کردند تا «قم» چقدر راه است؟ عرض کردند تقریبا ده فرسخ فاصله داریم. به خادم خود دستور فرمود او را به «قم» برساند. وقتی به نزدیک «قم» رسیدند آل سعد جلسه ای تشکیل داده و از آن حضرت تمنا کردند به «قم» نزول اجلال فرمایند. موسی بن خزرج بن سعد، زمام ناقه ایشان را به دست گرفته تا به منزل خود رسانید. حضرت مدت 16 روز در آنجا مستقر بود اما بر اثر بیماری سخت به رحمت ایزدی پیوست. موسی بن خزرج دستور داد آن حضرت را تغسیل وتکفین نموده و سپس بدن مطهرش را در باغ بابلان که الان محل حرم مطهر است بخاک سپارند. در ابتدا بر قبر او سقفی از حصیر زدند تا این که زینب، دختر امام نهم، برآن ساختمانی بنا کرد که در سالهای بعد تکمیل شده و زیارتگاه شیعیان عاشق اهل بیت گردید.

«اهل قم» همواره معتقد به ائمه « علیهم السلام » و عاشق آنان بوده و هستند، بطوریکه بارها مال و فرزند و جان خود را فدای اهل بیت« علیهم السلام »نموده اند. مزارع و اثاثیه زیادی بر ائمه « علیهم السلام » وقف می کردند و اول کسی که خمس برای یکی از امامان ارسال کرد از «قمی ها» بود. بسیاری از «قمی ها» مورد اکرام ائمه« علیهم السلام » قرار گرفته اند. برای مثال می توان به ابی جریر زکریا بن ادریس و زکریا بن آدم و عیسی بن عبدالله سعد و... اشاره کرد. بعضی نیز با انگشتر وخلعت اکرام شدند. عده ای از «قمی ها» پیراهنی را که امام رضا« علیه السلام »به دعبل خزائی بخشیده بود به هزار دینار طلا خریدند. امام صادق« علیه السلام » به عمران بن عبدالله قمی فرمود: «خدا بر

ص: 2

سر تو و عترتت سایه بیندازد روزی که هیچ سایه ای جز سایه او نیست»، و به برادرش عیسی بن عبدالله قمی فرمود: «تو از ما اهل بیتی» و سپس بین دو چشم او را بوسید.

در فضیلت «قم» و «قمی ها» از زبان معصومین « علیهم السلام » روایت بسیار است. اینجانب در این موضوع تحقیق نمودم ،ودر کتابخانه ها ازجمله کتابخانه مرحوم آیت الله العظمی مرعشی قدس سره جستجو کردم، و از آنجایی که کتابی با نام چهل حدیث در این موضوع نیافتم بر آن شدم تا برای استفاده طلاب عزیز چهل حدیث را جمع آوری کنم. با بهره گیری از رایانه چهل حدیث گرد آوری شد. سپس برای آنکه غیر طلاب نیز، به ویژه زائران حرم کریمه اهل بیت از این کتاب بهره گیرند به اعراب گذاری و ترجمه آن از عربی به فارسی پرداختم تا انشاءالله در سرای دیگر مرا به کار آید. در ضمن متن انگلیسی موجود که از متن فارسی ترجمه و برگردان شده است جهت استفاده زائرین کشورهای دیگر و طلاب خارجی و نیز علاقمندان به ترجمه متون اسلامی در این کتاب اضافه شده است.

امید است این اثر ناچیز مورد قبول خداوند و اهل بیت عصمت و طهارت علیهم السلام قرارگیرد؛ انشاءالله.

Compassionate ,The Most Merciful

Preface

"Qom" is not just a geographical place.It's a history. Qom is the base of uprising against tyrants. It's the base for distributing the real facts of the noble Muhammadian Islam. The prophets and messengers have given good news about Qom, stating that at the"end of times" Qom is hojjat [element of reasoning] for all people of the world.

Qom is the city of knowledge. The sun of knowledge would shine to the whole Universe from Qom. It is the land of Welayat [The Prophet's Vicegerency], and the sanctuary (shrine) of Ahl-e-Bait(a).

Qom is a holy city wherein sanctity and holiness must be preserved for ever. We can see the holy shrines of the Imams'offsprings, the mausoleums of great Shiite scholars, and Islamic traditionists, which all have turned the city to a highly-sanctified one.

