Hadith.2858 - It was narrated from Abu al-Rabi' al-Shami, who said: Abu Abdullah (as) was asked about the words of Allah (swt), the Exalted: "And [due] to Allah (swt) from the people is a pilgrimage to the House – for whoever is able to find thereto a way." (Surah Aal-e-Imran 3:97). Imam (as) said: "What do people say regarding it?" It was said to him: "Provision and a mount." Imam (as) replied: "Abu Ja'far (as) was asked about this and said: 'Then the people would perish! If it were such that whoever has provisions and a mount sufficient for his family and enough to make him independent of others must go for Hajj and be stripped of these provisions, then they would perish.'" Imam (as) was asked: "Then what is the 'way' (sabeel)?" Imam (as) replied: "It is sufficiency in wealth—when one can perform Hajj with part of it while leaving enough to provide for his family. Has not Allah (swt), the Exalted, obligated Zakat and made it incumbent only upon those who possess two hundred dirhams?"

And if they were to abandon the visitation of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family), it would be incumbent upon the leader to compel them to perform it and to remain there. If they did not have sufficient wealth, he should spend on them from the public treasury of the Muslims."
