Chapter on Travelling for Hajj and Other Acts of Obedience
رَوَى عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي اَلْمِقْدَامِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «فِي حِكْمَةِ آلِ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّ عَلَى اَلْعَاقِلِ أَنْ لاَ يَكُونَ ظَاعِناً إِلاَّ فِي ثَلاَثٍ تَزَوُّدٍ لِمَعَادٍ أَوْ مَرَمَّةٍ لِمَعَاشٍ أَوْ لَذَّةٍ فِي غَيْرِ مُحَرَّمٍ.
Amr ibn Abi Al-Miqdam narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام who said: "In the wisdom of the family of Dawood عليه السلام it is stated that it is incumbent upon the intelligent person not to travel except for one of three purposes: gathering provisions for the Hereafter, seeking sustenance for livelihood, or indulging in permissible pleasure."