ص: 5

The most famous shrine of Qom which has attracted most the attention of the Shi'ites toward itself, is the Holy Shrine of hadhrat Fatimah Ma'soumah, the daughter of Imam Mussa-ebne-Ja'far(a). According to a tradition, everybody who makes a pilgrimage to the shrine, will be definitely rewarded Paradise.

In 200 A.H.(After Hijrat)Imam Redha(a) was taken from Medina to Marve, under the command of Ma'moun. A year later, his noble sister - Fatimah Ma'soumah - left Medina for Marve eagerly to pay a visit to her brother, the Imam of her time. At her arrival in Saveh [a city near Qom], she got severly sick. "How far is Qom"? she asked her companions. "It's 60 kilometers far away", they answered. She asked her servant to take her to Qom. They were about to reach Qom, while Ale-Sa'd tribe were going out the city to welcome her and beg her to dwell in Qom.

After her arrival in Qom, Mussa-ebne-Khazraj-ebne-Sa'd took hadhrat Ma'soumah to his house. After 16 days of staying there, her holiness passed away. Her body was washed, shrouded, and burried in Babilan Garden [the present place of the Holy Shrine] as Mussa-ebne-Khazraj had ordered.

Her grave was roofed with straw for a few years, till the daughter of the ninth Imam," Zeinab bent-al-Javad ", erecting a

ص: 6

building over the grave, changed it to a mausoleum. The building was fully made some years later and turned into a place of pilgrimage for the lovers of Ahl-e-Beit [The Prophet's

household] , that is Shiites.

The people of Qom believed in Imams(a), and loved them so much that they were ready to sacrifice themselves or their offsprings for the sake of Ahl-e-Beit(a).They concecrated plenty of farmlands and the means of life to The Imams.

The person who sent "khoms" for the first time to one of the Imams, was from Qom.

The people of Qom were highly adored by the Imams. we can refer to some people such as Abi-Jorair, Zakariyya-ebne-Edris, Zakariyya-ebne-Adam, and Issa-ebne-Abdollah-e-Sa'd, who all have been adored by the Imams through being granted rings and clothes.

An example of expressing love and respect towards Imams, is that some of Qomies bought Imam Redha's shirt which had been granted as a gift to De'bel-e-khoza'ee [one of Imam Redha's companions] by his excellency. Somewhere else, Imam Sadiq(a) addressing Imran-ebne Abdollh-e-Qomi, stated: "Allah may help you to live in His Shadow [back you in all aspects of life], since He is The Most Protector. Moreover, Imam Sadiq(a) addressing Imran's brother, Issa-ebne-Abdollah-e-Qomi stated: "You are

ص: 7

one of us Ahl-e-Bait "; and then kissed between his eyes.

There are lots of traditions and narrations on the virtue of Qom and Qomies, narrated by the Fourteen Infallibles. I based my survey on the issue, and searched concerning books in several

significant libraries including Ayatollah Najafi Mar'ashi Library, and for there was no book found on the same subject, I decided to compile fourty traditions [hadith] on the virtue of Qom city and it's people. Through the help of computer, I compiled fourty traditions. Since the original texts of traditions were in Arabic and only clergymen could understand it, I translated the book into Persian to let the general people, especially the pilgrims of the holy shrine of hadhrat Ma'soumah, take advantage of it. I also got the book translated into English, so great number of people in the world can take advantage of it.

The present book, Insha'Allah [God willing], will stand good for me in the world after. I hope this little thing be accepted by God and Ahl-e-Bait(a).

color much prettier than the color of saffron, and it was more aromatic than musk. There, I saw an old man with a special long hat. I asked Gabriel where this land is. "here, is the land of your followers and the land of the followers of your successor Ali(a)",

he answered. Then I asked: "Who's the man with hat?" "That is Satan", he answered." What is he looking for in here?", I asked. "He's determined to hinder the people of this land from following Ali(a), inviting them to the sinful deeds and making them (go) astray". Gabriel answered. Then, I told: " Gabriel! Take me down there!". With an incredible speed, in a wink, he took me there. Then I shouted to Satan: "O! The Cursed Outcast! Qom! [i.e.Stand up and go away!]. Ask not the help of the people of this land; ask the help of their enemies, and seek their partnership in states, offsprings (generations) and women. You will never have my followers and the followers of Ali under your control. " This is why this land is called "Qom".(1)

