Hajj & Pilgrimage

اشْتَرُوا السُّودَ الْقِبَاحَ فَإِنَّهَا أَطْوَلُ الْإِبِلِ أَعْمَاراً[6]

الْإِبِلُ عِزٌّ لِأَهْلِهَا[7]

وَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‌ أَنْ يُتَخَطَّى الْقِطَارُ[1] قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ لِمَ قَالَ لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ قِطَارٍ إِلَّا وَ مَا بَيْنَ الْبَعِيرِ إِلَى الْبَعِيرِ شَيْطَانٌ.

Hadith.2487 - The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon him and his family) forbade stepping over the camel line (caravan).

Hadith.2488 - The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon him and his family) was asked: "Which wealth is best?"

وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص‌ أَخِّرُوا الْأَحْمَالَ فَإِنَّ الْيَدَيْنِ مُعَلَّقَةٌ وَ الرِّجْلَيْنِ مُوثَقَةٌ.

يَا غُلَامُ اعْدِلْ عَلَى هَذَا الْحَمْلِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يُحِبُّ الْعَدْلَ.

A caravan passed by Abu Abdullah (as), and he noticed a pack camel that had leaned to one side under its load. Imam (as) said: "O boy, adjust the load on this animal, for Allah (swt), the Exalted, loves justice."

الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ صَبِيحٍ يَقُولُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ أَبَا حَنِيفَةَ[4] رَأَى هِلَالَ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ بِالْقَادِسِيَّةِ وَ شَهِدَ مَعَنَا عَرَفَةَ- فَقَالَ مَا لِهَذَا صَلَاةٌ مَا لِهَذَا صَلَاةٌ[1].

I heard Al-Walid ibn Sabih say to Abu Abdullah (as): "Abu Hanifah saw the crescent moon of Dhu al-Hijjah at Qadisiyyah and attended Arafat with us." Abu Abdullah (as) replied: "This act has no prayer, this act has no prayer (i.e., it is not valid or accepted)."

Hadith.2502 - It is narrated that a group of people who were walking met the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon him and his family), and they complained to him about the difficulty of walking. Prophet (sw) said to them: "Seek assistance through walking briskly (nasl)."

نَعَمْ إِنَّ حَجَّةَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَاجِبَةٌ عَلَى مَنْ أَطَاقَ الْمَشْيَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ لَقَدْ كَانَ أَكْثَرُ مَنْ حَجَّ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مُشَاةً وَ لَقَدْ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِكُرَاعِ الْغَمِيمِ‌[5] فَشَكَوْا إِلَيْهِ الْجَهْدَ وَ الطَّاقَةَ وَ الْإِعْيَاءَ فَقَالَ شُدُّوا أُزُرَكُمْ وَ اسْتَبْطِنُوا فَفَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ فَذَهَبَ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُمْ.

Hadith.2503 - Mu‘awiyah ibn Ammar asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who has debt: "Is he obligated to perform Hajj?" Imam (as) replied: "Yes, the Hajj of Islam is obligatory upon those Muslims who can walk. Indeed, most of those who performed Hajj with the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace of Allah (swt) be upon him an

I asked him about the verse of Allah (swt), the Exalted: "And [due] to Allah (swt) from the people is a pilgrimage to the House—whoever is able to find thereto a way" (Surah Aal-E-Imran 3:97). Imam (as) replied: "He should set out on foot if he has nothing." I said: "What if he cannot walk?" Imam (as) said: "Then he sh

Hadith.2511 - Imam (as) said: "When a stranger faces death, he looks to his right and left but sees no one. He raises his head, and Allah (swt), the Mighty and Glorious, says: 'To whom do you turn?

Hadith.2513 - In a narration by Abu al-Husayn al-Asadi, may Allah (swt) be pleased with him, Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Whoever embraces a pilgrim while the dust of the journey is still on them, it is as if they have touched the Black Stone."

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنْ يَطْرُقَ الرَّجُلُ أَهْلَهُ لَيْلًا إِذَا جَاءَ مِنَ الْغَيْبَةِ حَتَّى يُؤْذِنَهُمْ[1].

وَ قَالَ ع‌ السَّفَرُ قِطْعَةٌ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ فَإِذَا قَضَى أَحَدُكُمْ سَفَرَهُ فَلْيُسْرِعِ الْإِيَابَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ‌[2].

Hadith.2515 - Imam (as) said: "Travel is a portion of torment, so when one of you has completed their journey, let them hasten to return to their family."

