5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَكُونُ عَلَيَّ الدَّيْنُ فَيَقَعُ فِي يَدِيَ الدَّرَاهِمُ فَإِنْ وَزَّعْتُهَا بَيْنَهُمْ لَمْ يَبْقَ شَيْ‏ءٌ أَ فَأَحُجُّ بِهَا أَوْ أُوَزِّعُهَا بَيْنَ الْغُرَّامِ فَقَالَ تَحُجُّ بِهَا وَادْعُ الله أَنْ يَقْضِيَ عَنْكَ دَيْنَكَ.

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn Wahab from more than one person who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the debt that I owe and I have a certain amount of dirham, which if I divide among the creditors, not anything will be left for al-Hajj expenses. He (the Imam) said, ‘Perform al-Hajj with it and appeal before Allah to pay off your debts.’”

6. Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa has narrated from al-Barqiy from Ja’far ibn Bashir from Musa ibn Bakr al-Wasitiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who borrows for al-Hajj. He (the Imam) said, ‘If he leaves behind an asset that can pay off his debt in case something happens to him, then it is not harmful.’”

1ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَقُولُ لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا رَبِحَ الرِّبْحَ أَخَذَ مِنْهُ الشَّيْ‏ءَ فَعَزَلَهُ فَقَالَ هَذَا لِلْحَجِّ وَإِذَا رَبِحَ أَخَذَ مِنْهُ وَقَالَ هَذَا لِلْحَجِّ جَاءَ إِبَّانُ الْحَجِّ وَقَدِ اجْتَمَعَتْ لَهُ نَفَقَةٌ عَزَمَ الله فَخَرَجَ وَلَكِنْ أَحَدُكُمْ يَرْبَحُ الرِّبْحَ فَيُنْفِقُهُ فَإِذَا جَاءَ إِبَّانُ الْحَجِّ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَأْسِ مَالِهِ فَيَشُقُّ عَلَيْهِ.

1. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘If one of you whenever earning a certain profit, deducts a certain amount for the expenses of al-Hajj by the season of al-Hajj, he can have all of the expense for al-Hajj ready. He then can leave (to perform al-Hajj of the House of Allah). On the other hand, without such deduction at the time of al-Hajj, it may seem difficult for him to take the expenses for al-Hajj all at once from his profits. ‘“

A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Barqiy from a Shaykh narrating it in a marfu’ manner has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that he (the Imam) said to him (the narrator), ‘O so and so, reduce the expenses of al-Hajj; you will be more motivated for al-Hajj. You must not be an over- spender; that will reduce your interest in performing al-Hajj. ‘“
