وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عِيسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْهَاشِمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «كَانَ مَوْضِعُ اَلْكَعْبَةِ رَبْوَةً مِنَ اَلْأَرْضِ بَيْضَاءَ تُضِيءُ كَضَوْءِ اَلشَّمْسِ وَ اَلْقَمَرِ حَتَّى قَتَلَ اِبْنَا آدَمَ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ فَاسْوَدَّتْ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ آدَمُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ رَفَعَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ اَلْأَرْضَ كُلَّهَا حَتَّى رَآهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذِهِ لَكَ كُلُّهَا قَالَ يَا رَبِّ مَا هَذِهِ اَلْأَرْضُ اَلْبَيْضَاءُ اَلْمُنِيرَةُ قَالَ «هِيَ حَرَمِي فِي أَرْضِي وَ قَدْ جَعَلْتُ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَطُوفَ بِهَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ سَبْعَمِائَةِ طَوَافٍ» ».
In a narration from Isa ibn Abdullah Al-Hashimi, from his father, from Imam Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, from his father عليه السلام: "The location of the Kaaba was a raised area of white earth that radiated like the light of the sun and the moon until one of Adam's sons killed his brother, and it darkened. When Adam عليه السلام descended, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, raised the entire earth for him to see and said, 'This is all yours.' Adam said: 'My Lord عز وجل, what is this radiant, white land?' Allah سبحانه وتعالى replied: 'This is My sanctuary on My earth, and I have made it incumbent upon you to circumambulate it seven hundred times every day.'"