سَيْرُ الْمَنَازِلِ يُنْفِدُ الزَّادَ وَ يُسِيءُ الْأَخْلَاقَ وَ يُخْلِقُ الثِّيَابَ وَ السَّيْرُ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ[3]

Hadith.2517 - Abdullah ibn Maymun narrated with his chain of transmission that the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon him and his family) said: "If you lose your way, turn to the right."

وَ رَوَى جَعْفَرُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ‌[1] عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ‌ إِنَّ عَلَى ذِرْوَةِ كُلِّ جِسْرٍ شَيْطَاناً[2] فَإِذَا انْتَهَيْتَ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ يَرْحَلْ عَنْكَ.

"At the top of every bridge, there is a devil. When you reach it, say: 'In the name of Allah (swt),' and it will depart from you."

أَنَا ضَامِنٌ لِمَنْ خَرَجَ يُرِيدُ سَفَراً مُعْتَمّاً تَحْتَ حَنَكِهِ ثَلَاثاً أَلَّا يُصِيبَهُ السَّرَقُ وَ الْغَرَقُ وَ الْحَرَقُ[3]

"The Hajj is in well-known months" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:197)—Shawwal, Dhu al-Qa‘dah, and Dhu al-Hijjah. Whoever intends to perform Hajj should let their hair grow from the sighting of the crescent of Dhu al-Qa‘dah. Whoever intends to perform ‘Umrah should let their hair grow for a month."

لَا بَأْسَ وَ لَا بَأْسَ بِالنُّورَةِ وَ السِّوَاكِ‌[3].

I asked Imam (as) about cupping and shaving the nape during the months of Hajj. Imam (as) said: "There is no harm in it, nor in using Nuura (depilatory cream) or a toothstick (siwak)."

"It suffices you, if you do not know the location of Al-‘Aqiq, to ask the people and the Bedouins about it."

Hadith.2527 - Mu‘awiyah ibn Ammar asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man from Medina who assumed Ihram from Al-Juhfa. Imam (as) replied: "There is no harm."

I said to Abu Abdullah (as): "In Kufa, it is narrated that Imam Ali (as) said: 'Part of the completion of your Hajj is assuming Ihram from the vicinity of your home.'" Imam (as) replied: "Glory be to Allah (swt)! If it were as they say, the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon him and hi

Hadith.2530 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about a man whose home is beyond Al-Juhfa: "From where should he assume Ihram?" Imam (as) replied: "From his home."

وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ مَنْ كَانَ مَنْزِلُهُ دُونَ الْمَوَاقِيتِ مَا بَيْنَهَا وَ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُحْرِمَ مِنْ مَنْزِلِهِ‌[6].

Hadith.2531 - In another narration: "Whoever's home is within the boundaries between the miqats and Makkah must assume Ihram from their home."

"Whoever resides in Medina intending to perform Hajj for a month or so, and then decides to depart on a route other than that of Medina, when they are opposite Al-Shajarah and Al-Bayda, a distance of six miles, they should assume Ihram from there."

إِذَا انْتَهَيْتَ إِلَى الْعَقِيقِ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْعِرَاقِ أَوْ إِلَى وَقْتٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمَوَاقِيتِ وَ أَنْتَ تُرِيدُ الْإِحْرَامَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَانْتِفْ إِبْطَيْكَ[2] وَ قَلِّمْ أَظْفَارَكَ وَ اطْلِ عَانَتَكَ وَ خُذْ مِنْ شَارِبِكَ وَ لَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّ ذَلِكَ بَدَأْتَ ثُمَّ اسْتَكْ وَ اغْتَسِلْ وَ الْبَسْ ثَوْبَيْكَ[3] وَ لْيَكُنْ فَرَاغُكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عِنْدَ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ

أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ نَحْنُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ عَنِ التَّهَيُّؤِ لِلْإِحْرَامِ فَقَالَ اطَّلِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَ تَجَهَّزْ بِكُلِّ مَا تُرِيدُ وَ اغْتَسِلْ إِنْ شِئْتَ‌[2]- وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ اسْتَمْتَعْتَ بِقَمِيصِكَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ مَسْجِدَ الشَّجَرَةِ.

Hadith.2534 - Mu‘awiyah ibn Wahb narrated: I asked Abu Abdullah (as) in Medina about preparing for Ihram. Imam (as) said: "Prepare yourself in Medina, take everything you need, and if you wish, perform ghusl (ritual bath). If you wish, you may continue wearing your shirt until you reach Masjid al-Shajarah."
