وَ مَنْ حَجَّ أَرْبَعَ حِجَجٍ لَمْ تُصِبْهُ ضَغْطَةُ الْقَبْرِ أَبَداً وَ إِذَا مَاتَ صَوَّرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الْحِجَجَ الَّتِي حَجَّ فِي صُورَةٍ حَسَنَةٍ أَحْسَنَ مَا يَكُونُ مِنَ الصُّوَرِ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ تُصَلِّي فِي جَوْفِ قَبْرِهِ حَتَّى يَبْعَثَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ قَبْرِهِ وَ يَكُونُ ثَوَابُ تِلْكَ الصَّلَاةِ لَهُ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ الرَّكْعَةَ مِنْ تِلْكَ الصَّلَاةِ تَعْدِلُ أَلْفَ رَكْعَةٍ م

Hadith.2209 - Whoever performs four Hajj will never experience the compression of the grave. When they die, Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, will transform the Hajj they performed into a beautiful form, the most excellent of forms, placed before their eyes. It will pray in their grave until Allah (swt) resurrects them

وَ مَنْ حَجَّ خَمْسَ حِجَجٍ لَمْ يُعَذِّبْهُ اللَّهُ أَبَداً وَ مَنْ حَجَّ عَشْرَ حِجَجٍ لَمْ يُحَاسِبْهُ اللَّهُ أَبَداً وَ مَنْ حَجَّ عِشْرِينَ حَجَّةً لَمْ يَرَ جَهَنَّمَ وَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ شَهِيقَهَا وَ لَا زَفِيرَهَا[2].

Hadith.2210 - Whoever performs five Hajj will never be punished by Allah (swt). Whoever performs ten Hajj will never be subjected to an accounting by Allah (swt). And whoever performs twenty Hajj will never see Hellfire, nor will they hear its roaring or its raging.

وَ مَنْ حَجَّ أَرْبَعِينَ حَجَّةً قِيلَ لَهُ اشْفَعْ فِيمَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَ يُفْتَحُ لَهُ بَابٌ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ هُوَ وَ مَنْ يَشْفَعُ لَهُ‌[3].

Hadith.2211 - Whoever performs forty Hajj will be told, 'Intercede for whomever you wish,' and a door of Paradise will be opened for them through which they and those for whom they intercede will enter.

وَ مَنْ حَجَّ خَمْسِينَ حَجَّةً بُنِيَ لَهُ مَدِينَةٌ فِي جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ فِيهَا أَلْفُ قَصْرٍ فِي كُلِّ قَصْرٍ أَلْفُ حَوْرَاءَ مِنْ حُورِ الْعِينِ وَ أَلْفُ زَوْجَةٍ وَ يُجْعَلُ مِنْ رُفَقَاءِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص فِي الْجَنَّةِ[4].

Hadith.2212 - Whoever performs fifty Hajj will have a city built for them in the Garden of Eden. Within it will be a thousand palaces, each containing a thousand Houris from the maidens of Paradise and a thousand spouses. They will be made companions of Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, in Parad

وَ مَنْ حَجَّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ خَمْسِينَ حَجَّةً كَانَ كَمَنْ حَجَّ خَمْسِينَ حَجَّةً مَعَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ ص وَ كَانَ مِمَّنْ يَزُورُهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ كُلَّ جُمُعَةٍ وَ هُوَ مِمَّنْ يَدْخُلُ جَنَّةَ عَدْنٍ الَّتِي خَلَقَهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِيَدِهِ وَ لَمْ تَرَهَا عَيْنٌ وَ لَمْ يَطَّلِعْ عَلَيْهَا مَخْلُوقٌ وَ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يُكْثِرُ الْحَجَّ إِلَّا بَنَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ بِكُلِّ

Hadith.2213 - Whoever performs more than fifty Hajj is like one who performed fifty Hajj alongside Muhammad and the Awsiya (successors), peace be upon them. Such a person will be among those whom Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, visits every Friday and will be among those who enter the Garden of Eden, which Allah (swt

Hadith.2215 - Ishaq ibn Ammar said: I said to Abu Abdullah (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq), peace be upon him: "I have resolved to perform Hajj every year, either by myself or by sending someone from my household using my wealth." Imam (as) asked: "Have you firmly decided on this?" I replied: "Yes, I have resolved t

Hadith.2216 - It has been narrated: "No servant draws closer to Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, with anything more beloved to Him than walking to His Sacred House on foot. A single Hajj performed in this manner equals seventy Hajj. And whoever alternates between walking and riding their camel, Allah (swt) records for

وَ الْحَجُّ رَاكِباً أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ مَاشِياً لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص حَجَّ رَاكِباً[3].

