Chapter on Delaying the Performance of Hajj

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَمْ يَحُجَّ قَطُّ وَ لَهُ مَالٌ فَقَالَ «هُوَ مِمَّنْ قَالَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ « وَ نَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ اَلْقِيٰامَةِ أَعْمىٰ » » فَقُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اَللَّهِ أَعْمَى فَقَالَ «أَعْمَاهُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَنْ طَرِيقِ اَلْخَيْرِ».
It was narrated from Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who had never performed Hajj despite having wealth. Imam عليه السلام said: "He is among those about whom Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, says: 'And We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind.' (Surah Ta-Ha 20:124)." I said: "Glory be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى! Blind?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, has blinded him from the path of goodness."
