1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from al-Husayn ibn abu al-‘Ala’ who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Mu‘awiyah was the first person who built door-jambs for his house in Makkah and prevented the pilgrims to the House of Allah to use it, against the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, ‘Both resident and nonresident have equal right to use it.’ (22:24) The people arriving in Makkah, who were not residents, would stay with residents until the end of Hajj season. Mu‘awiyah was the person of the chains about which Allah, the most Blessed, the most High, has said, ‘With the chain which is seventy yards long, (you must) chain him; He did not believe in Allah, the Great.’ (69:31-32) He was the pharaoh of this nation.’”

2. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Washsha’ from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from Yahya’ ibn abu al-‘ Ala’ who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the houses of Makkah did not have any doors. People of other lands would come with their transporting animals, enter and stay there. The first person who installed doors on them was Mu‘awiyah.”
