رُوِيَ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ عَنْ أَخِيهِ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ جَعَلَنِيَ اَللَّهُ فِدَاكَ أَسْأَلُكَ فِي اَلْحَجِّ مُنْذُ أَرْبَعِينَ عَاماً فَتُفْتِينِي فَقَالَ «يَا زُرَارَةُ بَيْتٌ يُحَجُّ قَبْلَ آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَفْنَى مَسَائِلُهُ فِي أَرْبَعِينَ عَاماً ».
It is narrated from Bukayr ibn A'yan, from his brother Zurara, who said: I said to Abu Abdullah (a.s): "May Allah (swt) make me your ransom! I have been asking you about Hajj for forty years, and you continue to provide me with answers." Imam (a.s) replied: "O Zurara, a House that has been the site of pilgrimage two thousand years before Adam (a.s) — do you expect its matters to be exhausted in forty years?"
