Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 3|Chapter 2
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي اَلصَّبَّاحِ اَلْكِنَانِيِّ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «كُلُّ ظُلْمٍ يَظْلِمُهُ اَلرَّجُلُ نَفْسَهُ بِمَكَّةَ مِنْ سَرِقَةٍ أَوْ ظُلْمِ أَحَدٍ أَوْ شَيْءٍ مِنَ اَلظُّلْمِ فَإِنِّي أَرَاهُ إِلْحَاداً وَ لِذَلِكَ كَانَ يَتَّقِي اَلْفُقَهَاءُ أَنْ يَسْكُنُوا مَكَّةَ ».
In a narration from Abu Al-Sabbah Al-Kinani, from him (Imam Abu Abdullah عليه السلام): "Every act of injustice a person commits against himself in Mecca—be it theft, oppression of someone, or any form of wrongdoing—I consider it to be deviation (ilhad). For this reason, the jurists avoided residing in Mecca."
