إِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ لَتَدْفَعُ سَبْعِينَ بَلِيَّةً مِنْ بَلَايَا الدُّنْيَا مَعَ مِيتَةِ السَّوْءِ إِنَّ صَاحِبَهَا لَا يَمُوتُ مِيتَةَ السَّوْءِ أَبَداً مَعَ مَا يُدَّخَرُ لِصَاحِبِهَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ.
“Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘Giving charity repels seventy kinds of worldly misfortunes as well as disgraceful death. One who gives charity never dies a disgraceful death and will have his reward on the Day of Judgment.”

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya and others have narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad from Musa ibn ‘Umar from ibn Sinan from abu Sa‘id al-Qammat from Bukayr ibn A’yan who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, ‘For what reason has Allah placed the Black Stone at the corner where it is and not in othe
إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَمَّا أَصَابَ آدَمُ وَ زَوْجَتُهُ الْحِنْطَةَ[2] أَخْرَجَهُمَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ أَهْبَطَهُمَا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَأُهْبِطَ آدَمُ عَلَى الصَّفَا[3] وَ أُهْبِطَتْ حَوَّاءُ عَلَى الْمَرْوَةِ وَ إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ صَفًا لِأَنَّهُ شُقَّ لَهُ مِنِ اسْمِ آدَمَ الْمُصْطَفَى وَ ذَلِكَ لِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفى آدَمَ وَ نُوحاً[4] وَ سُمِّيَتِ الْمَرْوَةُ مَرْوَةً لِأَنّ
1. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Salih ibn abu Hammad from al-Husayn ibn Yazid from al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn abu Hamzah who has said the following: “Abu Ibrahim from abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, when Adam and his spouse were affected by the tree of wheat
إِنَّ آدَمَ ع لَمَّا أُهْبِطَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ أُهْبِطَ عَلَى الصَّفَا وَ لِذَلِكَ سُمِّيَ الصَّفَا لِأَنَّ الْمُصْطَفَى هَبَطَ عَلَيْهِ فَقُطِعَ لِلْجَبَلِ اسْمٌ مِنِ اسْمِ آدَمَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفى آدَمَ وَ نُوحاً وَ آلَ إِبْراهِيمَ وَ آلَ عِمْرانَ عَلَى الْعالَمِينَ[1] وَ أُهْبِطَتْ حَوَّاءُ عَلَى الْمَرْوَةِ وَ إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَتِ الْمَرْوَةُ مَرْوَةً لِأَنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ هَبَطَت
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that when Adam landed on al-Safa’ and it is called al- Safa’; al-Mustafa (the chosen one) landed there. For this reason it is called (al-Safa’); it is derived from Adam’s name al-Mustafa’ (the chosen one) as Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has said, “Allah chose Adam and No

2. It is narrated that ’Amir al-Mu’minin once said in his sermon the following: “’Amir al-Mu’minin, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that if Allah, Glorious is whose praise, wanted, He could have opened to His prophets the treasures of gold (stored), mines of pure growing gold, placed at their disposal, gardens of plantation

“One of the two Imam, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said that Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, commanded Ibrahim to build al-Ka‘bah, to raise its foundations and show people how to perform the acts of their hajj. Ibrahim and Isma‘il built the House. They did it by doing a certain amount every day until they ended
أَنْ يَدْرُسَ الْحَرَمُ فَوَضَعَ أَنْصَابَهُ وَ كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ وَضَعَهَا ثُمَّ غَلَبَتْ جُرْهُمُ[1] عَلَى وِلَايَةِ الْبَيْتِ فَكَانَ يَلِي مِنْهُمْ كَابِرٌ عَنْ كَابِرٍ حَتَّى بَغَتْ جُرْهُمُ بِمَكَّةَ وَ اسْتَحَلُّوا حُرْمَتَهَا وَ أَكَلُوا مَالَ الْكَعْبَةِ وَ ظَلَمُوا مَنْ دَخَلَ مَكَّةَ وَ عَتَوْا وَ بَغَوْا وَ كَانَتْ مَكَّةُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ لَا يَظْلِمُ وَ لَا يَبْغِي فِيهَا وَ لَا يَسْتَحِلُّ حُرْمَت
“Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘Up to the time of ‘Adnan ibn ’Udad, descendents of Isma‘il were the caretakers of the House. They showed people how to perform the acts of Hajj and taught them religious matters, one generation after the other. After such a long time, their hearts became hard and they became corrupt and i

