قَالَ لِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ع يَا عِيسَى إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَرَاكَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيمَا بَيْنَ الْحَجِّ إِلَى الْحَجِّ وَ أَنْتَ تَتَهَيَّأُ لِلْحَجِّ.
“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), once said to me , ‘O ‘Isa, I love that Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, see you in one al-Hajj to another al-Hajj and you are getting ready for another al-Hajj.’”
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنِ اتَّخَذَ مَحْمِلًا لِلْحَجِّ كَانَ كَمَنْ رَبَطَ فَرَساً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One who prepares a carriage (carried on camel back) for al-Hajj is like one who prepares a horse to be used in the way of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious.”’
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ مَنْ رَجَعَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ وَ هُوَ يَنْوِي الْحَجَّ مِنْ قَابِلٍ زِيدَ فِي عُمُرِهِ.
‘One who returns from Makkah with an intention to return to al-Hajj again in the future lives longer.’”
