قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مِنْ أَيْنَ أَدْخُلُ مَكَّةَ وَ قَدْ جِئْتُ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ ادْخُلْ مِنْ أَعْلَى مَكَّةَ وَ إِذَا خَرَجْتَ تُرِيدُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَاخْرُجْ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ مَكَّةَ.
“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘From which point should I enter Makkah when coming from al-Madinah?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘Enter from the upper side of Makkah and leave it from its lower part.’”
أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ بَدَأَ بِمَنْزِلِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَطُوفَ.
“’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), after arriving in Makkah, first, would go to his lodging before performing Tawaf.”
إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَ طَهِّرْ بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّائِفِينَ وَ الْقائِمِينَ وَ الرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ[1] فَيَنْبَغِي لِلْعَبْدِ أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَ مَكَّةَ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ طَاهِرٌ قَدْ غَسَلَ عَرَقَهُ وَ الْأَذَى وَ تَطَهَّرَ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has said in His book, ‘Cleanse My house for those who perform Tawaf, and Ttikaf, those who do Ruku‘ and those who do Sajdah therein.’ (22:28) A servant (of Allah) should not enter Makkah without cleansing, washing his perspiration and so
إِذَا انْتَهَيْتَ إِلَى الْحَرَمِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَاغْتَسِلْ حِينَ تَدْخُلُهُ وَ إِنْ تَقَدَّمْتَ فَاغْتَسِلْ مِنْ بِئْرِ مَيْمُونٍ أَوْ مِنْ فَخٍّ أَوْ مِنْ مَنْزِلِكَ بِمَكَّةَ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that when you, by the will of Allah, enter al-Haram (the sacred area), take a shower upon your arrival; but if you take it before your arrival, then take a shower in Bi’r Maymun (name of a place) or in Fakhkh or in your lodging in Makkah.’”
أَمَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنْ نَغْتَسِلَ مِنْ فَخٍّ قَبْلَ أَنْ نَدْخُلَ مَكَّةَ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), commanded us to take Ghusl (bath) from Fakhkh before entering Makkah.”
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِذَا انْتَهَيْتَ إِلَى بِئْرِ مَيْمُونٍ أَوْ بِئْرِ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ فَاغْتَسِلْ وَ اخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ وَ امْشِ حَافِياً وَ عَلَيْكَ السَّكِينَةَ وَ الْوَقَارَ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When you arrive at Bi’r Maymun or Bi’r ‘Abd al- Samad, then take Ghusl (bath), take off your sandals and walk barefoot with calmness and dignity.’”
قَالَ لِي إِنِ اغْتَسَلْتَ بِمَكَّةَ ثُمَّ نِمْتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطُوفَ فَأَعِدْ غُسْلَكَ.
“Abu al-Hassan (a.s.), once said to me, ‘If you take Ghusl (bath) in Makkah then go to sleep, then before Tawaf, take Ghusl (bath) again.’”
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَغْتَسِلُ لِدُخُولِ مَكَّةَ ثُمَّ يَنَامُ فَيَتَوَضَّأُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ أَ يُجْزِئُهُ ذَلِكَ أَوْ يُعِيدُ قَالَ لَا يُجْزِئُهُ لِأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا دَخَلَ بِوُضُوءٍ.
“I once asked abu Ibrahim (a.s.), about a man who takes Ghusl (bath) for entering Makkah then goes to sleep, then takes wudu’ before entering, if it is sufficient or he needs to do it again. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not sufficient because he has entered with wudu’ only.”’ (Fatwa best explains Ahadith 5-8 of this Chap
أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ دَخَلَهَا بِسَكِينَةٍ غُفِرَ لَهُ ذَنْبُهُ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ يَدْخُلُهَا بِسَكِينَةٍ قَالَ يَدْخُلُ غَيْرَ مُتَكَبِّرٍ وَ لَا مُتَجَبِّرٍ[1]
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that one who enters Makkah in a dignified manner, his sins are forgiven. I then asked, ‘How can one enter in a dignified manner?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘One should enter Makkah without being arrogant and oppressive.’”
لَا يَدْخُلُ مَكَّةَ رَجُلٌ بِسَكِينَةٍ إِلَّا غُفِرَ لَهُ قُلْتُ مَا السَّكِينَةُ قَالَ يَتَوَاضَعُ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that whoever enters Makkah in a dignified manner his sins are forgiven. I (the narrator) then asked, ‘What is a dignified manner?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘It is humbleness.’”
إِذَا دَخَلْتَ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ فَادْخُلْهُ حَافِياً عَلَى السَّكِينَةِ وَ الْوَقَارِ وَ الْخُشُوعِ وَ قَالَ وَ مَنْ دَخَلَهُ بِخُشُوعٍ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ قُلْتُ مَا الْخُشُوعُ قَالَ السَّكِينَةُ لَا تَدْخُلْهُ بِتَكَبُّرٍ فَإِذَا انْتَهَيْتَ إِلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَقُمْ وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ مِنَ ا
“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that when you enter Masjid al-Haram (the Sacred Masjid), you should be barefoot, in a dignified, serene and humble manner.’ He (the Imam) said, ’One who enters in a humble manner, Allah forgives his sins by His will.’ I (the narrator) then asked, ’What is al-Khushu’ (humbleness)?’ He (
تَقُولُ وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ- بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَ عَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ خَيْرُ الْأَسْمَاءِ لِلَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص السَّلَامُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَى أَنْبِيَاءِ اللَّهِ وَ رُسُلِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى

Abu Basir has narrated who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that you should say this when you are at the door of Masjid al-Haram (the Sacred Masjid). ‘(I begin) with the help of the name of Allah, with Allah, from Allah, with whatever Allah wishes and according to the religion of t

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr and Muhammad ibn Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from ibn abu ‘Umayr and Safwan ibn Yahya has narrated from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that when you go close to the Black