یَجْتَمِعُونَ مَعَ قائِمِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَواتُ الّلهِ عَلَیْهِ وَ یَقُومُونَ مَعَهُ وَ یَسْتَقیمُونَ عَلَیْهِ وَ یَنْصُرُونَهُ.»(1)3- فضائل المؤمنین، شیخ قوام.(2)

will gather around Qa'em(1)-e-Ale-Muhammad, Imam Zaman(a), and uprise against tyranny and cruelty under his leaderhip. They are firm in obedience, and assist him with his uprising.(2)

Qom the Arch Anchorage

Abi-Muqatel Deylami, the governer of Rey [one of the cities of Iran, next to Tehran] says: "I hear that Abal-Hassan Ali-ebne-Muhammad(a), the tenth Imam, stated that the name "Qom" was given to this city, for when the Arch reached there, it stopped [In the original Arabic text "qamat"(1) and there, was a land piece of Bait-al- Moqaddass.(2)

answers were all the same, though.Then, Imam Sadiq(a) stipulated: "For certain, there is a holy shrine belonging to Allah and that is Mecca. There is a holy shrine for the Holy Prophet Rassoul-Allah and that is Medina, and there is a holy shrine for Amir-al-Mu'menin Ali (a) and that is Kufah, but there is a holy shrine particular to us "Ahl-e-beit", and that is Qom. In the near future, a woman of my oppsprirg [generation] called Fatimah, wil be burried, there. Whosoever goes on pilgrimage to her shirne, for sure, will enter the paradise in the world after. The narrator emphasizes that these statements were made by Imam Sadiq(a) [the sixth Imam] before the birth of Imam kazim(a) [the seventh Imam], while Fatimah is the daughter of Imam Kazim(a), and so clearly the grand child of Imam Sadiq(a).(1)

Heaven for the Pilgrim to Her Holiness

The eigth Imam, Ali-ebne-Mussa-al-Redha, addressing Sa'd, one of his Iranian companions, stated:"O Sa'd! There is a grave, neighbouring to you, related to us". "May I be thy ransom!" Do you mean the grave of Fatimah, the daughter of Mussa-ebne-Ja'far(a)?", Sa'd asked." Yes! One who goes on a pilgrimage to her holiness, while knowing her well and recognizing her rights, heaven is for him", Imam answered(1).

of Fatimah Ma'soumah equals to heaven.(1)

"At the time the earth is not secure and safe any longer, when men ride horses to fight and keep away from women and perfumes( i,e. the situation is so terrible that they do not think of the life pleasures ), then run away from them." May I be thy ransom! Where to shall we escape?" I said. " To Kufah or nearby villages (the country), or to Qom and the nearby villages, since calamity and affliction is far from these two.(1)

" O Gabriel! What's that dome? " I asked him. " O my beloved Muhammad! It is the perspective of a city called "Qom". The faithful servants of God will gather in it and wait for Mohammad's intercession in the day of judgement. They will be exposed to lots of difficulties, sufferings, vexations and mockeries for the sake of their strong beliefs." Gabriel answered. Someone asked Imam Ali-al-Naqi(a) in the mean time: "When will they be the most waiting for the appearance of Imam Mahdi(aj)?" "When the earth is covered by plenty of water." Imam answered.(1)

«هر گاه بلاء و رنجی به شما رسد به «قم» پناه برید زیرا «قم» جایگاه فرزندان فاطمه است. اگر کسی قصد سوئی نسبت به «قم» و اهلش نماید خداوند اورا ذلیل وخوار نموده و از رحمتش دور خواهد کرد.»(1)

"Qom the Center for

the Offspring of Fatimah(s)"

Muhmmad-ebne-Ja'far has quoted from his father Imam Sadiq(a): "Whenever a disaster or a dreadful plight happens to you, seek refuge (from them) in Qom; since, there, is the dwelling of Fatimah's(a) offspring. Whosoever wishes ill for Qom and it's nation, Allah will make him contemptible, abject and disgraced; and He will keep him away from His Mercy.(2)

