1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) كُنَّا نَقُولُ لا بُدَّ أَنْ نَسْتَفْتِحَ بِالْحَجَرِ وَنَخْتِمَ بِهِ فَأَمَّا الْيَوْمَ فَقَدْ كَثُرَ النَّاسُ.
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘We would say that we must commence our Tawaf from the Black Stone and end by the Black Stone; however, today the number of people has increased.”’
