"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَال: أَقْبَلَ إِبراهيمُ (خليل الرحمن) منْ أَرْمِينيَّةَ وَمَعَهُ السَّكِينَةُ تَدُلُّهِ عَلَى مَوْضِع البَيْتِ، كما تَتَبوَّأُ الْعنْكَبُوتُ بَيْتَهَا، فَحَفَر مِن تَحتِ السَّكينَةِ فَأَبْدَى عَنْ قَواعِدَ مَا يُحَرِّكُ القَاعِدَةَ مِنْهَا دُون ثلاثين رَجُلًا".

"From Ali who said: Ibrahim (the Friend of the Most Merciful) came from Armenia, and with him was the Sakinah guiding him to the location of the House, as the spider settles in its web. He dug beneath the Sakinah and uncovered foundations, of which no fewer than thirty men could move the base."
