 I just finished at the maqam of Imam Ali ibn Hussain al-Sajjad, peace be upon him. And now I will visit the maqam of my master Sahab al-Asr al-Zaman. Peace be upon you, my awaited savior. Peace be upon you, and may Allah hasten your appearance to rid us of tyranny and oppression and to fill this world with justice and peace. We came from the maqam of my master Ali ibn Hussain al-Sajjad, peace be upon him. And now here I stand in one of the holiest places in this holy mosque of Sahla. This maqam here, this holy site here is where in my master Imam al-Mahdi, peace be upon him and may Allah hasten his reappearance was seen. Here he used to pray. Here he was seen by our ulama. My master, peace be upon him. My master blessed this land with his feet. My master blessed this land with his palms, with his forehead. My master supplicated here to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. My master prayed here to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. We have a story. We have a beautiful event, my dear brothers and sisters, to narrate to you about the master of our time, Imam al-Mahdi al-Muntadar, may Allah hasten his reappearance and may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. My master, Imam al-Mahdi has a story in this mosque and this story will be narrated. Before we continue and before we narrate this beautiful event, we promise to provide you, my dear viewer, with more sources, with more sources from our Ahl al-Bayt, from our Imams, peace be upon them, concerning the Fala'il, the merits of this mosque. This hadith that I will read to you now. The mu'moon of this hadith has been narrated before. Therefore, we will try our best to narrate what is new from the hadith. You see, we spoke before that Imam al-Sadrq, alaihi s-salam, asked his companions countless times, did my uncle Zaid ibn Ali, the martyr, the Shahid, come to Masjid al-Sihla? In the same hadith, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Abban, and this report is narrated by my master, by my, this report is narrated by Sheikh al-Kulayni in his book Al-Kafi Sharif. In this book, Sheikh al-Kulayni narrates this tradition. He narrates, he says, we entered upon Abu Abdullah, Jafar Muhammad al-Sadrq, peace be upon him, and he asked us. He said, which one of you have knowledge of my uncle Zaid ibn Ali? A man from the group said, I do have knowledge. One night, we were with Zaid ibn Ali, and we passed by the house of Muawiya ibn Ishaq al-Ansari. He said to us, let us depart to Masjid al-Sihla. My Imam al-Sadrq asked the question. He said, did my uncle Zaid go to the mosque? They said no. He said no because an issue came up, preventing him from going to the mosque. Imam al-Sadrq said, listen. By Allah, if he had sought refuge in this mosque, and if he had stayed here in a year, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala would what? Would push away the fear of this dunya for a year. If he sought refuge in this mosque, then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala would give him this refuge. Then the Imam again continues to narrate the same reports that I narrated before about Idris and Ibrahim. But for the sake of repetition, and repetition is always good, we will narrate the nas of the Imam. The Imam says, he says, did you not know that from here Prophet Idris used to reside? Here is the location where Prophet Idris used to reside, and here is where Prophet Idris used to do his tailoring. Did you not know that Prophet Abraham peace be upon him? Prophet Abraham began his march to the giants of Yemen from this mosque. Did you not know that Prophet David peace be upon him began his march towards fighting Jalut Goliath from this mosque? He says again, I'm going to repeat it because repetition is always key. He said in this mosque is a green stone. In this mosque is a green stone, and this green stone or this tablet has the image and the characteristics of every single prophet that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala had sent and that he said that from here in this mosque, the rider is in barks. Who is the rider? The rider, the green, peace be upon him. And we visited the green, peace be upon him. Here is where the green used to reside. In another tradition, with a different matmoun, a different context, he says after narrating that there is a green stone in this area that has the image of every prophet, he says that there is, under that stone is the clay from which every prophet was created. Listen, this is the merit of this mosque. Honestly, no matter how much I come to try to narrate to you, my dear viewers, about the fadah and merit of this mosque, I can be considered and called a maqasab. It's impossible, it's impossible to come and talk to you about this mosque unless you come here and actually see with your own eyes. Now, we visited the maqam of Imam Mahdi and I promised you a story. I promised you a story that I will talk about Imam Mahdi. And now we will go visit though, before we speak about Imam Mahdi. We will visit the maqam of Prophet Idris, peace be upon him. And we will narrate to you one more report, insha'Allah. And then we will begin this journey to narrate to you a beautiful event that took place in this mosque with my master Imam Mahdi. And then continue at the end to the maqam of Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad ibn Sadiq. And insha'Allah from there we will also narrate to you what happened in this mosque with Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him. With me now, insha'Allah. You see my dear viewers, there is a reason that we narrate to you more than one tradition. Even though the tradition may be your repetition. Why? Because we want to show you that there is not one or two narrations or three. No, it's mutawater. These Ahadith are mutawater, meaning they've been narrated in so much different chains. And so many different books, by so much different narrators. That we have certainty of these Ahadith, of