لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ رَجُلًا أَوْصَى إِلَيَّ بِشَيْ‌ءٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لِي اصْرِفْهُ فِي الْحَجِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَوْصَى إِلَيَّ فِي السَّبِيلِ قَالَ اصْرِفْهُ فِي الْحَجِّ فَإِنِّي لَا أَعْلَمُ سَبِيلًا مِنْ سُبُلِهِ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْحَجِ‌[3]. قَالَ: سَبِيلُ اللَّهِ شِيعَتُنَا.

I said to Abu Abdullah (as), "A man made a will to me regarding something in the way of Allah (swt)." Imam (as) said to me: "Use it for Hajj." I said: "He made a will to me in the way." Imam (as) said: "Use it for Hajj, for I do not know of any path among His (swt) paths better than Hajj."
