2ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ ذَرِيحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ الْحَجُّ الأَكْبَرُ يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ.

2. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd af-Jabbar from Safwan from Dharih who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the greater al-Hajj is the day of offering sacrifice.”

3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَعَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقَاسَانِيِّ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ الْمِنْقَرِيِّ عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ عِيَاضٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ الْحَجِّ الأَكْبَرِ فَإِنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ كَانَ يَقُولُ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) الْحَجُّ الأَكْبَرُ يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ وَيَحْتَجُّ بِقَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَسِيحُوا فِي الأَرْضِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَهِيَ عِشْرُونَ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ وَالْمُحَرَّمُ وَصَفَرٌ وَشَهْرُ رَبِيعٍ الأَوَّلِ وَعَشْرٌ مِنْ رَبِيعٍ الآخِرِ وَلَوْ كَانَ الْحَجُّ الأَكْبَرُ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ لَكَانَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَيَوْماً.

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Ali ibn Muhammad al-Qasaniy all from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from Sulayman ibn Dawud al-Minqariy from Fudayl ibn ‘Iyad who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, about the greater al-Hajj because ibn ‘Abbas used to say, ‘It is the day of ‘Arafah.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), has said, ‘The greater al-Hajj is the day of offering sacrifice and he proved it with the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, “You can move in the land during four months.” (9:2 ) This is from the twentieth of the month of Dhu al-Hajj ah through the month of al-Muharram, the month of Safar, the month of Rabi‘ al-Awwal and ten days of the month of Rabi‘ al-Akhir. Were it (greater al-Hajj) to begin with the day of ‘Arafah, it became four months and one day.’”

1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَقُولُ الْحَجُّ ثَلاثَةُ أَصْنَافٍ حَجُّ مُفْرَدٍ وَقِرَانٍ وَتَمَتُّعٍ بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ وَبِهَا أَمَرَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَالْفَضْلُ فِيهَا وَلا نَأْمُرُ النَّاسَ إِلاَّ بِهَا.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I have heard abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘Al-Hajj is of three kinds: al-Mufrad al-Hajj (al- Hajj without al-‘Umrah), Qiran, and al-Tamattu , which is al-Umrah along with al-Hajj. This is how the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, had commanded. This has excellence and we do not command people to complete an al-Hajj in a manner other than this (al-Tamaatu‘).’”

2ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ الصَّيْقَلِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) الْحَجُّ عِنْدَنَا عَلَى ثَلاثَةِ أَوْجُهٍ حَاجٌّ مُتَمَتِّعٌ وَحَاجٌّ مُفْرِدٌ سَائِقٌ للهدْيِ وَحَاجٌّ مُفْرِدٌ لِلْحَجِّ.

2. Abu Afi ai-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd af-Jabbar from Safwan from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar from Mansur af-Sayqaf who has said the following: “Abu `Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, al-Hajj with us is of three kinds: al-Hajj of al-Tamattu, al-Hajj al-Mufrid in which one drives the offering animal, and al-Mufrid al-Hajj (performing just al- Hajj without al-‘Umrah).’’’ (Hadith 2 is best explained in the form of fatwa.)

3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْخَزَّازِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَيُّ أَنْوَاعِ الْحَجِّ أَفْضَلُ فَقَالَ التَّمَتُّعُ وَكَيْفَ يَكُونُ شَيْ‏ءٌ أَفْضَلَ مِنْهُ وَرَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَقُولُ لَوِ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ لَفَعَلْتُ مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلَ النَّاسُ.

3. Afi ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from abu Ayyub al-Khazzaz who has said the following: “I once asked Abu `Abd Allah (a.s.), ’Which kind of al-Hajj is more virtuous?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘It is al-Tamattu £ . How can there be anything more virtuous and the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, “In future I certainly will not go back. I will do what people are doing.” (People did al-Tamattu £ and the Messenger of Allah performed Tfrad (Individual Hajj ).’” (see Chapter 27 h4 above)

4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) مَا نَعْلَمُ حَجّاً لله غَيْرَ الْمُتْعَةِ إِنَّا إِذَا لَقِينَا رَبَّنَا قُلْنَا رَبَّنَا عَمِلْنَا بِكِتَابِكَ وَسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ وَيَقُولُ الْقَوْمُ عَمِلْنَا بِرَأْيِنَا فَيَجْعَلُنَا الله وَإِيَّاهُمْ حَيْثُ يَشَاءُ.

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu `Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, £ We do not know of any other forms of al-Hajj for the sake of Allah except al-Mut £ ah. Before Allah we will say, £ Our Lord, we followed your book and the Sunnah of Your Holy prophet, and the people will say, “We acted according to our opinions,” then Allah will place us and them as He wills.’”

5ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ كَانَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَقُولُ الْمُتَمَتِّعُ بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْمُفْرِدِ السَّائِقِ للهدْيِ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ لَيْسَ يَدْخُلُ الْحَاجُّ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْمُتْعَةِ.

5. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far, al-Thaniy (a.s.), has said that abu Ja‘far (a.s.), would say, “Those who come out of the state of Ihram after al- £ Umrah until commencing acts of al-Hajj are better than those performing al-Hajj alone driving the offering animal with them.” He (the Imam) would say, ‘There is not anything better in acts of al-Hajj than al-Mut £ ah (coming out of the state of Ihram after al- £ Umrah until the commencement of the acts of al-Hajj).”’

6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مَرَّارٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ مَنْ حَجَّ فَلْيَتَمَتَّعْ إِنَّا لا نَعْدِلُ بِكِتَابِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّهِ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه).

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Isma‘il ibn Marrar from Yunus from Mu‘awiyah who has said the following: “Abu `Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One who performs al-Hajj should take advantage (al- Mut‘ah); we do not compromise with the book of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, and the Sunnah of His Holy prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause.”’

7ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ وَابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ الْجَمَّالِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِنَّ بَعْضَ النَّاسِ يَقُولُ جَرِّدِ الْحَجَّ وَبَعْضَ النَّاسِ يَقُولُ اقْرُنْ وَسُقْ وَبَعْضَ النَّاسِ يَقُولُ تَمَتَّعْ بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ فَقَالَ لَوْ حَجَجْتُ أَلْفَ عَامٍ لَمْ أَقْرُنْهَا إِلاَّ مُتَمَتِّعاً.

7. Certain persons of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from ibn abu Najran from Safwan al-Jammal who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of certain people who say that one must perform al-Hajj alone, others say to make it Qiran and drive the offering animal, and still others say to take advantage between al-‘Umrah and al-Hajj. He (the Imam) (a.s.), said, ‘If I will perform al-Hajj for a thousand years I will not make it Qiran. I will only perform advantageous al- Hajj (al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ ).’”

8ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ قَالَ كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُيَسِّرٍ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اعْتَمَرَ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ حَضَرَ لَهُ الْمَوْسِمُ أَ يَحُجُّ مُفْرِداً لِلْحَجِّ أَوْ يَتَمَتَّعُ أَيُّهُمَا أَفْضَلُ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ يَتَمَتَّعُ أَفْضَلُ.

8. Ahmad ibn Muhammad from has narrated from Ali ibn Hadid who has said the following: “Once Ali ibn Muyassir wrote to him (the Imam) asking about a man who performed al-‘Umrah in the month of Ramadan, then it was al-Hajj season; if he could perform al-Hajj as al-Mufrid al-Hajj or al- Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous), and which one was better. He (the Imam) wrote in answer, ‘Al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ is better.’”
