Excellence of Performing Salat (Prayer) in Masjid al-Haram (the Sacred Masjid) and the Best Place Therein
7ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَقُومُ أُصَلِّي بِمَكَّةَ وَالْمَرْأَةُ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ جَالِسَةٌ أَوْ مَارَّةٌ فَقَالَ لا بَأْسَ إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَتْ بَكَّةَ لأَنَّهَا تَبُكُّ فِيهَا الرِّجَالُ وَالنِّسَاءُ.
7. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, ‘I stand up for Salat (prayer) in Makkah and a woman is sitting in front of me or is passing. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful. It is called Bakkah because men and women weep there.’”
