faqih-2858Vol. 2, p. 420

سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ‌ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يُؤْثِرُ عَلَى الْحَجِّ حَاجَةً مِنْ حَوَائِجِ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا نَظَرَ إِلَى الْمُحَلِّقِينَ قَدِ انْصَرَفُوا قَبْلَ أَنْ تُقْضَى لَهُ تِلْكَ الْحَاجَةُ[2].

"I heard him say: 'No servant gives preference to a worldly need over performing Hajj except that he will see the pilgrims, having completed their rituals and shaved their heads, return before his need is fulfilled.'"
