رَوَى عُمَرُ بْنُ أُذَيْنَةَ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ حَجَّ وَ لاَ يَدْرِي وَ لاَ يَعْرِفُ هَذَا اَلْأَمْرَ ثُمَّ مَنَّ اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بِمَعْرِفَتِهِ وَ اَلدَّيْنُونَةِ بِهِ أَ عَلَيْهِ حَجَّةُ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ قَالَ «قَدْ قَضَى فَرِيضَةَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اَلْحَجُّ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ».
Umar ibn Udhaynah narrated: I wrote to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام asking about a man who performed Hajj without knowing or recognizing this [truthful] matter. Then Allah سبحانه وتعالى blessed him with understanding and adherence to it. Is the Hajj of Islam still obligatory upon him? Imam عليه السلام replied: "He has fulfilled the obligation of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, but performing Hajj again is more beloved to me."

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْخُرَاسَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ اَلثَّانِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنِّي حَجَجْتُ وَ أَنَا مُخَالِفٌ وَ حَجَجْتُ حَجَّتِي هَذِهِ وَ قَدْ مَنَّ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيَّ بِمَعْرِفَتِكُمْ وَ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ اَلَّذِي كُنْتُ فِيهِ كَانَ بَاطِلاً فَمَا تَرَى فِي حَجَّتِي قَالَ «اِجْعَلْ هَذِهِ حَجَّةَ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ وَ تِلْكَ نَافِلَةً ».
It was narrated from Abu Abdullah al-Khurasani, from Abu Ja'far al-Thani, Imam Muhammad al-Jawad عليه السلام, who said: I said to him: "I performed Hajj while I was a dissenter, and now I have performed this Hajj after Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, has blessed me with the knowledge of you (Ahlulbayt). I have come to know that what I was upon was false. What is your view of my previous Hajj?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Make this [current] Hajj the Hajj of Islam, and consider the previous one as a supererogatory (nafl) Hajj."
