Source (Persian)
و عن أنس بن مالک رضی اللّه عنه قال قال رسول اللّه - صلّی اللّه عليه و سلّم - انّ فی السّواحل مدينة معلّقة تحت ساق العرش يقال لها عکّاء من بات فيها مرابطا احتسابا للّه تعالی کتب اللّه له ثواب الصّابرين و القائمين و الرّاکعين و السّاجدين الی يوم القيامة *
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Anas, son of Malik - may God be pleased with him - hath said: "The Apostle of God - may the blessings of God and His salutations be upon Him - hath said: ‘By the shore of the sea is a city, suspended beneath the Throne, and named ‘Akká. He that dwelleth therein, firm and expecting a reward from God - exalted be He - God will write down for him, until the Day of Resurrection, the recompense of such as have been patient, and have stood up, and knelt down, and prostrated themselves, before Him.'"