Shiites. But, Woe betied the two sides of "Rey", and surely, the security of Rey is on the part of Qom and Qomi people." Afterwards they asked, " Where are the two sides of Rey ?" "Baqdad is on one side, and Khorassan is on the other side. In Rey, a battle will take place between Khorassani and Baqdadi forces, then Allah will hasten their chastisement, and they do perish. Then, some people of Rey will take refuge in Qom and Qomies will grant them refuge. Afterwards, they will move into another place called Ardestan(1)."(2)

الْاَرْضُ وَ لَمْ یُنْظَرُوا طَرْفَةَ عَیْنٍ وَ اَنَّ الْبَلایا مَدْفُوعَةٌ عَنْ «قُمْ» وَ اَهْلِهِ وَ سَیَأْتی زَمانٌ تَکُونُ بَلْدَةُ «قُمْ»وَ اَهْلُها حُجَّةً عَلَی الْخَلائِقِ وَ ذلِکَ فی زَمانِ غِیْبَةِ قائِمِنا علیه السلام اِلی ظُهُورِهِ وَ لَوْلا ذلِکَ لَساخَتِ الْاَرْضُ بِاَهْلِها وَ اَنَّ الْمَلائِکَةَ لَتَدْفَعُ الْبَلایا عَنْ «قُمّْ»وَ اَهْلِهِ وَ ما قَصَدَهُ جَبّارٌ بِسُوآءٍ اِلاّ قَصَمَهُ قاصِمُ الْجَبّارینَ. وَ شَغَلَهُ عَنْهُمْ بِداهِیَةٍ اَوْ مُصیبَةٍ اَوْ عَدُّوٍ وَ یُنْسِی الّلهُ الْجَبّارینَ فی دَوْلَتِهِمْ ذِکْرَ «قُمّْ» وَ اَهْلَهُ کَما نَسُوا ذِکْرَ الّلهِ(1)

حضرت، و اگر چنین نبود زمین اهل خودش را فرو می برد. ملائکه بلایا را از «قم» و «قمیون»، دفع می کنند و اگر ظالمی قصد سوئی به «قم» کند، قاصم الجبارین او را شکست می دهد، و ظالم را بوسیله بلای سخت یا مصیبت یا دشمن از بلا رساندن به قم باز می دارد، و خداوند «قم» واهل «قم» رااز خاطرشان می برد چنانکه آنان خدا را از یاد برده اند.(1)

"People of Qom are Hojjat(2) for Other People"

It is narrated from Imam Sadiq(a) that he stated: "God reasons with people of cities through people of Kufah and with all people of East and West including human being and jinn through people of Qom. God will never leave Qom and it's people miserable. Aiding and confirming the people of Qom, God will make them successful.The religion and it's real

followers are treated with contempt in Qom, and if it weren't so; people would rush into Qom, making it and it's dwellers corrupt, and thus they were not hojjat(reason) for other lands' people any longer. Under these circumsances, the earth and sky could not be stable and would be shattered in no time. Definitely,

ص: 32

calamities and afflictions are kept away from Qom and Qomies by God. Some time will come, in the close future, when people of Qom become hojjat over other people and this begins at the time of Imam Mahdi's(aj) Occultation and lasts up to his glorious appearanace. If it were not like this, the earth would swallow it's dwellers. The angels also preserve Qom and Qomies from disaster under the command of God. If a tyrant wishes bad for Qom, Qassem-al-Jabbareen[The Annihilater of supreme powers,i.e.,Allah] will defeat him, keeping him engaged with enemies, plight or a severe misfortune to the extent that he will forget about Qom and it's people as he would have forgotten The Almighty God.(1)

ridicule them. However, Allah will keep them safe from the evil of any foes or disasters.(1)

رود سپس علم در شهری که به آن «قم» گویند ظاهر می شود، و آنجا معدن علم و فضل می گردد به طوری که در زمین مستضعف دینی باقی نمی ماند، حتی زنان پرده نشین . واین نزدیک ظهور قائم ماست. خداوند «قم» و «قمی ها» را قائم مقام حجت خود قرار می دهد. و اگر اینگونه نباشد زمین اهل خودش را فرو می برد، و بنابراین در زمین برهانی باقی نمی ماند، و علم از «قم » به شرق و غرب عالم منتشر می گردد. بنا براین حجت خدا بر خلق تمام می شود، تا باقی نماند در زمین کسی که دین و علم باو نرسد. سپس حضرت قائم(عج) ظهور

