Chapter of Beginning at Mecca and Ending at Medina
وَ سَأَلَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبْدَأُ بِمَكَّةَ أَوْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ «اِبْدَأْ بِمَكَّةَ وَ اِخْتِمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَإِنَّهُ أَفْضَلُ.
Some of our companions asked Abu Ja'far عليه السلام: "Should I begin with Mecca or Medina?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "Begin with Mecca and conclude with Medina, for that is better."
