6 hadiths
رَوَى اَلسَّكُونِيُّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ: أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أَبْصَرَ نَاقَةً مَعْقُولَةً وَ عَلَيْهَا جَهَازُهَا فَقَالَ «أَيْنَ صَاحِبُهَا مُرُوهُ فَلْيَسْتَعِدَّ غَداً لِلْخُصُومَةِ.
Al-Sakuni narrated with his chain of transmission that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah سبحانه وتعالى be upon him and his family) saw a camel tied up with its gear still on it. Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: "Where is its owner? Tell him to prepare for a dispute tomorrow (on the Day of Judgment)."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ قَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: «أَخِّرُوا اَلْأَحْمَالَ فَإِنَّ اَلْيَدَيْنِ مُعَلَّقَةٌ وَ اَلرِّجْلَيْنِ مُوثَقَةٌ.
In another narration, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah سبحانه وتعالى be upon him and his family) said: "Delay the loading (of animals), for their front legs are suspended, and their hind legs are bound."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ اَللَّحَّامِ قَالَ: مَرَّ قِطَارٌ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَرَأَى زَامِلَةً قَدْ مَالَتْ فَقَالَ «يَا غُلاَمُ اِعْدِلْ عَلَى هَذَا اَلْحَمْلِ فَإِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَعَالَى يُحِبُّ اَلْعَدْلَ».
Ibn Faddal narrated from Hammad al-Lahham, who said: A caravan passed by Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, and he noticed a pack camel that had leaned to one side under its load. Imam عليه السلام said: "O boy, adjust the load on this animal, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, loves justice."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 123
وَ رُوِيَ أَيُّوبُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ اَلْوَلِيدَ بْنَ صَبِيحٍ يَقُولُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنَّ أَبَا حَنِيفَةَ رَأَى هِلاَلَ ذِي اَلْحِجَّةِ بِالْقَادِسِيَّةِ وَ شَهِدَ مَعَنَا عَرَفَةَ فَقَالَ «مَا لِهَذَا صَلاَةٌ مَا لِهَذَا صَلاَةٌ ».
It is narrated from Ayyub ibn A‘yan, who said: I heard Al-Walid ibn Sabih say to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "Abu Hanifah saw the crescent moon of Dhu al-Hijjah at Qadisiyyah and attended Arafat with us." Abu Abdullah عليه السلام replied: "This act has no prayer, this act has no prayer (i.e., it is not valid or accepted)."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ حَجَّ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ لَهُ أَرْبَعِينَ حَجَّةً فَمَا قَرَعَهَا بِسَوْطٍ.
Imam Ali ibn al-Husayn عليه السلام performed Hajj forty times on his camel, and Imam عليه السلام never struck it with a whip.
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «أَيُّ بَعِيرٍ حُجَّ عَلَيْهِ ثَلاَثَ سِنِينَ يُجْعَلُ مِنْ نَعَمِ اَلْجَنَّةِ » وَ رُوِيَ «سَبْعَ سِنِينَ ».
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "Any camel on which Hajj is performed for three years will be counted among the livestock of Paradise." In another narration, it is reported as "seven years."