خواهد کرد که انکار آن حضرت سبب عقوبت و غضب خداوند بربندگان می گردد. زیرا خداوند انتقام نمی گیرد از بندگانش مگر بعد از انکار حجت او.»(1)

Qom The Base of Islamic Seminary

School and Mine of Knowledge

Imam Sadiq(a) reminsced about Kufah and said: "Before long, the faithful will evacuate Kufah, and knowledge will descend there as a snake goes into a hole, and will ascend in a city called Qom. There, will become the mine of knowlege and excellence; in a manner that there will remain nobody unaware of religion even the housewives, and that is about the

ص: 38

reappearance of our Upholder- Imam Mahdi(aj). Allah has selected Qom and Qomi citizens as the deputy (caliphs) of His Hojjat(1) and if it werent so, the earth would engulf its inhabitants, thus no proof would be left on the earth. Knowledge will be diseminated from Qom to East and West of the Globe. Here with, God's reasoning elements and ultimatum is delivered to the people, so that nobody does remain on the earth to whom religion and knowledge have not reached. Afterwards, the Riser(aj) will appear, and denial of him will result in Allah's

chastisement and wrath upon the servants, for the fact that, He does not take revenge from His servants unless after denial of His Hojjat."(2)

حضرت مهدی (عج) شد، پس حضرت درود فرستاد بر آنها و فرمود: «خداوند از آنان راضی باشد. سپس ایشان فرمودند: برای بهشت هشت در هست و یکی از آن درها برای «اهل قم» است و آنان برگزیده شیعیان ما هستند از بین سایر شهرها. خداوند متعال ولایت مارا با طینت آنها عجین کرده است.»(1)

"The Chosen Shiites Are from Qom"

In the presence of the seventh Imam(a), some companians reminsced about Qom, Qomies and their willingness toward Imam Mahdi(aj). Then his majesty sent greetings to Qomies and stated: "May Allah be pleased with them", then said: There exist eight gates for the Heaven, one of which belongs to the people of Qom. They are the chosen ones, stronger in belief than our Shiites in other cities, and The Most Almighty has mixed our

successorship(welayat)with their nature.(2)

النّاسَ مِنْهُمْ فَقُلْنا جُعِلْنا فِداکَ فَاَیْنَ الْمَفْزَعُ وَ الْمَفَرُّ فی ذلِکَ الزَّمانِ؟ فَقالَ : «اِلیَ الْکُوفَةَ وَ حَوالیها وَ اِلی «قُمّْ»وَ نَواحیها ثّمَّ قالَ: فی «قُمّْ» شیعَتُنا وَمَوالینا وَ تَکْثُرُ فیهاَ الْعِمارَةُ وَ یَقْصِدُهُ النّاسُ وَ یَجْتَمِعُونَ فیهِ حَتّی یَکُونَ الْجَمْرُ بَیْنَ بَلْدَتِهِمْ»(1)

disastrous consequences were talked about. Afterwards, we said:"May we be thy ransom, where is the refuge during the conspiracy? he said: "Kufah, and it's suburbs, and Qom and it's suburbs."; then told: "In Qom there exist our Shiites and beloved friends. Qom will be flourished and people will be inclined towards it and will gather there, so that the Jamar(1) will be placed at the middle of the city.(2)

(4) told me: "Do you know a place called Var Ardehar?" " Yes,I do. I have two pieces of farming land, there."

His majesty said: "Keep them", and three times repeated: "Is a good position Var Ardehar."(1)

"Three Gates of the Heaven Belong

to the Qomi people"

The eighth Imam, Ali-ebne-Mussa-al-Redha said: "There exist eight doors for the Heaven, three of which are allocated to the people of Qom, so; Happy are Qomies, Happy are Qomies."(1)

«چون نخستین وعده فرا رسد، مردانی پیکار جو بر آنها (بنی اسرائیل ) می فرستیم(حتی برای بدست آوردن مجرمان) تا خانه ها را جستجو کنند و این وعده ایست قطعی». عرض کردیم: قربانت گردیم این مردان چه کسانی هستند؟ پس حضرت سه مرتبه فرمود: «به خدا قسم اینها مردانی از «اهل قم» هستند.»(1)

"The People of Qom Will Be Victorious Over Israel"