these reports being from the Mahsoumin. And we have certainty and belief that this mosque contains this merit. Now, I mentioned that I have one report. Honestly, I may have lied because I have a couple more reports. I promise to narrate one report and we will see if time lets us narrate the other. Let us start with this report. This report, again, this report might seem like repetition but there are stuff in this report which is not narrated in other reports. But I can consider this report as the Jama'at, the complication and the gathering of other reports in one. It gives you a more beautiful picture and it talks about stuff that has not been narrated. Now, I stand by the Maqamah Prophet Idris, peace be upon him. And you saw and you witnessed and you heard that Prophet Idris, peace be upon him, is here where he took his house. We will narrate to you a different tradition now. That gives you an even clearer picture on the Fala'il of this mosque. This hadith is narrated in a Mu'tabar, reliable book, which there is a consensus amongst our scholars and alama of the authenticity and the reliability of this book. This book is narrated in none other than the book, Kamil al-Ziyarat. Kamil al-Ziyarat, the compiler, Ibn Qulawai al-Qummi, may Allah be pleased with him. He narrates this tradition in his book, Kamil al-Ziyarat. He states with his idsnad, with his chain of transmission on the authority of Abdul Rahman. Abdul Rahman says, I heard my master, Abi Abdullah Jafar bin Muhammad al-Sadaq, peace be upon him, say, Listen, I heard my master say to Aba Hamza al-Thumali. He said, O Aba Hamza, did you see my uncle Zaid Ibn Ali when he departed? Again, a different tradition speaking about Imam al-Sadaq, alaihi salam, and his uncle Zaid. He wants to see that his uncle Zaid or he wants to get this picture to us. He's asking them where he knows. The Imam knows about his uncle Zaid if he went to the mosque or did not go to the mosque. But he wants this picture to be received by us. He said, did my uncle Zaid come to the masjid? He asked him. He said, yes, I saw him when he left. The Imam, peace be upon him, says, did he pray in the mosque of Suhail? One of the names of this mosque was Suhail. Now it's called Sahla. When it was first built, it was called the mosque of Bani Zafar. And the name over time changed. The mosque right now is predominantly known as Masjid al-Sahla. Then, Abu Hamza said, do you mean al-Sahla? Other than that, if you mean al-Sahla, that means no, he did not come here and pray. Then the Imam said, if he would have prayed in this mosque, two units of prayer and seek refuge in Allah, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala would have guaranteed it for him and would have given it for him. He says that if my uncle Zaid prayed two units of prayer in this mosque and sought refuge to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, Allah would have guaranteed him the refuge. Allah would have given him this for him. Then, Abu Hamza asked the Imam. He says, may my mother be sacrificed for you. This is all for the mosque of Sahla? Is this all for this grand mosque of Sahla? The Imam said, yes, and the Imam began to narrate the Fada'il. And we will repeat it again and again and again. The Imam says, in this mosque was the house of Prophet Abraham. From here he would depart towards the giants. In this house, in this mosque was the house of Prophet Idrish, peace be upon him. And in here, in this mosque he would do his tailoring. In this mosque was the, in this embarkment plate location. When this mosque was the resting place of Al-Khudar, peace be upon him. He continues, in this mosque is a green stone in which the characteristic and image of every single prophet was ascribed on. And as well, under this clay, or under this rock is a clay in which every single prophet is created from, as I mentioned to you before. He continues, he says, from this Allah created the prophets, this clay. Then he says, there is an area in this mosque called the Me'raj and the Farooq. Now, what does this mean? According to Al-Alam al-Majlisi, and I'll read to you the Nass of Al-Alam al-Majlisi. He says, the meaning behind Me'raj could point to the reports that are narrated that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wasallam, when he ascended to the heavens, he stopped by a kufa mosque to pray. He might have, he says, he might have come to this mosque as well and from there depart again. The meaning of Me'raj, listen, the meaning of Me'raj here can also be the literal meaning. This is pointing to the gathering of the believers at this location. And from this location, the believers will head and ascend to the heavens. And then, Al-Alam al-Majlisi begins talking about Al-Farooq. He says, Farooq, it may be categorized under the Me'raj. It may be categorized under the Me'raj, meaning from here, since the Me'raj is where people ascend to the heavens, that from here as well, they will be divided between the people that go to heaven and the people that go to hell. He says, the other meaning can be pointing to that the Qa'im, Adr-Allah Ta'ala Faradu al-Sharif, may Allah hasten his appearance, that this location might be where he divides truth and falsehood. These are the meanings by Al-Alam al-Majlisi. And I myself say, this is my own saying, I say, I believe in this saying, Al-Alam al-Majlisi. It makes sense that the Me'raj here can be in this, that there's a platform here in which the believers will ascend to heavens. And the Farooq as well, where they will be divided. Because the Haqim al-Shara'i, the one who is able to perform the Islamic laws and judge by them will be Imam al-Mahdi, may Allah hasten his appearance. The Imam continues, the Imam says, the mosque is in the vicinity of the city of Kufa. And from it, mankind will depart the day of judgment. This also aids the fact that Me'raj might be this platform where the believers will be taken towards heaven or hell, depending on their