2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz ibn ‘Abd Allah who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that performing Tawaf is more excellent for those who do not reside in Makkah, and for those who reside in Makkah, performing salat (prayer) is more excellent.”
2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ
الطَّوَافُ لِغَيْرِ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الصَّلاةِ وَالصَّلاةُ لأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ أَفْضَلُ.
