Hadith 31-292

وَبِإِسْنادِهِ عَنْ عَلِيِ‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ الكُوفَةَ، فَقالَ: يُدفَعُ عَنْها البَلاءُ كَما يُدفَعُ عَنْ أَخبِيَةِ النَّبِيُ‏ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ.

According to the same documentation, it is narrated that Ali (a.s.) talked about Kufa and said, “Some people are going to fend off calamities from Kufa, as they defended the tents of the Prophet (S).”
