Chapter on What Has Been Narrated Regarding Performing Hajj Before Gaining Knowledge
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْخُرَاسَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ اَلثَّانِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنِّي حَجَجْتُ وَ أَنَا مُخَالِفٌ وَ حَجَجْتُ حَجَّتِي هَذِهِ وَ قَدْ مَنَّ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيَّ بِمَعْرِفَتِكُمْ وَ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ اَلَّذِي كُنْتُ فِيهِ كَانَ بَاطِلاً فَمَا تَرَى فِي حَجَّتِي قَالَ «اِجْعَلْ هَذِهِ حَجَّةَ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ وَ تِلْكَ نَافِلَةً ».
It was narrated from Abu Abdullah al-Khurasani, from Abu Ja'far al-Thani, Imam Muhammad al-Jawad عليه السلام, who said: I said to him: "I performed Hajj while I was a dissenter, and now I have performed this Hajj after Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, has blessed me with the knowledge of you (Ahlulbayt). I have come to know that what I was upon was false. What is your view of my previous Hajj?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Make this [current] Hajj the Hajj of Islam, and consider the previous one as a supererogatory (nafl) Hajj."
