Pilgrimage to Makkah

 إِنَّ أَوَّلَ بَيْتٍ وُضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ لَلَّذِي بِبَكَّةَ مُبَارَكًا وَهُدًى لِلْعَالَمِينَ {96} فِيهِ آيَاتٌ بَيِّنَاتٌ مَقَامُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ۖ وَمَنْ دَخَلَهُ كَانَ آمِنًا ۗ وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا ۚ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنِ الْعَالَمِينَ {97}

Surely, the first House Placed for the people is the one at Bakka, Blessed, and a Guidance for the worlds [3:96] In it are clear Signs, the standing place of Ibrahim; and the one who enters it would be secure. And for the Sake of Allah, Hajj of the House is incumbent upon the people for the one has the capacity for a way to it; and the one commits Kufr, then surely Allah is needless from the worlds [3:97].

و عنه: عن علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه، عن ابن محبوب، عن عبد الله بن سنان، عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام)، قال: سألته عن قول الله عز و جل: وَ مَنْ دَخَلَهُ كانَ آمِناً البيت عنى أم الحرم؟ قال: «من دخل الحرم من الناس مستجيرا به فهو آمن من سخط الله، و من دخله من الوحوش و الطير كان آمنا من أن يهاج أو يؤذى حتى يخرج من الحرم

And from him, from Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, said, ‘I asked him-asws about the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic and the one who enters it would be secure [3:97]. Is it the House (Kabah) which is Meant or the Sanctuary (Harram)?’ He-asws said: ‘The one from the people who enters the Sanctuary, so he is secure from the Wrath of Allah-azwj. And the one who enters it, from the wild animal and the birds, would be secure from the Pilgrim from being hurt, until it exits from the Sanctuary’.[1]
