1142. hadíth

وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ اَلْعَطَّارِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَكُونُ عَلَيَّ اَلدَّيْنُ فَيَقَعُ فِي يَدِيَ اَلدَّرَاهِمُ فَإِنْ وَزَّعْتُهَا بَيْنَهُمْ لَمْ يَقَعْ شَيْئاً أَ فَأَحُجُّ أَوْ أُوَزِّعُهَا بَيْنَ اَلْغُرَمَاءِ قَالَ «حُجَّ بِهَا وَ اُدْعُ اَللَّهَ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ عَنْكَ دَيْنَكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى».

Ibn Mahbub narrated from Aban, from Al-Hasan ibn Ziyad al-‘Attar, who said: I said to Abu Abdullah (a.s): "I have debt, and some dirhams come into my possession. If I divide them among my creditors, they will not settle anything significant. Should I use them for Hajj, or should I distribute them among the creditors?" Imam (a.s) said: "Perform Hajj with them, and pray to Allah (swt) to help you settle your debt, God willing."