Hadith.2217 - "Hajj performed while riding is better than performing it on foot, because the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, performed Hajj while riding."

إِذَا كَانَ الرَّجُلُ مُوسِراً فَمَشَى لِيَكُونَ أَقَلَّ لِنَفَقَتِهِ فَالرُّكُوبُ أَفْضَلُ.

The reconciliation between these narrations is found in: Hadith.2218 - Abu Basir narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) where he asked him: "Is walking better or riding?" The Imam (as) replied: "If a man is wealthy and chooses to walk to reduce his expenses, then riding is better."

وَ كَانَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ع يَمْشِي وَ تُسَاقُ مَعَهُ الْمَحَامِلُ وَ الرِّحَالُ.

Hadith.2219 - Imam Hussain ibn Ali (as) used to walk while the camels carrying the provisions and supplies were driven alongside him.

قَدْ آثَرْتَ اَلْحَجَّ عَلَى اَلْجِهَادِ وَ قَدْ قَالَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «۝ إِنَّ اَللّٰهَ اِشْتَرىٰ مِنَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ أَمْوٰالَهُمْ بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ اَلْجَنَّةَ ۝» إِلَى آخِرِهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ «فَاقْرَأْ مَا بَعْدَهَا فَقَالَ «۝ اَلتّٰائِبُونَ اَلْعٰابِدُونَ اَلْحٰامِدُونَ ۝» إِلَى أَنْ بَلَغَ آخِرَ اَلْآيَةِ فَقَالَ «إِذَا رَأَيْتَ هَؤُلاَءِ فَ

Hadith.2220 - A man came to Imam Ali ibn Al-Husayn (as) and said: "You have preferred Hajj over Jihad, while Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, says: 'Indeed, Allah (swt) has purchased from the believers their lives and their wealth in exchange for Paradise'" (Surah At-Tawbah, 9:111). Imam Ali ibn Al-Husayn (as) replied

وَ مَنْ حَجَّ يُرِيدُ بِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَا يُرِيدُ بِهِ رِيَاءً وَ لَا سُمْعَةً غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ الْبَتَّةَ[2].

Hadith.2221 - Whoever performs Hajj seeking the pleasure of Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, without intending to show off or gain reputation, Allah (swt) will forgive them completely.

مَنْ أَرَادَ دُنْيَا وَ آخِرَةً فَلْيَؤُمَّ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ

وَ مَنْ رَجَعَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ وَ هُوَ يَنْوِي الْحَجَّ مِنْ قَابِلٍ زِيدَ فِي عُمُرِهِ‌[1].

Hadith.2223 - Whoever returns from Makkah intending to perform Hajj again the following year will have their lifespan increased.

وَ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ وَ هُوَ لَا يَنْوِي الْعَوْدَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَدْ قَرُبَ أَجَلُهُ وَ دَنَا عَذَابُهُ‌[2].

Hadith.2224 - Whoever departs from Makkah without intending to return has drawn near to their death, and their punishment approaches.

وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ‌ تَرَوْنَ هَذَا الْجَبَلَ ثَافِلًا إِنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ لَمَّا رَجَعَ مِنْ حَجِّهِ مُرْتَحِلًا إِلَى الشَّامِ أَنْشَأَ يَقُولُ- إِذَا تَرَكْنَا ثَافِلًا يَمِيناً فَلَنْ نَعُودَ بَعْدَهُ سِنِينَا لِلْحَجِّ وَ الْعُمْرَةِ مَا بَقِينَا فَأَمَاتَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَبْلَ أَجَلِهِ‌[3].

Hadith.2225 - It is narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that he said: "Do you see this mountain, Thafil? When Yazid ibn Muawiyah returned from his Hajj and set out toward Sham, he composed these verses: When we leave Thafil to our right, We shall never return for years to come, Neither for Hajj nor Umra

مَا تَخَلَّفَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْحَجِّ إِلَّا بِذَنْبٍ[5] وَ مَا يَعْفُو اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَكْثَرُ

أَصَّدَّقَ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ وَ أَكُنْ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ‌ أَيْ أَحُجَّ.

