Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, Made Makkah a Sacred Place When He Created the Skies and Earth

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Nu’aman from Sa‘id al-’A‘raj who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that when Quraysh demolished al-Ka‘bah, they found in its foundations a stone with a writing on it which could not be read properly. They found a man who was able to read and this was written on it, ‘I am Allah, owner of Bakkah, which I made sacred on the day I created the skies and earth. I placed it between these two hills and made seven angels to guard it.’”
