25. Ali has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “He (the Imam) has said, that when the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, left an Arab came to him in al- Abtah and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, I wanted to perform Hajj but something prevented me. I am a wealthy person. Command me to do something with my wealth that benefits me like the benefit of performing Hajj. The Messenger of Allah then looked to abu Qubays hill and said, “Even if you spend an amount of gold equal to the weight of abu Qubays hill for the cause of Allah, you will not gain the benefit of Hajj.’”
