Hadith.2252 - It has been narrated: "The pilgrim and the one performing Umrah return like two newborns—one who died as an infant without sin, and the other who lived their life free from sin."
وَ الْحَاجُّ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَصْنَافٍ فَأَفْضَلُهُمْ نَصِيباً رَجُلٌ يُغْفَرُ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَ مَا تَأَخَّرَ وَ وَقَاهُ اللَّهُ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ وَ أَمَّا الَّذِي يَلِيهِ فَرَجُلٌ غُفِرَ لَهُ ذَنْبُهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْهُ وَ يَسْتَأْنِفُ الْعَمَلَ فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمُرِهِ وَ أَمَّا الَّذِي يَلِيهِ فَرَجُلٌ يُحْفَظُ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَ مَالِهِ[3]. - وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ هُوَ الَّذِي لَا يُقْبَلُ مِن
Hadith.2253 - The pilgrim falls into three categories: The one with the greatest reward is a person whose past and his future sins are forgiven, and Allah (swt) protects them from the punishment of the grave. The next is a person whose past sins are forgiven, and they start anew in their remaining life with fresh deeds
مَنْ جَاوَرَ سَنَةً بِمَكَّةَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ذَنْبَهُ وَ لِأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ لِكُلِّ مَنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ وَ لِعَشِيرَتِهِ وَ لِجِيرَانِهِ ذُنُوبَ تِسْعِ سِنِينَ وَ قَدْ مَضَتْ وَ عُصِمُوا مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ أَرْبَعِينَ وَ مِائَةَ سَنَةٍ. وَ الِانْصِرَافُ وَ الرُّجُوعُ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْمُجَاوَرَةِ[5]
وَ قَالَ ع بَادِرُوا بِالسَّلَامِ عَلَى الْحَاجِّ وَ الْمُعْتَمِرِينَ وَ مُصَافَحَتِهِمْ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تُخَالِطَهُمُ الذُّنُوبُ[5].
Hadith.2265 - Imam (as) said: "Hasten to greet the pilgrims and those performing Umrah and to shake their hands before sins mingle with them."
و من دفن في الحرم أمن من الفزع الأكبر من بر الناس و فاجرهم[6].
Hadith.2272 - Whoever is buried in the Sacred Sanctuary will be safe from the Great Terror, whether they were righteous or sinful.

Hadith.2329 - He (Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar) said: I asked him (Imam Abu Abdullah (as)) about the words of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic: "And whoever intends a deviation therein or wrongdoing, We will make him taste a painful punishment." (Surah Al-Hajj 22:25) Imam (as) replied: "Every act of injustice is a form of d

If you are saved, it is by the mercy of Allah

Hadith.2590 - Abu Basir asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a Muhrim (one in a state of Ihram) who looked at the leg of a woman or her private part and ejaculated.

I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a Muhrim (one in the state of Ihram) who intends to perform a certain action, and his companions say to him, "By Allah (swt), do not do it." This person then replies, "By Allah (swt), I will do it," and they exchange such oaths repeatedly. Does this make him liable for what applies to on

I heard Abu Abdullah (as) say: "Whoever is offered the opportunity to perform Hajj, even if it is on a maimed donkey with a cut-off tail, and he refuses, then he is considered capable of performing Hajj."
