قَدْ آثَرْتَ اَلْحَجَّ عَلَى اَلْجِهَادِ وَ قَدْ قَالَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ « إِنَّ اَللّٰهَ اِشْتَرىٰ مِنَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ أَمْوٰالَهُمْ بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ اَلْجَنَّةَ » إِلَى آخِرِهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ «فَاقْرَأْ مَا بَعْدَهَا فَقَالَ « اَلتّٰائِبُونَ اَلْعٰابِدُونَ اَلْحٰامِدُونَ » إِلَى أَنْ بَلَغَ آخِرَ اَلْآيَةِ فَقَالَ «إِذَا رَأَيْتَ هَؤُلاَءِ فَالْجِهَادُ مَعَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ اَلْحَجِّ».

Hadith.2220 - A man came to Imam Ali ibn Al-Husayn (as) and said: "You have preferred Hajj over Jihad, while Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, says: 'Indeed, Allah (swt) has purchased from the believers their lives and their wealth in exchange for Paradise'" (Surah At-Tawbah, 9:111). Imam Ali ibn Al-Husayn (as) replied: "Read what comes after it." The man continued: 'Those who repent, worship, praise...' (Surah At-Tawbah, 9:112) until he reached the end of the verse. Then Imam Ali ibn Al-Husayn (as) said: "When you see these qualities (in people), then Jihad alongside them is better than Hajj."
