وَ اَلْحَاجُّ عَلَى ثَلاَثَةِ أَصْنَافٍ فَأَفْضَلُهُمْ نَصِيباً رَجُلٌ يُغْفَرُ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَ مَا تَأَخَّرَ وَ وَقَاهُ اَللَّهُ عَذَابَ اَلْقَبْرِ وَ أَمَّا اَلَّذِي يَلِيهِ فَرَجُلٌ غُفِرَ لَهُ ذَنْبُهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْهُ وَ يَسْتَأْنِفُ اَلْعَمَلَ فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمُرِهِ وَ أَمَّا اَلَّذِي يَلِيهِ فَرَجُلٌ يُحْفَظُ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَ مَالِهِ ». وَ رُوِيَ: «أَنَّهُ هُوَ اَلَّذِي لاَ يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ اَلْحَجُّ ».
The pilgrim falls into three categories: The one with the greatest reward is a person whose past and his future sins are forgiven, and Allah (swt) protects them from the punishment of the grave. The next is a person whose past sins are forgiven, and they start anew in their remaining life with fresh deeds. The third is a person who is protected in their family and wealth. It has also been narrated: "This last category refers to the one whose Hajj is not accepted."
