Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘And He made obligatory for you the pilgrimage to His Sacred House which he made the ‘qibla for all people. They come to it like the cattle coming to water, and eagerly turn to it like the birds eagerly returning to their nest; He, glory be to Him, made it a sign of their humility before His greatness and their yielding to His Might.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : وفَرَضَ علَيكمُ حَجَّ بَيتِهِ الحَرامِ الّذي جَعَلهُ قِبلَةً للأنامِ ، يَرِدُونَهُ وُرودَ الأنْعامِ ، ويَألَهونَ إلَيهِ وُلوهَ الحَمامِ ، وجَعلَهُ سبحانَهُ عَلامةً لِتَواضُعِهِم لِعظَمَتِهِ وإذْعانِهِم لِعزّتِهِ.
