Al-Kāfi|Volume 4|Book 3|Chapter 23
6ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ مَنْ نَظَرَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ بِمَعْرِفَةٍ فَعَرَفَ مِنْ حَقِّنَا وَحُرْمَتِنَا مِثْلَ الَّذِي عَرَفَ مِنْ حَقِّهَا وَحُرْمَتِهَا غَفَرَ الله لَهُ ذُنُوبَهُ وَكَفَاهُ هَمَّ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ.
6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Ali ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz from Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, who said: “The one who looks at the Kabah with an understanding, so he recognises from our rights and our sanctity, is like the one who recognises from it (Kabah’s) rights, and its Sanctity. Allah would Forgive for him his sins, and suffice him for the concerns of the world and the Hereafter.“
