10ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) لأَيِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ صَارَ الْحَاجُّ لا يُكْتَبُ عَلَيْهِ الذَّنْبُ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ قَالَ إِنَّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَبَاحَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ الْحَرَمَ فِي أَرْبَعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ إِذْ يَقُولُ فَسِيحُوا فِي الأَرْضِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ ثُمَّ وَهَبَ لِمَنْ يَحُجُّ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْبَيْتَ الذُّنُوبَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ.

10. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr from Husayn ibn Khalid who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), ‘For what reason is no sin written against a pilgrim for four months?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, granted permission to the pagans in al-Haram area for four months as He has said, ‘You can move in the land for four months.’ (9:2) Thereafter He has said, that He forgives sins of pilgrims to the House for four months.’”

11ـ أَحْمَدُ عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَجَّالِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ الْحَاجُّ لا يَزَالُ عَلَيْهِ نُورُ الْحَجِّ مَا لَمْ يُلِمَّ بِذَنْبٍ.

11. Ahmad has narrated from abu Muhammad al-Hajjal, from Dawud ibn abu Yazid from those whom he has mentioned who has said the foiiowing: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that a pilgrim continues to live with the light of al-Hajj until he commits sins again and again.’”

12ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْفَرَّاءِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) تَابِعُوا بَيْنَ الْحَجِّ وَالْعُمْرَةِ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَنْفِيَانِ الْفَقْرَ وَالذُّنُوبَ كَمَا يَنْفِي الْكِيرُ خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ.

12. Afi ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from abu Muhammad al-Farra’ who has said the following: “I heard abu Ja’far ibn Muhammad (a.s.), say, ‘The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, “Perform al-Hajj and al-‘Umrah consecutively; they remove poverty and sins just as al-Kir (a bellowing kiln) removes impurities from iron.’””

13ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ الْحَجُّ وَالْعُمْرَةُ سُوقَانِ مِنْ أَسْوَاقِ الآخِرَةِ اللاَّزِمُ لَهُمَا فِي ضَمَانِ الله إِنْ أَبْقَاهُ أَدَّاهُ إِلَى عِيَالِهِ وَإِنْ أَمَاتَهُ أَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ.

13. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ali ibn Isma‘il from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Ja’far ibn ‘Imran from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that al-Hajj and al-‘Umrah are two market places (that deal with the merchandise) of the next life. Those who attach themselves to these two are part of the undertaking of Allah. He returns them to their families if He decides to keep them living, or admits them in paradise if He decides to cause them to die.”

14ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا الْمُؤْمِنِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ الْحَاجُّ وَالْمُعْتَمِرُ وَفْدُ الله إِنْ سَأَلُوهُ أَعْطَاهُمْ وَإِنْ دَعَوْهُ أَجَابَهُمْ وَإِنْ شَفَعُوا شَفَّعَهُمْ وَإِنْ سَكَتُوا ابْتَدَأَهُمْ وَيُعَوَّضُونَ بِالدِّرْهَمِ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ.

14. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Zakariya al-Mu’min from Ibrahim ibn Salih from a man from our people who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that people who perform al-Hajj or al-‘Umrah are delegates before Allah. If they ask Him for help, He grants their wishes; if they pray, He answers their prayers; if they intercede on behalf of someone, their intercession is honored; if they remain silent, He initiates and He compensates them for every dirham a million dirham.”

15ـ وَعَنْهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمُؤْمِنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ دِرْهَمٌ تُنْفِقُهُ فِي الْحَجِّ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ عِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ تُنْفِقُهَا فِي حَقٍّ.

15. It is narrated from him (narrator of previous Hadith) from ‘Abd al-Mu’min from Ali ibn abu Hamzah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that one dirham that you spend for Hajj is better than twenty thousand dirham which you spent for a truth (a right).”

16ـ وَعَنْهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمُؤْمِنِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ الْجَصَّاصِ عَنْ عُذَافِرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنَ الْحَجِّ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ الْعِيَالُ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِذَا مِتَّ فَمَنْ لِعِيَالِكَ أَطْعِمْ عِيَالَكَ الْخَلَّ وَالزَّيْتَ وَحُجَّ بِهِمْ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ.

16. It is narrated from him (narrator of previous Hadith) from ‘Abd al-Mu’min from Dawud ibn Sulayman al-Jassas from ‘Adhafir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), once asked, ‘What prevents you from performing Hajj every year?’ I replied, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause; my dependents prevent me from performing Hajj.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If you die who will be there for your dependents? You should feed your dependents vinegar and oil and perform Hajj with them every year.’”

17ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَمَّنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) يَقُولُ بَادِرُوا بِالسَّلامِ عَلَى الْحَاجِّ وَالْمُعْتَمِرِ وَمُصَافَحَتِهِمْ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تُخَالِطَهُمُ الذُّنُوبُ.

17- Hussein ibn Muhammad reported from Mu'alla ibn Muhammad, from Ali ibn Asbat, from Sulaiman al-Ja'fari, from whom he narrated from Abu Abdullah (peace be upon him), who said: 'Ali ibn al-Hussein (peace be upon them) used to say: 'Be prompt in greeting the pilgrims and the umrah performers, and shake hands with them before sins mix with them.'

18ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا الْمُؤْمِنِ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ الْعَقَرْقُوفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ الْحَاجُّ وَالْمُعْتَمِرُ فِي ضَمَانِ الله فَإِنْ مَاتَ مُتَوَجِّهاً غَفَرَ الله لَهُ ذُنُوبَهُ وَإِنْ مَاتَ مُحْرِماً بَعَثَهُ الله مُلَبِّياً وَإِنْ مَاتَ بِأَحَدِ الْحَرَمَيْنِ بَعَثَهُ الله مِنَ الآمِنِينَ وَإِنْ مَاتَ مُنْصَرِفاً غَفَرَ الله لَهُ جَمِيعَ ذُنُوبِهِ.

18. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Zakariya al-Mu’min from Shu’ayb al-‘Aqarqufiy from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the pilgrim’s performing al-Hajj and al-‘Umrah is part of the undertaking of Allah. If he dies when on his way, Allah forgives his sins. If he dies in the state of Ihram, Allah raises him saying Talbiyah (here I am O Lord, to obey Your command). If he dies in one of the two sacred places, Allah raises him well protected. If he dies on his way back home, Allah forgives all of his sins.”

19ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ مَا وَقَفَ أَحَدٌ فِي تِلْكَ الْجِبَالِ إِلاَّ اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ فَيُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ فِي آخِرَتِهِمْ وَأَمَّا الْكُفَّارُ فَيُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ فِي دُنْيَاهُمْ.

19. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Faddal who has said the following: “I once heard al-Rida (a.s.), say, ‘No one has stood in those hills without their prayers answered. The believing people’s prayers are answered in the matters of their next life, and the unbeliever’s prayers are answered in their worldly matters.’”