One of Imam Sadiq's(a) companions narrated: "I was in the presence of Imam Sadiq(a), and he recited this Quranic verse: "While the foremost promise comes along, We will send some combatants upon them (sons of Israel), and We will have the

combatants investigate homes (even to arrest the law breakers), and it is an absolute promise." Then, I asked: "May I be thy ransom, who are those combatants? "Swear by God, they are men of Qom." His majesty repeated three times.(2)

اراده کرده ام از «قم» و خانواده ام بیرون روم زیرا سفیهان زیاد شده اند. حضرت علی بن موسی الرضا علیه السلام به او فرمود: « این کار را نکن زیرا به واسطه تو بلاء از اهل «قم» دفع می شود چنانکه بلاء از اهل بغداد به خاطر پدرم امام کاظم علیه السلام دفع می شود.»(1)

"Qomies Warded off From Calamity due

to Mercy of Allah Upon His True

Servant- Zakariyya-ebne-Adam"

In the presence of Imam Redha(a), Zakariyya-ebne-Adam said: "I am going to leave Qom, for the foolish have increased". Then Ali-ebne-Musa-al-Redha (a)said: "Don't do so, for the fact that people of Qom are warded off from calamity and misfortune for your sake, as people of Baghdad are kept away from calamity for the sake of my father, Imam Kazim(a)"(2).

الْمِلْحِ فیِ الْماءِ ثُمَّ اَشارَ اِلی عیسیَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الّلهِ فَقالَ سَلامُ الّلهِ عَلی اَهْلِ «قُمّْ»یَسْقِی الّلهُ بِلادَهُمُ الْغَیْثَ وَ یُنَزِّلُ الّلهُ عَلَیْهِمُ الْبَرَکاتِ وَ یُبَدِّلُ الّلهُ سَیِّئاتِهِمْ حَسَناتٍ هُمْ اَهْلُ رُکُوعٍ وَ سُجُودٍ وَ قِیامٍ وَ قُعُودٍ هُمُ الْفُقَهاءُ الْعُلَماءُ الْفُهَماءُ هُمْ اَهْلُ الدِّرایَةِ وَ الرِّوایَةِ وَ حُسْنِ الْعِبادَةِ.»(1)

be upon the people of Qom. He will make Qom satiated with rain, and will shower His Grace on them, and will change their bad deeds to good acts. Indeed, they are people of ruku', sojud, qiyam and qo'oud. They are foqaha(jurists), scholars and people of understanding and study; they are thinkers and lead their life according to the Shiite narrations and traditions, and worship Allah very sincerely."(1)

اهل آبه (1) آمرزیده هستند زیرا جدم علی بن موسی الرضا علیهماالسلام را در طوس، زیارت می کنند و کسی که زیارت کند او را و قطره ای از باران باو برسد، (کنایه از اینکه حتی سختی اندکی ببیند) خداوند جسدش را بر آتش حرام می کند.»(2)

"The People of Qom and

Abeh Are Blessed"

His majesty Abdul Azeem-al-Hassani [of the offsprings of Imam Hassan-al-Mojtaba(a), whose shrine is in Rey (a city near Tehran)] narrates from the tenth Imam- Imam Ali-ebne-Muhammad-al-Askari(a) that:"People of Qom and Abeh(3) are blessed, since they go on pilgrimage to my grandfather, Ali-ebne-Mussa-al-Redha in Toos, and whosoever goes on pilgrimage to his shrine; even if a drop of rain reaches him[i.e, even the smallest trouble he faces], The Almighty will not let his body in the fire of the hell.(4)

mecifully and compassionately, and appointed His Messenger Muhammad, as "the bearer and warner" for you, and granted you the success of accepting His religion [Islam], and by

means of His Guidance respected you; And in the hearts of your ancestors and offsprings, He has planted the kindness of the Guiding Household (Ahl-e-Beit) like a tree.(1)

«مرحبا به شما وخوش آمدید، شما بحق شیعیان ما هستید. زمانی بر شما می آید که تربت مرا در طوس زیارت می کنید. آگاه باشید کسی که زیارت کند مرا حالیته غسل کرده باشد، از گناهانش خارج می شود مثل روزی که از مادر متولد شده باشد.»(1)

"The People of Qom Our True Shiites"

