Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 3|Chapter 2
وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اِخْتَارَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَيْئاً وَ اِخْتَارَ مِنَ اَلْأَرْضِ مَوْضِعَ اَلْكَعْبَةِ ».
It has been narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام that he said: "Indeed, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, chose something special from everything, and He chose from the earth the location of the Kaaba."