judgment. He says, from here the Horn of Resurrection will be blown and mankind will be ready to gather. On the right side of the mosque, 70,000 will enter heaven without any judgment. This can be related to the 70,000 that speak of Masjid al-Kufa. Because in Masjid al-Kufa, the hadith says 70,000 in this land, in this Masjid, will enter heaven without judgment. Nama Sadaq says, they are the winners. They revere Allah and await His meeting. It's fear in meeting Him, knowing He is merciful and just. They held steadfast to follow Allah's command. They acted upon their actions and recognized that Allah has knowledge and insight of what they do. They will not be judged nor punished. And indeed Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, removes all malice, purifies the believers in every way. Then the Imam concludes. The Imam concludes. And this is the report. And now, since we have time, I will narrate to you a different report. This report is short, yet beautiful. Abia Abdullah Ja'far bin Muhammad al-Sadaq says, while speaking about Sahil al-Ghasa, I really enjoy reading such reports and such traditions. He says it is the resilience of our Qaim, of our Imam when he appears, and he will take it as his house for him and his family. This is the image that I yearn to see. This is the image that I wish I could see. Ya Allah, I wish. And every believer wishes they could see this image, this beautiful image of Imam al-Mehdi in this holy mosque. One more tradition. Alhamdulillah, we do have time. One more tradition, insha'Allah. Then we will go on and narrate the issue about Imam al-Mehdi. It is recorded as well in the Bihar of Al-Alamat al-Majlisi. From the book again, Kamil al-Ziyarat of Ibn Qulawai al-Qummi. The companion of Imam al-Sadaq, Abu Bakr al-Hadrumi, he asked Imam al-Sadaq, peace be upon him, he said, my master, which is the best mosque? Which of Allah's lands is better after the sacred sight of Allah and the messenger of Allah? My master, Abu Abdullah Jafar al-Sadaq said, Abu Bakr al-Kufa, the mosque of al-Kufa. Then he says, after that is the mosque of Sahle. The mosque of Sahle, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, has not sent any prophet except that he has prayed in this mosque. Then Imam al-Sadaq, peace be upon him, says, it is the residence of Al-Qa'im. It is the residence of Al-Qa'im and after Al-Qa'im, it is the residence of the Divine prophets and the messengers. This can relate to the fact that this lands may be so pure that Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala will take it towards heavens. Just like Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala the judgment will take Karbala to the heavens and take al-Kufa to the heavens because there are all gardens from the gardens of Paradise. My dear brothers and sisters, these are some of the narrations of this holy mosque, the mosque of Sahle, the house of my master Imam al-Mahdi al-Muntadar. In this mosque, the mosque, the house of Ibrahim, the house of Idris, and the Goliath where David, peace be upon him, went to fight Goliath. In this house, Ibrahim, peace be upon him, departed to fight the giants in Yemen. In this mosque, prayed every single prophet and messenger and successor. In this beautiful mosque, in this beautiful mosque, all of this wonders happened. In this mosque, was blessed by the Imams, by Emir al-Mu'mineen, by Imam al-Sajjad, by Imam al-Sadaq, al-Islam, by my master, Imam, al-Mahdi al-Muntadar, al-Ajrullah, al-Fargh al-Sharif, may Allah hasten his reappearance. My dear brothers and sisters, we will now narrate to you a beautiful incident that occurred here in this mosque. Now, my dear viewers, my dear brothers and sisters, we have narrated fadail of this mosque and merits of this mosque as much as we could. And time is limited. And we do not have much time. But we will, insha'Allah, conclude with two more beautiful events that happen in this mosque. The first is the man who was blessed with meeting my master Imam al-Mahdi, may Allah hasten his appearance. And the next is concerning the holy maqam of my master Imam al-Sadaq, peace be upon him. Insha'Allah, with me now we will go. We will go and witness the beauty of this mosque together. And witness the spirituality. Witness the atmosphere. And we pray that my master can see us right now because he can hear me and see my location. And I ask him right now to please pay attention, to please look at this abd, the slave. I am here serving you, my master. I am here serving you and narrating to the public, to the entire world about your beautiful home, insha'Allah. Bismillah. My dear and respected viewers, peace be upon you. I stand here at al-Mahrab, my master, Imam al-Sadaq, peace be upon him. And as you can see, the lights are off there's no more light in this mosque. And the mosque is closing down. It is unfortunate that we're not able to continue and to be able to talk about the story behind al-Mahrab and to be able to talk about the story behind Imam al-Mahdi al-Muntala, may Allah hasten his reappearance. So, I ask you, my dear viewer, to accept my forgiveness. I am very sorry. But insha'Allah, if Allah SWT grants us the chance to be able to do this again, we'll continue, insha'Allah, in a second part and talk about these beautiful stories. And I hope you enjoyed this program. And I hope you went on a spiritual journey with me and now that you're infused with new information and new spirituality. And I thank Allah SWT for this divine tawfiq that he has given us here to be able to serve my master, Imam al-Mahdi al-Ajj, Allah SWT. Thank you. Peace be upon you. Every maqam you pray two units of prayer, and you recite the dua ascribed to the maqam, to the holy sites. Here we stand at the maqam of Prophet Khudra, where he was seen in this mosque, where he still comes to this mosque and the prophets or the holy pious man, al-Khudr, because there is a difference of opinion on whether he was a prophet or whether he was a pious man.
