Forty Ahadith on Hajj
- Three Sacred Things =======================
عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللٌّهِ (ع) قَالَ: إِنَّ لِلٌّهِ عَزّ َوَ جَلَّ حُرُمَاتٌ ثَلاَثٌ لَيْسَ مِثْلَهُنَّ شَيْءٌ: كِتَابُهُ وَ هُوَ حُكْمُهُ وَ نُورُهُ وَ بَيْتُهُ الَّذِي جَعَلَهُ قِبْلَةً لِلنَّاسِ لاَ يَقْبَلُ مِنْ أَحَدٍ تَوَجُّهَا إِلـى غَيْرِهِ وَ عِتْرَةِ نَبِيِّكُمْ.
It has been narrated from Abi ‘Abdillah [Imam Ja’far Ibn Muhammad
as-Sadiq] (peace be upon him) who said, “Surely Allah, the Noble and
Grand, has made three things sacred and there is nothing else equivalent
to them: His Book (the Qur’an) which is His Command and Divine Light;
His House (The Ka’bah) which He has made as the focal point (Qiblah) and
He will not accept from anyone facing any other direction; and the
family of your Prophet.”