Hadith.2228 - He was asked about the words of Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic: "So I will give in charity and be among the righteous" (Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:10). Imam (as) said: "'I will give in charity' refers to giving charity, and 'be among the righteous' means performing Hajj."

وَ قَالَ‌ الْعُمْرَةُ إِلَى الْعُمْرَةِ كَفَّارَةُ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا.

Hadith.2229 - Imam (as) said: "Umrah to Umrah is an expiation for what occurs between them."

وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ‌ الْحَجَّةُ ثَوَابُهَا الْجَنَّةُ وَ الْعُمْرَةُ كَفَّارَةُ كُلِّ ذَنْبٍ وَ أَفْضَلُ الْعُمْرَةِ عُمْرَةُ رَجَبٍ‌[6].

Hadith.2230 - It is narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family: "The reward for Hajj is Paradise, and Umrah is an expiation for all sins. The best Umrah is the Umrah performed in the month of Rajab."

كُلُّ نَعِيمٍ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْهُ صَاحِبُهُ إِلَّا مَا كَانَ فِي غَزْوٍ أَوْ حَجٍّ

نَعَمْ هُوَ أَقْضَى لِلدَّيْنِ‌[1].

Hadith.2233 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about a man in debt who borrows money to perform Hajj. Imam (as) said: "Yes, it is more likely to help him repay his debt."

لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ رَجُلًا اسْتَشَارَنِي فِي الْحَجِّ وَ كَانَ ضَعِيفَ الْحَالِ فَأَشَرْتُ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يَحُجَّ فَقَالَ مَا أَخْلَقَكَ أَنْ تَمْرَضَ سَنَةً فَقَالَ فَمَرِضْتُ سَنَةً.

"I said to Abu Abdullah (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq), peace be upon him: 'A man consulted me about performing Hajj, and he was in a weak financial state, so I advised him not to perform Hajj.' The Imam (as) replied: 'How fitting it would be for you to fall ill for a year.' Ishaq said: 'And so I did fall ill for a

Hadith.2237 - It has been narrated: "One obligatory prayer is better than twenty Hajj, and one Hajj is better than a house filled with gold given in charity until nothing remains."

مَا مِنْ حَاجٍّ يَضْحَى مُلَبِّياً[2] حَتَّى تَزُولَ الشَّمْسُ إِلَّا غَابَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ مَعَهَا وَ الْحَجُّ وَ الْعُمْرَةُ يَنْفِيَانِ الْفَقْرَ كَمَا يَنْفِي الْكِيرُ[3] خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ

Imam (as) replied: "It is for the one who prayed i

Hadith.2250 - "The pilgrim carries with them the light of Hajj as long as they do not commit a sin." The gift of a pilgrim is considered part of the expense of Hajj.

وَ مَنْ خَتَمَ الْقُرْآنَ بِمَكَّةَ مِنْ جُمُعَةٍ إِلَى جُمُعَةٍ أَوْ أَقَلَّ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ وَ الْحَسَنَاتِ مِنْ أَوَّلِ جُمُعَةٍ كَانَتْ فِي الدُّنْيَا إِلَى آخِرِ جُمُعَةٍ

Hadith.2256 - "Whoever completes the recitation of the Quran in Makkah, whether from one Friday to the next, in a shorter period, or a longer one, Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, will record for them rewards and good deeds equivalent to every Friday that has passed since the beginning of the world until the last Frid

وَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع‌ مَنْ خَتَمَ الْقُرْآنَ بِمَكَّةَ لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى يَرَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ يَرَى مَنْزِلَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ[2].

Hadith.2257 - Imam Ali ibn Al-Husayn (as) said: "Whoever completes the recitation of the Quran in Makkah will not die until they see the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, and their place in Paradise."

وَ تَسْبِيحَةٌ بِمَكَّةَ تَعْدِلُ خَرَاجَ الْعِرَاقَيْنِ يُنْفَقُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‌[3].

Hadith.2258 - One tasbih (utterance of glorification) in Makkah is equivalent to the revenue of the two Iraqs spent in the way of Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic.
