Reward of offering Prayer in Masjid-e-Kufa

1. Abu Baseer says that he heard Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) saying,
“Masjid-e-Kufa is a real mosque for one thousand prophets and one thousand Wasis have offered Salaat in this mosque. During the time of Nuh (a.s.), water started coming out from this place and his Ark was built over here only. Its right side possesses the pleasure of Allah. Its middle has a garden of Paradise and its left has Makr.” He asked, “What do you mean by Makr?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “It implies the buildings of Shaitaan.”

2. Muhammad bin Sinaan says that he heard Imam Reza (a.s.) say,
“The reward of offering a prayer in Masjid-e-Kufa alone is better than the reward of offering seventy prayers in congregation in other mosques.”

3. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says,
“A single prayer of Masjid-e-Kufa is equal to one thousand prayers of other mosques.”
