Is Salat (Prayer) or Tawaf More Excellent?
Al-Kāfi|Volume 4|Book 3|Chapter 126
2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ الطَّوَافُ لِغَيْرِ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الصَّلاةِ وَالصَّلاةُ لأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ أَفْضَلُ.
2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz ibn ‘Abd Allah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that performing Tawaf is more excellent for those who do not reside in Makkah, and for those who reside in Makkah, performing salat (prayer) is more excellent.”
