘Amr ibn Thābit, from his father Abū Ja’far (a.s) who said
"Allāh, the Blessed and the Exalted, created, blessed, and sanctified the land of Karbalā twenty-four thousand years before He created the Ka’bah. He blessed it and sanctified it before the creation of any created being and it will remain this way until Allāh (ascends it to Paradise and) appoints it as the best land in Paradise. It will be the best abode in Paradise in which Allāh will make His friends abide."
4 حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْكُوفِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْعُصْفُرِيِّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (ع) قَالَ
خَلَقَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَرْضَ كَرْبَلَاءَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ الْكَعْبَةَ بِأَرْبَعَةٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ عَامٍ وَ قَدَّسَهَا وَ بَارَكَ عَلَيْهَا فَمَا زَالَتْ قَبْلَ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ الْخَلْقَ مُقَدَّسَةً مُبَارَكَةً وَ لَا تَزَالُ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَجْعَلَهَا اللَّهُ أَفْضَلَ أَرْضٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ أَفْضَلَ مَنْزِلٍ وَ مَسْكَنٍ يُسْكِنُ اللَّهُ فِيهِ أَوْلِيَاءَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ
