2 Aḥadīth
Ḥadīth 1

1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ لا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْحَرَمَ بِسِلاحٍ إِلاَّ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ فِي جُوَالِقَ أَوْ يُغَيِّبَهُ يَعْنِي يَلُفُّ عَلَى الْحَدِيدِ شَيْئاً.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from Hariz who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is not proper to bring arms inside the sacred area unless it is kept inside a bag or covered out of sight by wrapping something over the iron. ‘“

Ḥadīth 2

2ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ الْعَقَرْقُوفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُرِيدُ مَكَّةَ أَوِ الْمَدِينَةَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مَعَهُ بِالسِّلاحِ فَقَالَ لا بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يَخْرُجَ بِالسِّلاحِ مِنْ بَلَدِهِ وَلَكِنْ إِذَا دَخَلَ مَكَّةَ لَمْ يُظْهِرْهُ.

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan from Safwan from Shu’ayb al-‘Aqarqufiy form abu Basir who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who wants to go to Makkah or al- Madinah and dislikes to carry arms with him. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful to carry arms when leaving his town but when entering Makkah he must not allow it to come into view.’”
