Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl from abu al-Sabbah al-Kinaniy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘We will make one who is found there with deviation with injustice to taste painful punishment.’ (22:24) He (the Imam) said, ‘Every injustice that a man does to himself in Makkah, like stealing, injustice to others or any form of injustice is deviation and for this reason residing inside al- Haram (the sacred area) was avoided.” جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (17/74))
