7ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ خَلَفِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ مَنْ سَعَى فِي حَاجَةِ أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ فَاجْتَهَدَ فِيهَا فَأَجْرَى الله عَلَى يَدَيْهِ قَضَاءَهَا كَتَبَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ حَجَّةً وَعُمْرَةً وَاعْتِكَافَ شَهْرَيْنِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَصِيَامَهُمَا وَإِنِ اجْتَهَدَ فِيهَا وَلَمْ يُجْرِ الله قَضَاءَهَا عَلَى يَدَيْهِ كَتَبَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ حَجَّةً وَعُمْرَةً.
7. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from his father from Khalaf Hammad from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar from abu Basir from Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام who has said the following: “Whoever endeavors to help his Muslim brother (in belief) and strives in it and Allah makes it (such help) possible through him, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, writes down for him the reward for one Hajj, one ‘Umrah and ‘l’tikaf (a certain form of worship) for two months in the Sacred Mosque with fasting. If he strives without success, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, writes down for him the reward for one Hajj and one ‘Umrah.”
