2299 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : «فِي خَمْسَةٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ مِنْ ذِي اَلْقَعْدَةِ أَنْزَلَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اَلْكَعْبَةَ اَلْبَيْتَ اَلْحَرَامَ فَمَنْ صَامَ ذَلِكَ اَلْيَوْمَ كَانَ كَفَّارَةَ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً وَ هُوَ أَوَّلُ يَوْمٍ أُنْزِلَتْ فِيهِ اَلرَّحْمَةُ مِنَ اَلسَّمَاءِ عَلَى آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ ».
Hadith.2299 - It has been narrated from Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as) that he said:
"On the 25th of Dhu al-Qa'dah, Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, sent down the Kaaba, the Sacred House. Whoever fasts on that day will have the expiation of seventy years of sins. It is also the first day on which mercy was sent down from the heavens upon Adam (as)."
2141 - وَ مَنْ لَبَّى فِي إِحْرَامِهِ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً إِيمَاناً وَ اِحْتِسَاباً أَشْهَدَ اَللَّهُ لَهُ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ بِبَرَاءَةٍ مِنَ اَلنَّارِ وَ بَرَاءَةٍ مِنَ اَلنِّفَاقِ وَ مَنِ اِنْتَهَى إِلَى اَلْحَرَمِ فَنَزَلَ وَ اِغْتَسَلَ وَ أَخَذَ نَعْلَيْهِ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ اَلْحَرَمَ حَافِياً تَوَاضُعاً لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَحَا اَللَّهُ عَنْهُ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ سَيِّئَةٍ وَ كَتَبَ اَللَّهُ لَهُ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ حَسَنَةٍ وَ بَنَى اَللَّهُ لَهُ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ دَرَجَةٍ وَ قَضَى لَهُ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ حَاجَةٍ وَ مَنْ دَخَلَ مَكَّةَ بِسَكِينَةٍ وَ وَقَارٍ غَفَرَ اَللَّهُ لَهُ ذَنْبَهُ وَ هُوَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَهَا غَيْرَ مُتَكَبِّرٍ وَ لاَ مُتَجَبِّرٍ وَ مَنْ دَخَلَ اَلْمَسْجِدَ حَافِياً عَلَى سَكِينَةٍ وَ وَقَارٍ وَ خُشُوعٍ غَفَرَ اَللَّهُ لَهُ وَ مَنْ نَظَرَ إِلَى اَلْكَعْبَةِ عَارِفاً بِحَقِّهَا غَفَرَ اَللَّهُ لَهُ ذُنُوبَهُ وَ كَفَى مَا أَهَمَّهُ ».
Hadith.2141 - Whoever recites the Talbiyah seventy times during their state of Ihram with faith and sincere intention, Allah (swt) makes a thousand angels bear witness to their freedom from the Fire and freedom from hypocrisy.
Whoever reaches the Haram, stops, performs a ritual bath (ghusl), takes their sandals in their hands, and enters the Haram barefoot in humility before Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, Allah (swt) erases one hundred thousand sins from them, records one hundred thousand good deeds for them, raises them by one hundred thousand degrees, and fulfills one hundred thousand of their needs.
Whoever enters Makkah with tranquility and dignity, Allah (swt) forgives their sins, provided they enter without arrogance or oppression. Whoever enters the Sacred Mosque barefoot, with tranquility, dignity, and humility, Allah (swt) forgives their sins.
Whoever looks at the Kaaba, recognizing its sanctity, Allah (swt) forgives their sins and suffices them in their concerns.
2300 - وَ قَالَ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : « لَيْلَةُ خَمْسَةٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ مِنْ ذِي اَلْقَعْدَةِ دُحِيَتِ اَلْأَرْضُ مِنْ تَحْتِ اَلْكَعْبَةِ فَمَنْ صَامَ ذَلِكَ اَلْيَوْمَ كَانَ كَمَنْ صَامَ سِتِّينَ شَهْراً ».
Hadith.2300 - Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as) said:
"On the night of the 25th of Dhu al-Qa'dah, the earth was spread out from beneath the Kaaba. Whoever fasts on that day, it is as if they have fasted for sixty months."