Abi-al-Salt-al-Herawi narrates that: "I was in the presence of Imam Redha(a), when some people from Qom entered and greeted. Imam(a) greeted,too, and seated them beside himself. Then said: "Well done and welcome! Indeed, you are our true Shiites. Some time will come that you will go on pilgrimage to my grave in Toos. Be aware that having performed ghosl(ablution), anybody who goes on pilgrimage to my grave, his sins will be totally forgiven and he will get pure as the day he was born from his mother."(2)

«قُمّْ»مُقَدَّسَةٌ وَ اَهْلُها مِنّا وَ نَحْنُ مِنْهُمْ لا یُریدُهُمْ جَبّارٌ بِسُوآءٍ اِلاّ عُجِّلَتْ عُقُوبَتُهُ ما لَمْ یَخُونُوا اِخْوانَهُمْ فَاِذا فَعَلُوا ذلِکَ سَلَّطَ الّلهُ عَلَیْهِمْ جَبابِرَةَ سُوآءٍ، اَما اِنَّهُمْ اَنْصارُ قائِمِنا وَ دُعاةُ حَقِّنا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ اِلَی السَّماءِ وَ قالَ: اَلّلهُمَّ اَعْصِمْهُمْ مِنْ کُلِّ فِتْنَةٍ وَ نَجِّهِمْ مِنْ کُلِّ هَلَکَةٍ.»(1)

can, Allah will soon overthrow and chastise him. If Qomies betrayed one another, Allah will make the cruel ones dominant over them. Afterwards facing towards the sky, Imam Sadiq(a) prayed so: "O Lord! Keep them away from(committing) any conspiracies, and save them from any perditions(1)

al-Redha(a), that: "Whenever plight and disaster [here: war, oppression, secularism, moral corruption, etc.] surrounded everywhere, resort to Qom and it's surroundings, for the fact that calamity is removed from there.(1)

"Teflis"(1) from among all cities."(2)

"Companions of Imam Mahdi(aj)

Will Rise From Qom"

Abu-Mussa Ash'ari narrates: "I asked Imam Ali(a) that where the safest city and best place will be when plight and disaster is widespread and battle is broken out world-wide." Then Imam Ali(a) answered: "At such a time, the safest city is Ardh-al-Jabal...; Therefore, the safest place is Qom at the time, and that is a city where it's people along with their fathers and mothers, grand fathers and grand mothers, aunts and uncles...will rise against tyranny, cruelty and opression as companions of Imam Mahdi (aj) in his great uprising."(1)

لَها «قُمّْ»فَاِنَّهُمْ یُحاسَبُونَ فی حُفَرِهِمْ وَ یُحْشَرُونَ مِنْ حُفَرِهِمْ اِلیَ الْجَنَّةِ ثُمَّ قالَ:«اَهْلُ «قُمّْ» مَغْفُورٌ لَهُمْ قالَ فَوَثَبَ الرَّجُلُ عَلی رِجْلَیْهِ وَ قالَ: یاَ ابْنَ رَسُولِ الّلهِ هذا خاصَّةٌ لِاَهْلِ «قُمّْ»؟ قالَ: نَعَمْ وَ مَنْ یَقُولُ بِمَقالَتِهِمْ ...»(1)

nobody before me and will not be posed even after me. Then his majesty answered: "Probably, you want to ask about The Resurrection?" He answered: "Yes,I do. Upon The One who appointed Muhammad deservedly as "The Bearer and Warner", my question is nothing but that. Then Imam(a) said: "The place of The Resurrection is Jerusalem for all, except for those in Ardh-al-Jabal called Qom, and they[their past deeds in the world] will be reckoned in their own graves and will be resurrected from there, and will go to the Heaven. Then the man stood up and said: "O son of The Prophet, Is that only especial to the people of Qom?" "Yes, It is; And to anybody who has strong faith and belief as theirs." Imam answered.(1)

The eighth Imam- Imam Redha(a)- told Sad: "O Sad, We have a grave among you." Sa'd asked: "May I be thy ransom! Is it the grave of the daughter of Mussa, Fatimah?" Imam said: "Yes, it is. Anybody who goes on pilgrimage to her shrine while has learned about her right, the Heaven belongs to him." Then Imam added: "Whenever you pay a visit to her grave, stand upwards her head and towards Qiblah and recite "الله اکبر" [Allah-o-Akbar] 34 times "سبحان الله" [Sobhanallah] 33 times, and "الحمد لله" [Alhamdolellah] 33 times, then you should recite:[the Arabic text of ziyarat].
