1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Amr ibn ‘ Uthman af-Khazzaz from Afi ibn ‘ Abd Allah al-Bajaliy, from Khalid al- Qalanisiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that Ali ibn Al-Husayn عليه السلام, has said, ‘Perform ‘Umrah and Hajj, your bodies will become healthy, your sustenance increase and you will have sufficient for the expenses of your families.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘One who performs Hajj is forgiven, paradise is necessary, he resumes his deeds and he is safe and sound as well as his family and properties.’”