2142 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : «مَنْ نَظَرَ إِلَى اَلْكَعْبَةِ عَارِفاً فَعَرَفَ مِنْ حَقِّنَا وَ حُرْمَتِنَا مِثْلَ اَلَّذِي عَرَفَ مِنْ حَقِّهَا وَ حُرْمَتِهَا غَفَرَ اَللَّهُ لَهُ ذُنُوبَهُ كُلَّهَا وَ كَفَاهُ هَمَّ اَلدُّنْيَا وَ اَلْآخِرَةِ.
Hadith.2142 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Whoever looks at the Kaaba, recognizing its sanctity and our right and sanctity as they recognize its right and its sanctity, then Allah (swt) will forgive all their sins and suffice them in their concerns of this world and the Hereafter."
2143 - وَ رُوِيَ : «أَنَّ مَنْ نَظَرَ إِلَى اَلْكَعْبَةِ لَمْ يَزَلْ تُكْتَبُ لَهُ حَسَنَةٌ وَ تُمْحَى عَنْهُ سَيِّئَةٌ حَتَّى يَصْرِفَ بِبَصَرِهِ عَنْهَا ».
Hadith.2143 - It has been narrated: "Whoever looks at the Kaaba continuously will have a good deed written for them and a sin erased from them until they turn their gaze away from it."
2301 - وَ سَأَلَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ اَلْعِجْلِيُّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : أَيَّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ مَوْضِعُ اَلْبَيْتِ حَيْثُ كَانَ اَلْمَاءُ فِي قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ تَعَالَى: «وَ كٰانَ عَرْشُهُ عَلَى اَلْمٰاءِ» قَالَ «كَانَتْ مَهَاةً بَيْضَاءَ يَعْنِي دُرَّةً.
Hadith.2301 - Muhammad ibn Imran Al-'Ijli asked Abu Abdullah (as):
"What was the location of the House (Kaaba) when the water existed, as mentioned in the words of Allah (swt), the Exalted: 'And His Throne was upon the water'?"

2144 - وَ رُوِيَ : «أَنَّ اَلنَّظَرَ إِلَى اَلْكَعْبَةِ عِبَادَةٌ وَ اَلنَّظَرَ إِلَى اَلْوَالِدَيْنِ عِبَادَةٌ وَ اَلنَّظَرَ فِي اَلْمُصْحَفِ مِنْ غَيْرِ قِرَاءَةٍ عِبَادَةٌ وَ اَلنَّظَرَ إِلَى وَجْهِ اَلْعَالِمِ عِبَادَةٌ وَ اَلنَّظَرَ إِلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ عِبَادَةٌ ».
Hadith.2144 - It has been narrated: "Looking at the Kaaba is an act of worship, looking at one's parents is an act of worship, looking at the Quran without recitation is an act of worship, looking at the face of a scholar is an act of worship, and looking at the family of Muhammad (as) is an act of worship."
2302 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي خَدِيجَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : «أَنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْزَلَهُ لآِدَمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مِنَ اَلْجَنَّةِ وَ كَانَ دُرَّةً بَيْضَاءَ فَرَفَعَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِلَى اَلسَّمَاءِ وَ بَقِيَ أُسُّهُ وَ هُوَ بِحِيَالِ هَذَا اَلْبَيْتِ يَدْخُلُهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ لاَ يَرْجِعُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَبَداً فَأَمَرَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِبُنْيَانِ اَلْبَيْتِ عَلَى اَلْقَوَاعِدِ».
Hadith.2302 - In a narration from Abu Khadijah, from Abu Abdullah (as):
"Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, sent the House (Kaaba) down to Adam (as) from Paradise. It was a white pearl. Allah (swt) then raised it back to the heavens, leaving its foundation, which corresponds to this House (the Kaaba). Every day, seventy thousand angels enter it and never return to it again.
Then Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, commanded Ibrahim and Isma'il (as) to build the House upon its foundations."
2145 - وَ قَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : «اَلنَّظَرُ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عِبَادَةٌ».
