Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 3|Chapter 2
[نُكَتٌ فِي حَجِّ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَالْمُرْسَلِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ] قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «أَتَى آدَمُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ هَذَا اَلْبَيْتَ أَلْفَ أَتْيَةٍ عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ مِنْهَا سَبْعُمِائَةِ حَجَّةٍ وَ ثَلاَثُمِائَةِ عُمْرَةٍ وَ كَانَ يَأْتِيهِ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ اَلشَّامِ وَ كَانَ يَحُجُّ عَلَى ثَوْرٍ وَ اَلْمَكَانُ اَلَّذِي يَبِيتُ فِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلْحَطِيمُ وَ هُوَ مَا بَيْنَ بَابِ اَلْبَيْتِ وَ اَلْحَجَرِ اَلْأَسْوَدِ وَ طَافَ آدَمُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى حَوَّاءَ مِائَةَ عَامٍ وَ قَالَ لَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ حَيَّاكَ اَللَّهُ وَ بَيَّاكَ يَعْنِي أَضْحَكَكَ اَللَّهُ.
Notes on the Pilgrimage of Prophets and Messengers, Peace Be Upon Them All: Abu Ja'far عليه السلام said: "Adam عليه السلام came to this House a thousand times on foot; of these, seven hundred were pilgrimages (Hajj), and three hundred were minor pilgrimages ('Umrah). He used to come from the direction of Sham (Syria) and performed the pilgrimage on a bull. The place where he stayed عليه السلام was the Hatim, which is the area between the door of the House and the Black Stone. Adam عليه السلام circumambulated the House for one hundred years before he looked at Hawwa (Eve). Archangel Jibril عليه السلام said to him, 'May Allah سبحانه وتعالى grant you life and bless you,' meaning that, 'May Allah سبحانه وتعالى bring joy to you.'"
