Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34620 — Reports on the virtue of Kufah

Jundub al-Azdi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "We set out with Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) towards the place called al-Hirah. Then he (may Allah be pleased with him) turned towards Kufa and said: 'It is the tent of Islam. No huts are defended as these are defended, except the huts in which Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was. And the world will not end until every believer gathers in it, or a man whose desire is directed towards it.'"
