Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘And this is the house by which Allah has demanded the devotion of His creatures to test their obedience in their coming to it, so He prompted them to glorify it and visit it. He made it the station of the prophets and the focal point (qibla) for those who pray to Him. It is a branch of His good pleasure and a way that leads to His forgiveness, founded on absolute perfection and ultimate grandeur.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : وهذا بَيتٌ اسْتَعبَدَ اللّهُ بهِ خَلقَهُ ليَخْتَبِرَ طاعَتَهُم في إتْيانِهِ ، فحَثَّهُم على تَعْظيمِهِ وزيارَتـِهِ ، وقـَد جَعلَهُ مَحلَّ الأنبياءِ وقِبْلَةً للمُصَلّينَ لَهُ ، وهُو شُعْبَةٌ مِن رِضْوانِهِ ، وطريقٌ يـُؤَدّي إلى غُفْرانِهِ ، مَنْصوبٌ على اسْتِواءِ الكَمالِ ، ومُجْتَمَعِ العَظَمَةِ.
