1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْخَزَّازِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَقُولُ لا يَنْبَغِي لأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْ تُرْبَةِ مَا حَوْلَ الْكَعْبَةِ وَإِنْ أَخَذَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئاً رَدَّهُ.

He (the Imam) said, ‘How bad is what you have done! However, you must return the soil and pebbles.”’
