Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Mansur ibn al-‘Abbas from Salih al-Lafa’ifiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, extended the land from beneath the Ka‘bah to Mina, then from Mina to ‘Arafat, then from ‘Arafat to Mina.

Earth is from ‘Arafat, ‘Arafat is from Mina and Mina is from al-Ka‘bah.” ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (17/10))
