Al-Kāfi|Volume 4|Book 3|Chapter 194
2ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عِيصِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ الزِّيَارَةِ مِنْ مِنًى قَالَ إِنْ زَارَ بِالنَّهَارِ أَوْ عِشَاءً فَلا يَنْفَجِرِ الْفَجْرُ إِلاَّ وَهُوَ بِمِنًى وَإِنْ زَارَ بَعْدَ نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ وَأَسْحَرَ فَلا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَنْفَجِرَ الْفَجْرُ وَهُوَ بِمَكَّةَ.
2. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from ‘Is ibn al-Qasim who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about visiting (the House) from Mina’. He (the Imam) said, ‘If he visits during the day or during al-‘Isha’ he must be in Mina’ before dawn. If he visits after midnight; and during the hours of dawn, then it is not harmful if it becomes dawn while he is in Makkah.’”
