3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الرَّبِيعِ الشَّامِيِّ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَنِ اسْتَطاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلاً فَقَالَ مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ قَالَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ الزَّادُ وَالرَّاحِلَةُ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَدْ سُئِلَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ هَذَا فَقَالَ هَلَكَ النَّاسُ إِذاً لَئِنْ كَانَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ زَادٌ وَرَاحِلَةٌ قَدْرَ مَا يَقُوتُ عِيَالَهُ وَيَسْتَغْنِي بِهِ عَنِ النَّاسِ يَنْطَلِقُ إِلَيْهِ فَيَسْلُبُهُمْ إِيَّاهُ لَقَدْ هَلَكُوا فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَمَا السَّبِيلُ قَالَ فَقَالَ السَّعَةُ فِي الْمَالِ إِذَا كَانَ يَحُجُّ بِبَعْضٍ وَيُبْقِي بَعْضاً يَقُوتُ بِهِ عِيَالَهُ أَ لَيْسَ قَدْ فَرَضَ الله الزَّكَاةَ فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْهَا إِلاَّ عَلَى مَنْ يَمْلِكُ مِائَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ.

3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from Khalid ibn Jarir from abu al-Rabi’ al- Shamiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘It is obligatory upon people from Allah to perform al-Hajj who have the way (are able) to do so.’ (3:96) He (the Imam) asked, ‘What do people say about it?’ It was said, to him (the Imam), ‘They say it is supplies and transportation.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), then said, ‘Abu Ja‘far, was asked about it and he said, “If so, then people are destroyed. If it was only supplies, transportation and enough food for the family that made them needless of people and he then left and was looted, such people would have been destroyed.’” It then was asked, ‘What then is ‘the way’?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It means to be affluent so that if one uses a certain portion, others (enough funds) are left from which, one’s family can spend. Is it not the case that Allah has made Zakat obligatory only when one has two hundred dirham?”’

4ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِنِّي شَيَّعْتُ أَصْحَابِي إِلَى الْقَادِسِيَّةِ فَقَالُوا لِي انْطَلِقْ مَعَنَا وَنُقِيمُ عَلَيْكَ ثَلاثاً فَرَجَعْتُ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي نَفَقَةٌ فَيَسَّرَ الله وَلَحِقْتُهُمْ قَالَ إِنَّهُ مَنْ كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْوَفْدِ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ لا يَحُجَّ وَإِنْ كَانَ فَقِيراً وَمَنْ لَمْ يُكْتَبْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَحُجَّ وَإِنْ كَانَ غَنِيّاً صَحِيحاً.

4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from fro Sayf ibn ‘Amirah from abu Bakr al-Hadramiy who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), that I escorted my people to al-Qadisiyah and they said to me, ‘Come with us, we shall wait for three days for you. I returned and I did not have anything for my expenses but Allah made it possible and I joined them. He (the Imam) said, ‘Whoever’ s name is written in the delegation is not able to avoid al-Hajj even if he is poor and whoever’ s name is not written cannot do al-Hajj even if he is rich and in good health.’”

5. Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah has narrated from Musa ibn ‘Imran from al-Husayn ibn Yazid from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Once a man who believed in absolute freedom of will ideology, asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘O child of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, I have a question. Tell me about the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, “It is obligatory upon people from Allah to perform al-Hajj who are able to do so.” (3:96) Has Allah not given them the ability?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Fie upon you, ‘ability’ means supplies and transportation and physical well being.’ The man then said, ‘Is it not true that when there is supply and transportation one then is able to perform al-Hajj.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Fie upon you, it is not the way you think it is. There are times when a man has a great deal of wealth, more than supplies and transportation and still does not do al-Hajj until Allah, most High, grants him permission to do so.’”
