Chapter on Miscellaneous Matters Related to Hajj
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 عليه السلام: "May Allah سبحانه وتعالى make me your ransom! I have been asking you about Hajj for forty years, and you continue to provide me with answers." Imam عليه السلام replied: "O Zurara, a House that has been the site of pilgrimage two thousand years before Adam عليه السلام — do you expect its matters to be exhausted in forty years?"
