40. Muhammad ibn Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan and Ali ibn Ibrahim from his father all from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hisham ibn al-Hakam who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that al-H’ajj (people performing al-Hajj) are of three kinds. One group is set free from hellfire, one group comes out of their sin to become free of sins like the day they were just born, and one group receives protection for themselves, their family and property, and this is the least benefit with which al-H’ajj (one performing al-Hajj) returns home.”

41. Ibn abu ‘Umayr has narrated from Hisham ibn al-Hakam who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that no other journey affects one’s flesh, blood, skin and hair more than the journey to Makkah. No one reaches it (the journey) without facing hardships.’”

44. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from ‘Umar ibn Hafs from Sa‘id ibn Yasar who has said the following: “During one of the evenings when we were in Mina, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), encouraging and urging me to perform al-Hajj, said, ‘O Sa‘id, there is a servant of Allah to whom Allah has granted sustenance from His wealth. He takes from such sustenance the expenditures for himself and his family and then takes them on a journey, exposing them to hot sun until they attend the evening of ‘Arafah to attend the staying place and rest there. Do you not think that there a vacancy may exist for which there is no one to attend?’ I replied, ‘Yes, I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, that can happen.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘This servant of Allah brings them exposed to the hot sun to fill up that vacancy. Allah, the most Blessed, the most High, who has no partners, then says, ‘My servant whom I had granted sustenance out of My wealth, has taken that sustenance for his expenditures. He has exposed his own self and family to the hot sun to come and fill the vacancy for the sake of seeking forgiveness from Me. I forgive his sins, suffice him in whatever is important to him, and grant him sustenance.’ Sa‘id has said, ‘He (the Imam) mentioned such things up to ten in number.’”

46. Abu Ali af-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd af-Jabbar from Safwan from abu af-Mighra’ from Safmah ibn Muhriz who has said the following: “I once was with abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), when a man called abu al-Ward came and said to ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘May Allah be kind to you. I wish you to allow yourself to rest by the comfort of al-Mahmil (the carriage carried on camel backs).’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said, ‘O abu al-Ward, I love to be present for the benefits that Allah, the most Blessed, the most High, has spoken of, “...so they can be present for the benefits which are there for them.” (22:28) Whoever is present for such benefits, Allah grants them such benefits. As far as you are concerned, it is a returning home with sins forgiven and what others receive is safety for their persons and properties.’”

47. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Hamid from ‘Abd Allah ibn Jundab from certain individuals of his people who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that one who normally attends al-Hajj every year, then he lags behind and does not go for al-Hajj one year, the angels on land say to those in the mountains, ‘We miss hearing the voice of so and so.’ They then say, ‘Allow us to search for him.’ They search but do not find him and they say, “O Allah, if debts have kept him behind, pay them off for him; if illness has kept him from performing, grant him good health; if it is poverty, grant him wealth; if it is prison, grant him freedom; if a preoccupation, please complete it for him.’” People pray for themselves; they (angels) pray for those who have remained behind.’”

48ـ أَحْمَدُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَقُولُ يَا مَعْشَرَ مَنْ لَمْ يَحُجَّ اسْتَبْشِرُوا بِالْحَاجِّ وَصَافِحُوهُمْ وَعَظِّمُوهُمْ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يَجِبُ عَلَيْكُمْ تُشَارِكُوهُمْ فِي الأَجْرِ.

48. Ahmad has narrated from ‘Amr ibn ‘Uthman from Ali ibn ‘Abd Allah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), has said, ‘O people who have not performed al-Hajj, spread good news about al-H’ajj (people performing al-Hajj), shake hands with them, consider them great people; it is necessary for you to share with them in matters of the reward.”

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhaynah who has said the following: “I once wrote to abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about certain issues (of Fiqh) of which a few were with ibn Bukayr, a few with abu al- ‘Abbas. The answers came with his (the Imam’s) dictation, ‘You have asked about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, “People owe to Allah to perform al-Hajj of the House, whoever is capable to do so,” (3:97) is a reference to al-Hajj and al-‘Umrah. It refers to both of them performed together because they are obligatory.’ You have asked about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, ‘Complete al-Hajj and al-‘Umrah for the sake of Allah. . .’ (2:196) ‘Completing’ means fulfilling this duty during which one must abstain from whatever a person in the state of Ihram abstains.’ I also asked him (the Imam) about the meaning of the words of Allah, the most High, ‘Al-Hajj al-Akbar’. (9:3) He (the Imam) replied it is staying in ‘Arafat, throwing pebbles on al-Jamar and al-Hajj al-Asghar stands for al-‘Umrah.’”
