8ـ أَحْمَدُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَخْرُجُ الرَّجُلُ مَعَ قَوْمٍ مَيَاسِيرَ وَهُوَ أَقَلُّهُمْ شَيْئاً فَيُخْرِجُ الْقَوْمُ النَّفَقَةَ وَلا يَقْدِرُ هُوَ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ مِثْلَ مَا أَخْرَجُوا فَقَالَ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ يُذِلَّ نَفْسَهُ لِيَخْرُجْ مَعَ مَنْ هُوَ مِثْلُهُ.

8. Ahmad has narrated from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Afi ibn abu Hamzah from abu Basir who has said the foiiowing: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ’Can a less affluent person accompany affluent people during the journey to Makkah, when he cannot spend as much as they do?’ He (the Imam) replied, ’I do not like his humiliating himself. He should accompany people of his own status.’”

1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ صَحِبْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) وَهُوَ مُتَوَجِّهٌ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى قَالَ اللهمَّ خَلِّ سَبِيلَنَا وَأَحْسِنْ تَسْيِيرَنَا وَأَحْسِنْ عَافِيَتَنَا وَكُلَّمَا صَعِدَ أَكَمَةً قَالَ اللهمَّ لَكَ الشَّرَفُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَرَفٍ.

1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from his father from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Hudhayfah ibn Mansur who has said the following: “I accompanied abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), on the way to Makkah and when he completed his salat (prayer) he said, ‘O Allah, open the way for us. Make our journey and our health full of goodness.’ Whenever he climbed a higher place, he would say, ‘You possess highness and You are over all goodness.’”

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Um ay r from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, during his journey, when climbing down would say, ‘Allah is free of all defects’ and when climbing up would say, ‘Allah is great beyond description.’”

3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ قَاسِمٍ الصَّيْرَفِيِّ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِنَّ عَلَى ذِرْوَةِ كُلِّ جِسْرٍ شَيْطَانٌ فَإِذَا انْتَهَيْتَ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْ بِسْمِ الله يَرْحَلْ عَنْكَ.

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from al-Qasim al-Sayrafiy from Hafs ibn al-Qasim who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘On every bridge there is a Satan. When you approach him, say, ‘(I seek help) by the name of Allah.’ He moves away from you.’”

4ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الله الْقُمِّيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ قُلِ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ لِنَفْسِيَ الْيَقِينَ وَالْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ اللهمَّ أَنْتَ ثِقَتِي وَأَنْتَ رَجَائِي وَأَنْتَ عَضُدِي وَأَنْتَ نَاصِرِي بِكَ أَحُلُّ وَبِكَ أَسِيرُ قَالَ وَمَنْ يَخْرُجْ فِي سَفَرٍ وَحْدَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ مَا شَاءَ الله لا قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِالله اللهمَّ آنِسْ وَحْشَتِي وَأَعِنِّي عَلَى وَحْدَتِي وَأَدِّ غَيْبَتِي.

4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from ‘Isa ibn ‘Abdullah al-Qummiy from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Say: <br>‘O Allah, I appeal before You to grant my soul certainty, forgiveness and good health in this life and in the next life. O Allah, You are my trustee, my hope, my shoulder (power) and my supporter. With Your help I disembark and travel.’ <br>Allahumma inni as'aluka li nafsiya al-yaqina wal-'afwa wal-'afiyata fi al-dunya wal-akhirah. Allahumma anta thiqati wa anta raja'i wa anta 'adudi wa anta nasiri. Bika ahullu wa bika asiru. <br>He (the Imam) said, ‘If one travels alone he should say: <br>‘Whatever Allah wills happens. There is no power without the help of Allah. O Allah, comfort me in my fear, help me in my loneliness and make the end of my absence (from my home) closer.’” <br>Ma sha'a Allah la quwwata illa billah Allahumma anis waḥshatī wa-aʿinnī ʿalā waḥdatī wa-add ghaybatī.

5. Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ali from Hammad from a man from abu Sa‘id al-Mukariy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that when you come out for a journey say, ‘O Allah, I have come out in this direction without placing my trust in anyone other than You. I do not have any hope in anyone to which I incline except to You. I have no power to rely on, or any plan to use, except seeking favors from You. I seek kindness from You and comfort in Your best methods. You know best about my past in Your knowledge, during my journey, what I like and what I dislike. In whatever matters of Your measures I may face, affliction will be praiseworthy to me and Your decision about it will be something from which I will learn a lesson and You, however, establish whatever You will and delete whatever You will and with You is the mother book. O Allah, divert from me the measures of all trials and afflictions, the approval of all constraints and expand for me a corner in Your mercy, a gift from Your forgiveness, an increase in Your sustenance and a completion in Your bounties, and comprehensiveness in Your granting good health. Apply to me all Your approval in harmony with my wishes and my best hopes. Expel what I am afraid of and what I am not afraid of for my soul, my religion, my possessions and that which You know more than I do, and make this a goodness for my next life as well as for this life along with what I ask from You. O my Lord, protect me along with what I have left behind, like my children, family, possessions, means of livelihood, my dependents, my relatives and brothers with the best of deputies which You assign for one who is absent from his home. (You assign for the protection) of believing people in matters of safety and protection of all privacies and safety of all belongings, completion of all bounties, sufficing in all hardships, concealment of all evil matters, diversion of obstacles, perfection of all that accumulates for my happiness and pleasure in all of my affairs. Do it for me through Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause) with kindness and blessings.

1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ مُثَنًّى الْحَنَّاطِ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ الْحَجُّ أَشْهُرٌ مَعْلُوماتٌ شَوَّالٌ وَذُو الْقَعْدَةِ وَذُو الْحِجَّةِ لَيْسَ لأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَحُجُّ فِيمَا سِوَاهُنَّ.

1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Muthanna’ al- Hannat from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘The months of al-Hajj are well known’ (2:197); they are Shawwal, Dhu al-Qa’dah and Dhu al-Hajj ah. No one has the right to perform al-Hajj in months other than these ones.’”

2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْحَجُّ أَشْهُرٌ مَعْلُوماتٌ فَمَنْ فَرَضَ فِيهِنَّ الْحَجَّ وَالْفَرْضُ التَّلْبِيَةُ وَالإِشْعَارُ وَالتَّقْلِيدُ فَأَيَّ ذَلِكَ فَعَلَ فَقَدْ فَرَضَ الْحَجَّ وَلا يُفْرَضُ الْحَجُّ إِلاَّ فِي هَذِهِ الشُّهُورِ الَّتِي قَالَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْحَجُّ أَشْهُرٌ مَعْلُوماتٌ وَهُوَ شَوَّالٌ وَذُو الْقَعْدَةِ وَذُو الْحِجَّةِ.

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan, all from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar, from Abu 'Abdillah (AS) regarding the words of Allah, most Majestic and Glorious, ‘The months of al-Hajj are well-known, so those who owe the obligation of al-Hajj in these months...’ (2:197) He (a.s.) has said that Talbiyah, marking the offering, and leading the offering animal are obligations. Whichever is done the duty of al-Hajj is complete. Al-Hajj is not performed except in the months that Allah, most Majestic and Glorious, has called ‘well-known months’ which are Shawwal, Dhu al-Qa’dah and Dhu al-Hijjah.’”

3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ أَشْهُرُ الْحَجِّ شَوَّالٌ وَذُو الْقَعْدَةِ وَعَشْرٌ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ وَأَشْهُرُ السِّيَاحَةِ عِشْرُونَ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ وَالْمُحَرَّمُ وَصَفَرُ وَشَهْرُ رَبِيعٍ الأَوَّلِ وَعَشْرٌ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَبِيعٍ الآخِرِ.

3. Ali has narrated through the same chain of his narrators has said the following: “He (the Imam) ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the months of al-Hajj are Shawwal, Dhu al-Qa’dah and ten days of Dhu al-Hajj ah. The visiting months commence from twentieth of Dhu al-Hajj ah onward and includes the month of Muharram, Safar, Rabi’ al-Awwal and ten days of Rabi‘ al-Akhir.’”

1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ يَوْمِ الْحَجِّ الأَكْبَرِ فَقَالَ هُوَ يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ وَالْحَجُّ الأَصْغَرُ الْعُمْرَةُ.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the day of greater al-Hajj. He (the Imam) replied, That is the day of offering sacrifice and minor al-Hajj is al-‘Umrah.’”
