Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 3|Chapter 2
وَ رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يُقِيمَ بِمَكَّةَ سَنَةً» قُلْتُ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ قَالَ «يَتَحَوَّلُ عَنْهَا وَ لاَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُرْفَعَ بِنَاءٌ فَوْقَ اَلْكَعْبَةِ ».
It has been narrated by Al-‘Ala’ from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, who said: "It is not appropriate for a person to reside in Mecca for a full year." I asked: "What should he do?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "He should move away from it. Also, it is not appropriate for any building to be raised higher than the Kaaba."
