Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 3|Chapter 2
وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِذَا كَانَ عَشِيَّةُ عَرَفَةَ بَعَثَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَلَكَيْنِ يَتَصَفَّحَانِ وُجُوهَ اَلنَّاسِ فَإِذَا فَقَدَا رَجُلاً قَدْ عَوَّدَ نَفْسَهُ اَلْحَجَّ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ يَا فُلاَنُ مَا فَعَلَ فُلاَنٌ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ اَللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمَا اَللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ حَبَسَهُ عَنِ اَلْحَجِّ فَقْرٌ فَأَغْنِهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ حَبَسَهُ دَيْنٌ فَاقْضِ عَنْهُ دَيْنَهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ حَبَسَهُ مَرَضٌ فَاشْفِهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ حَبَسَهُ مَوْتٌ فَاغْفِرْ لَهُ وَ اِرْحَمْهُ».
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "On the eve of Arafah, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Mighty and Majestic, sends two angels who examine the faces of the people. If they find a man who has accustomed himself to performing Hajj but is absent, one of them says to the other: 'O so-and-so, what happened to so-and-so?' The other responds: 'Allah سبحانه وتعالى knows best.' Then one of them says: 'O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, if poverty has kept him from Hajj, enrich him. If debt has kept him, relieve him of his debt. If illness has kept him, cure him. And if death has kept him, forgive him and have mercy on him.'"
