Chapter on Virtues of Hajj
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 3|Chapter 2
وَ مَنْ أَقَامَ بِمَكَّةَ سَنَةً فَالطَّوَافُ أَفْضَلُ لَهُ مِنَ اَلصَّلاَةِ وَ مَنْ أَقَامَ سَنَتَيْنِ خَلَطَ مِنْ ذَا وَ ذَا وَ مَنْ أَقَامَ ثَلاَثَ سِنِينَ كَانَتِ اَلصَّلاَةُ أَفْضَلَ لَهُ ».
Whoever resides in Makkah for one year, performing Tawaf is better for them than prayer. Whoever resides for two years should alternate between Tawaf and prayer. Whoever resides for three years, prayer becomes better for them.
