Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad from Ahmad ibn Hilal from ‘Isa ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Hashimiy from his father who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the site of al-Ka‘bah was a white mount of land that shone like the sun and moon until one of the sons of Adam killed the other son of Adam, and thereafter it turned black. When Adam descended, Allah then raised the whole earth for him until he saw it. He then said, ‘This is all for you.

He then asked, ‘Lord, what is this white land that shines?’ He replied, ‘That is (in) My land. I have made it obligatory upon you to walk around it seven hundred times every day.’” ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (7/11))
