Reward of Hajj and Umrah

7. A person told Imam Zainul Abideen عليه السلام, “You did not perform Jihad as it was difficult and performed Hajj as it is easy.” Imam was resting his back against the wall. He sat up straight and said, “Woe be on you. The saying of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم at the time of the Last Hajj did not reach you. Surely, the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم conveyed to people through Bilal at sunset to keep quiet. When people fell silent, the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said, “The Almighty Allah has made this day blessed for you. He has forgiven righteous among you and accepted their intercession for those who sinned. Go away for you are forgiven and you have gained the pleasure of Allah for those among you who were sinners.”
