The Excellence of Hajj and ‘Umrah, and the Reward Thereof

13. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ali ibn Isma‘il from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Ja’far ibn ‘Imran from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that al-Hajj and al-‘Umrah are two market places (that deal with the merchandise) of the next life. Those who attach themselves to these two are part of the undertaking of Allah. He returns them to their families if He decides to keep them living, or admits them in paradise if He decides to cause them to die.”
