Chapter on Virtues of Hajj
2151 - وَ مَنْ قَدِمَ حَاجّاً فَطَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَتَبَ اَللَّهُ لَهُ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ حَسَنَةٍ وَ مَحَا عَنْهُ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ سَيِّئَةٍ وَ رَفَعَ لَهُ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ دَرَجَةٍ وَ شَفَّعَهُ فِي سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ حَاجَةٍ وَ كَتَبَ لَهُ عِتْقَ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ رَقَبَةٍ قِيمَةُ كُلِّ رَقَبَةٍ عَشَرَةُ آلاَفِ دِرْهَمٍ ».
Hadith.2151 - Whoever arrives for Hajj, performs Tawaf around the House, and prays two Rak’ahs, Allah (swt) writes for them seventy thousand good deeds, erases seventy thousand sins from them, raises them by seventy thousand degrees, grants them intercession for seventy thousand needs, and records for them the emancipation of seventy thousand slaves, each valued at ten thousand dirhams.
2309 - وَ رُوِيَ : «أَنَّهُ قُتِلَ اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَرْبَعُ سِنِينَ ».

"Al-Husayn ibn Ali (as) was martyred when Abu Ja'far (as) was four years old."
2152 - وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ «هَذَا اَلثَّوَابُ لِمَنْ طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ حَتَّى تَزُولَ اَلشَّمْسُ حَاسِراً عَنْ رَأْسِهِ حَافِياً يُقَارِبُ بَيْنَ خُطَاهُ وَ يَغُضُّ بَصَرَهُ وَ يَسْتَلِمُ اَلْحَجَرَ فِي كُلِّ طَوَافٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُؤْذِيَ أَحَداً وَ لاَ يَقْطَعُ ذِكْرَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَنْ لِسَانِهِ».
Hadith.2152 - In another narration: "This reward is for the one who performs Tawaf around the House after the sun has passed its zenith, bareheaded, barefoot, taking short steps, lowering their gaze, touching the Black Stone in every circuit without causing harm to anyone, and keeping the remembrance of Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, continuously on their tongue."
2310 - وَ رُوِيَ : «أَنَّ اَلْكَعْبَةَ شَكَتْ إِلَى اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي اَلْفَتْرَةِ بَيْنَ عِيسَى وَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَبِّ مَا لِي قَلَّ زُوَّارِي مَا لِي قَلَّ عُوَّادِي فَأَوْحَى اَللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلاَلُهُ إِلَيْهَا «أَنِّي مُنْزِلٌ نُوراً جَدِيداً عَلَى قَوْمٍ يَحِنُّونَ إِلَيْكِ كَمَا تَحِنُّ اَلْأَنْعَامُ إِلَى أَوْلاَدِهَا وَ يُزَفُّونَ إِلَيْكِ كَمَا تُزَفُّ اَلنِّسْوَانُ إِلَى أَزْوَاجِهَا» يَعْنِي أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ ».
Hadith.2310 - It has been narrated:
"The Kaaba complained to Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, during the period between Isa (as) and Muhammad (sw), saying, 'O Lord (azj), why have my visitors decreased? Why have those who come to me diminished?'
Allah (swt), Glorified and Exalted, revealed to it: 'I will send down a new light upon a people who will long for you as livestock long for their young and who will come to you in procession as brides are escorted to their husbands.'
This refers to the Ummah of Muhammad (sw) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family)."
2153 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : «إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حَوْلَ اَلْكَعْبَةِ عِشْرِينَ وَ مِائَةَ رَحْمَةٍ مِنْهَا سِتُّونَ لِلطَّائِفِينَ وَ أَرْبَعُونَ لِلْمُصَلِّينَ وَ عِشْرُونَ لِلنَّاظِرِينَ ».
Hadith.2153 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said:
"Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, has around the Kaaba one hundred and twenty mercies: sixty for those performing Tawaf, forty for those praying, and twenty for those merely looking at it."
2311 - وَ رَوَى حَرِيزٌ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ : «وُجِدَ فِي حَجَرٍ «أَنِّي أَنَا اَللَّهُ ذُو بَكَّةَ صَنَعْتُهَا يَوْمَ خَلَقْتُ اَلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَ اَلْأَرْضَ وَ يَوْمَ خَلَقْتُ اَلشَّمْسَ وَ اَلْقَمَرَ وَ حَفَفْتُهَا بِسَبْعَةِ أَمْلاَكٍ حَفّاً مُبَارَكٌ لِأَهْلِهَا فِي اَلْمَاءِ وَ اَللَّبَنِ يَأْتِيهَا رِزْقُهَا مِنْ سُبُلٍ مِنْ أَعْلاَهَا وَ أَسْفَلِهَا وَ اَلثَّنِيَّةِ ».
Hadith.2311 - Hariz narrated from Abu Abdullah (as), who said:
"It was found inscribed on a stone: 'I am Allah (swt), the Lord (azj) of Bakkah. I created it on the day I created the heavens and the earth, the day I created the sun and the moon. I surrounded it with seven blessed angels, a sanctuary blessed for its people with water and milk. Its sustenance comes to it from paths above and below and through the mountain passes.'"

Hadith.2312 - It has been narrated:
"It was found inscribed on another stone: 'This is the Sacred House of Allah (swt) in Mecca. Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has guaranteed the sustenance of its people through three blessed means. It is blessed for its people in meat and water.'"
2155 - وَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : «مَنْ صَلَّى عِنْدَ اَلْمَقَامِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ عَدَلَتَا عِتْقَ سِتِّ نَسَمَاتٍ.
Hadith.2155 - Abu Ja’far (as) said:
"Whoever prays two Rak’ahs at the Station of Ibrahim, it is equivalent to freeing six souls."
2156 - وَ طَوَافٌ قَبْلَ اَلْحَجِّ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ طَوَافاً بَعْدَ اَلْحَجِّ ».
Hadith.2156 - A single Tawaf performed before Hajj is better than seventy Tawafs performed after Hajj.