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that when the Ethiopian king came with elephants to destroy the Ka‘bah, they passed by the camels of ‘Abd al-Muttalib and took them for themselves. ‘Abd al-Muttalib went to the king, asking him to release his camels. He asked permission for a meeting, which was granted. He (the king) wa

“They have said that Quraysh had demolished al-Ka‘bah because of flood that would come from the upper part of Makkah and enter al-Ka‘bah. Damages would take place and a deer made of gold with its legs made of diamond was stolen. The walls were not high enough. This happened thirty years before Allah commanded His proph

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that when the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, arrived in Makkah on the day of its liberation, he

“The one who looks at the Kabah with an understanding, so he recognises from our rights and our sanctity, is like the one who recognises from it (Kabah’s) rights, and its Sanctity. Allah would Forgive for him his sins, and suffice him for the concerns of the world and the Hereafter.“

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan all from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family wor
الْحَجُّ وَ الْعُمْرَةُ سُوقَانِ مِنْ أَسْوَاقِ الْآخِرَةِ اللَّازِمُ لَهُمَا فِي ضَمَانِ اللَّهِ إِنْ أَبْقَاهُ أَدَّاهُ إِلَى عِيَالِهِ وَ إِنْ أَمَاتَهُ أَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that al-Hajj and al-‘Umrah are two market places (that deal with the merchandise) of the next life. Those who attach themselves to these two are part of the undertaking of Allah. He returns them to their families if He decides to keep them living, or admits them in paradise if He decide
الْحَجُّ وَ الْعُمْرَةُ سُوقَانِ مِنْ أَسْوَاقِ الْآخِرَةِ وَ الْعَامِلُ بِهِمَا فِي جِوَارِ اللَّهِ إِنْ أَدْرَكَ مَا يَأْمُلُ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَ إِنْ قَصُرَ بِهِ أَجَلُهُ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that al-Hajj and al-‘Umrah are market places for the next life in which the workers are neighbors of Allah. If they find what they hope, Allah grants them forgiveness, but if the appointed time for his death did not give him a chance, the reward for him remains with Allah.”

Ali ibn Ibrahim 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: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that once, two men came to the Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of thei

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘All of the people who stay in those hills, good or evil, Allah answers them all. People of good deed receive answers for the worldly and the hereafter and the people of evil deeds receive answer to their worldly matters.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that if one dies on the way to or from Makkah, he receives immunity against the terror of the Day of Judgment.”

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, ‘One who is blind in this life in the next life will also be blind and in much more straying.’ (17:72) He (the Imam) replied, ‘He is one who procrastinates in performing al-Hajj, which is Hajjahta al-Islam, until death

“I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘If one dies without performing al-Hajj when in good health and wealthy, he is one of those about whom Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has said, ‘We will, on the Day of Judgment, raise him blind.’ (20:124) I (the narrator) then said, ‘Allah is free of all defects.

A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from ‘Isa ibn ‘Abdullah al-Qummiy from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Say: ‘O Allah, I appeal before You to grant my soul certainty, forgiveness and good health in this life and in the next life.

‘The last section of al-‘Aqiq is Barid of Awtas.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Barid al-Ba‘th is two Barid before Ghamrah.””

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The beginning of al-‘Aqiq is Barid al-Ba‘th, and it is six miles before al-Maslakh from the side of Iraq; between this and Ghamrah there is twenty four miles and two Barid.’” “Certain persons of our people have said, ‘When you come out of al-Maslakh, then assume the state of Ihram at
