If People Neglect al-Hajj, Torment Will Come upon Them

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from Hanan ibn Sadir from his father who has said the following: “I once mentioned the House before abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, and he said, ‘If people neglect it one year, they will not be given any chance to avoid the coming of torment upon them.’”

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hajjal from Hammad who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin would say to his sons, ‘My sons, take the House of your Lord in your consideration so it is not left without your presence therein; otherwise, you will risk coming of torment upon you.”’

4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from abu al- Mighra’ from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that religion (al-Islam) will continue to exist as long as al-Ka‘bah is maintained.”
